The Altoona Planning Commission on Tuesday approved a land development plan for a new Greenbean Coffee House on the 700 block of Sixth Avenue across the avenue from the leased and currently operating facility it will replace.
Owners Katy and Travis McCabe Kavi Partnerships LLC were originally planning to construct a three-story building with the coffee house on the first floor and apartments above at the corner of Eighth Street, but now plan simply to build a one-story building for the coffee house, according to landscape architect Adam Long of Keller Engineers.
The owners obtained a special exception from the Zoning Hearing Board for off-site parking, so they could build the parking lot for the new facility across the alley between Sixth and Fifth avenues in the multiple household residential zone where the new facility will be located.
