Revised McDonald's Architectural Plans Approved

The Agoura Hills Planning Commission unanimously approved revised exterior site plans for the McDonald's located at 29161 Canwood Street Thursday night.

Franchise architect Ron Underwood stated at the meeting that he took into consideration the commission's as well as the public's concerns regarding the original designs that were proposed at the January 17 meeting, which included a yellow arc and mansard.

Also eliminated is the proposed sign variance from the earlier meeting.

What was approved includes a new, flat roof and the elimination of the "McDonald's" text on the south elevation of the building that faces Kanan off-ramp.

"I appreciate the concessions," said Michael Justice, vice chair. "I think the concerns were adequately addressed."

Though Commissioner Linda Northrup found the new look to be a bit "boxie," she found the design to be "compatible with the surrounding buildings."

Before moving forward, the architects must now seek approval from McDonald's.
