The location at 355 Central Park Avenue North was formerly a Verizon store, and originally an 850-seat movie theater from the 1960s. The new restaurant, initially designed for 419-421 seats, has been reduced by 10 seats to proactively address potential parking or capacity concerns. The applicant, Brixmor Property Group, is seeking a Special Use Permit and a Shared Parking Waiver for this commercial conversion within the Dalewood I Shopping Center.
