Gas stations require conditional use approval, said City Manager Jonathan Westendorf.
A public hearing on the site plan is scheduled during the Wednesday Franklin Planning Commission meeting in the city building at 1 Benjamin Franklin Way.
The gas station and convenience store would go on three parcels at the southwest corner of East Second Street/Ohio 73 and Eastlawn Drive, adjacent to Walgreens, according to documents submitted to the city.
Although there is a single-family house on each parcel, the properties are zoned commercial, Westendorf said.
Each house would be razed and the property consolidated into the 1.59-acre lot on which Casey’s would be built, according to the proposal.
Casey’s also is seeking a conditional use approval to construct a ground sign with an electronic message.
