Dutch Brothers at Fair Oaks Village

Dutch Brothers at Fair Oaks Village seeks approval to amend its use permit and undergo design review to add a second drive-through lane to its existing coffee operation within the Fair Oaks Village Special Planning Area. The project involves remodeling a 573-square-foot building and expanding site infrastructure to include twelve paved parking spaces—one designated ADA compliant—along with maneuvering areas, an expanded trash enclosure, and new landscaping. The addition of the second drive-through lane will require the removal of seven existing parking spaces, with only three being replaced, resulting in a net loss of four spaces. The new drive-through configuration will feature two converging lanes that meet at a single service window, designed to handle a queue of up to twelve vehicles without speaker boxes. All improvements must comply with Sacramento County’s Countywide Design Guidelines, and the proposal is subject to design review to ensure alignment with aesthetic and operational standards. The project is located on a 1.16-acre parcel in Sacramento, California, and the environmental coordinator for the county, Julie Newton, is the primary point of contact for inquiries.
