Chick-fil-A Plans Towson Restaurant

TOWSON, MD — A neighborhood association is reportedly negotiating with the developers about the potential for a new Chick-fil-A in Towson.

The property is at 1265 Joppa Road, on land southwest of East Joppa Road and Mylander Lane, according to Baltimore County. That address is also home to Bob Evans.

A zoning hearing slated for this week about Chick-fil-A's request was postponed. It had been set for Tuesday to discuss the need for waivers and variances, since its drive-thru lane would be 4 feet from residential property; its signs would exceed the maximum square footage permitted; and it would be near a failing intersection, that of Joppa Road and Loch Raven Boulevard.

The hearing was postponed pending negotiations with the neighborhood group, WMAR reported.

Currently there are Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Towson Town Center and on the Towson University campus.
