Chick-fil-A Proposed for Belmar

ZC3 has filed a plan with the city of Lakewood to put in a Chick-fil-A with drive through at the corner of S. Vance St and W. Virginia Ave (details below).

Wow. Unless thoughtfully designed, this seems likely to put a damper on sales of the KB Home duplexes that are immediately opposite-- I can't imagine walking out my front door to see cars idling in a fast food drive-though. There's also the issue of the odors generated by fast food restaurants.

And of course the fact that the last thing the world needs is another Chick-fil A.

At any rate, pictures of a depressingly suburban Chick-fil A built by the applicant in Aurora are available here.

Address:565 S Vance St
Applicant:ZC3, LLC
Owner:Continuum Partners LLC

  1. I live in belmar and I can think of so many other things I would rather see there. I would rather see it vacant than any chain fast food places.

  2. I live in Belmar and am very excited for the Chik fil a. It's better than the open field there, or a bank, or one of a MILLION other fast food restaurants they could put there. OH NO, A SAFE PLACE FOR KIDS!! If you think that the last thing the world needs is a Chik fil a, you're obviously oblivious to the countless burger fast food restaurants all around you. God forbid they build a NINTH Chik fil a in the metro area. Get your head out of the sand. Let me guess, you're another one of those people that took it so personal when an individual was asked whether or not he had personal beliefs, and he said yes. BOYCOTT HIS RESTAURANT!! HE BELIEVES THINGS!!

  3. The site plan, as currently envisioned, is a fundamentally suburban one. Its car-centric, and simply doesn't represent the best and highest use of the parcel. It's definitely a disappointment.
