Starbucks and Dessert Shop
610 York Road, Jenkintown, PA · 3,522 sq ft non-residential, restaurant · 7.91 acres
About this project
A café with a drive-through, about 2,522 square feet, and a 1,000-square-foot frozen dessert stand are planned at 610 York Road in Jenkintown, built on part of the existing surface parking lot on the north corner of the 7.9-acre site. The rest of the lot would be reconfigured, and total parking would drop by 68 spaces to 514.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: building design does not show how the roofline meets pitched-roof standards, no direct pedestrian path from the Old York Road sidewalk to the frozen dessert stand, no direct pedestrian connection from Spring Avenue or Rodman Avenue to the buildings, internal walkways need surface materials distinct from driving areas
