UP City Council OKs Changes To CVS at 6709 Preston Road
The University Park city council this week created a planned development district to allow for changes to the CVS Pharmacy building at 6709 Preston Road including providing room for a drive-thru lane for a new drive-up window.
The council granted approval on the condition that the store hours remain from 7 a.m. to midnight.
“I would love to limit – at least keep the hours the same as they are now,” said Councilwoman Liz Farley.
The proposal includes an expansion of the pharmacy use to include the areas of the building that Busy Body fitness and Drytech Cleaners are in now. As part of the modifications, the overall floor area of the building will be reduced to 14,504 square feet, and the number of parking spaces on site will be reduced from 54 to 39.
“Along with the reduction in size of the building, which they’re removing about 10% of that building, they’ll do a facelift of the building and kind of modernize that,” said Community Development Director Patrick Baugh. “Those are the majority of changes that you’ll see – the drive-up window and the new facade.”
