Manzanita Avenue Habit Burger

The Manzanita Avenue Habit Burger project, identified by solicitation number PLNP2024-00150, involves the construction of a 2,257 square foot single story restaurant with a drive-through at 4750 Manzanita Avenue in the Carmichael Community of unincorporated Sacramento County. Site improvements include a new driveway, parking area, trash enclosure, patio seating, pedestrian connectivity, and landscape areas within the Shopping Center zoning district. The facility is scheduled to operate daily from 10:30 am to 10:00 pm, with extended drive-through hours until 11:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The project requires several key entitlements, including a Use Permit for a drive-through restaurant with amplified sound located within 300 feet of residential zoning and a Design Review for compliance with Sacramento County Countywide Design Guidelines. Additionally, a Special Development Permit is required to deviate from the standard landscape requirement, proposing 22.5 feet of landscaping instead of the mandated 25 feet. The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 as it is under 2,500 square feet and involves no significant hazardous substances. Compliance with Sacramento County General Plan Policy NO-6 regarding outdoor noise levels must be demonstrated prior to the occupancy of building permits. Administrative oversight is managed by Julie Newton of the Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review office.
