Austintown Long John Silver's to move locations

The Long John Silver's restaurant in Austintown is getting ready to be moved to a new location.
21 News has obtained a copy of a letter sent to Austintown Zoning Inspector Darren Crivelli showing renderings of what the new building would look like, as well as some requests for the proposed site. Those renderings are pictured below.

As it stands, the restaurant is located at 850 North Canfield-Niles Road and is combined with a Taco Bell.
The proposal called for the location to be moved to 871 North Canfield-Niles Road, which is a vacant property just before the on ramp to I-80 East across the street from a Shell gas station.
According to the letter, Charter Foods, a company based out of Morristown, Tennessee, is asking for the number of parking spaces on the vacant property to be cut in half from 44 to 22.
Charter Foods says this is because they've noticed ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, most customers are likely to use the drive-thru and dine-in customers only use between 12 to 18 spaces at any given time.
This request was heard at the Board of Appeals meeting on Thursday, January 30 where the board voted unanimously to grant the request.
The next step is to secure zoning and building permits prior to the start of construction after submittal, review and approval of the stormwater management drawings.
