Starbucks wants to build a free-standing store in the parking lot of the Hillsborough Centre, anchored by the Stop and Shop supermarket, at 649 Route 206.
Starbucks would build a one-story business with a drive-thru off the center’s southerly access road off Route 206 near the free-standing Wells Fargo bank.
Starbucks is presently located about 100 yards away in the end unit of the adjacent Nelson’s Corner center.
Starbucks would need approval of the zoning Board of Adjustment and is on the board’s agenda for Wednesday, March 2.
The building would be 71 by 24 feet, plus an outdoor patio, on 0.44 acres of the 18.1 acres of Hillsborough Centre.
The applicant is the shopping center and the attorney and landowner is Robert Simon, based in Warren. Robert Heibell of Van Cleef Engineering is the engineer.
Starbucks says in its application that the design and use is consistent with the rest of the shopping center, and that there would be adequate “stacking” area in its driveway to avoid interfering with the center’s interior traffic.
