McDonald's is planning a seventh restaurant in St. Augustine.
It is proposed on a vacant outparcel at 240 Blackford Way in the Winn-Dixie-anchored Shores Village Plaza shopping center off U.S. 1.
St. Johns County and the St. Johns River Water Management District are reviewing plans for the 3,859-square-foot fast-food restaurant.
Site plans show 33 parking spaces and a dual drive-thru.
McDonald’s USA LLC, based in Chicago, is the applicant. Jacksonville-based Ash Properties, through Splitsville LLC, owns the property. Integrity Engineering & Development Services of Dacula, Georgia, is the civil engineer. The Seyer Group, a Sarasota-based consulting firm, is representing the project.
Ash Properties also owns Shores Village Plaza.
McDonald’s was founded in 1954 in San Bernardino, California, and now operates more than 36,000 restaurants in about 100 countries, according to McDonalds.com.
As of June 30, there were 882 McDonald’s locations in Florida, according to data site ScrapeHero.com.
The St. Johns County Development Review Committee has yet to schedule a discussion with the Seyer Group regarding the project.
Once the water management district and the county approve the plans, McDonald's can apply for a building permit.
