Rendering of the proposed In-N-Out Burger restaurant with drive-through lane

This is a new development proposal! This project is currently under review and will be scheduled for hearings in accordance with the application review process timeline. This page can be utilized to stay up to date with the proposal and provide feedback on the request.

Project Overview

This is a concept review for a proposal to construct a new restaurant with a drive-through, In-N-Out Burger, within the Broomfield Plaza shopping area. The In-N-Out Burger menu would be the same basic menu their guests have been served since 1948, with made to order food from quality fresh ingredients. The drive-through restaurant would be located in a new 3,887 square foot building, with an additional 2,000 square foot outdoor patio area, on the south end of the existing parking lot for the Broomfield Plaza. The subject site is currently part of the parking lot area directly west of the JAX Broomfield Outdoor Gear, Farm and Ranch store. Access to the site would be achieved through the existing access points from Sheridan Blvd and W 120th Avenue, which currently serve the entire Broomfield Plaza shopping area. The project includes a large covered patio space for outdoor seating, with heaters to be installed to accommodate year-round outdoor dining on colder days and evenings. The proposed building design is generally consistent with the typical In-N-Out Burger structures, a single-story Spanish-Mediterranean building with an associated drive-through lane.

Project Details

Applicant: In-N-Out Burger
Location: 5005 W. 120th Avenue
Project Type: Concept Review for Restaurant with a Drive-Through

City and County Staff Analysis

Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The zoning for this parcel is B-2 General Business District. The subject site falls within the West 120th Avenue Corridor Sub-Area Plan, which permits a variety of uses including restaurants, cafes, and general retail sales. The proposed restaurant with a drive-through is consistent with the development pattern in the area, as there are several similar uses on this stretch of W. 120th Avenue.

The Broomfield Comprehensive Plan designation for the subject property is “Commercial”. The subject proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.

Site Circulation, Parking and Multimodal Access: Under this proposal, vehicles would access the site from the south, or west, side of the Broomfield Plaza parking lot. The subject site will offer 54 parking stalls for guests. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the site will be able to accommodate up to 124 guests. This lot is intended to provide easy and efficient access due to the cross access through the Plaza shopping area. The site is specifically designed with no "dead-end" parking aisles to promote better vehicle circulation onsite.

The proposed drive-through lane entrance would be located west of the new building, and circle around the south side of the site - exiting to the east of the building, near the primary access point to the Broomfield Plaza shopping area. Per the submitted site plan, the drive-through would have the capacity for 34 queued vehicles. During peak times In-N-Out Associates may be deployed outside to take orders directly from customers in the drive-through lane by utilizing hand-held ordering tablets, which could help prevent excessive queueing lines from disrupting drive lanes adjacent to the drive-through access point.

The applicant will be required to include the minimum required number of EV-Installed, EV Ready, and EV Capable parking spaces as a part of the project.

Architecture: The property will feature a single-story Spanish-Mediterranean building, consistent with the standard corporate design for In-N-Out Burger restaurants. Landscaping will include deciduous and ornamental trees around the perimeter and throughout the site.
