Monument development / Restaurant proposal · Updated October 12, 2026
Chick-fil-A plans at Legacy at Jackson Landing.
A proposed Chick-fil-A would join the growing retail center near Jackson Creek Parkway and Baptist Road. The restaurant application has its own review history and should not be confused with the Target store’s issued permits.
01 / restaurant plan
The proposed restaurant is part of a bigger shopping district.
Chick-fil-A has been named among tenants associated with Legacy at Jackson Landing, the multi-parcel retail development anchored by a planned Target on the east side of Interstate 25. The restaurant’s reported site is near Struthers Road, within the broader Baptist Road/Jackson Creek Parkway retail area.
Town development application 2026-012 describes a 4,728-square-foot restaurant on approximately 1.48 acres. The application separately proposes dual drive-through lanes and associated vehicle circulation, parking and site improvements.
Those proposed figures describe an application, not a final approved as-built project. The case was listed as under review in August 2026 in available project tracking. Readers should check the Town’s current StoryMap and official records for decisions or revised plans made after that date.
02 / site-plan details
Drive-through operations are a major planning issue.
Planning materials summarized publicly in August 2026 describe two drive-through lanes, two drive-through canopies and a detached trash enclosure. The concept shows seating for approximately 88 guests indoors and 24 on a patio, plus 71 parking spaces including accessible parking and two bicycle racks.
For a fast-food restaurant, the number of stalls is only part of the traffic discussion. Vehicle queues, turning paths, pedestrian safety, driveway locations and access to adjoining retail parcels also affect how a site operates.
Final drive-through geometry, screening, signage, conditions and opening dates depend on the project’s actual approvals, permits and construction.
What to watch
Announced tenant does not automatically mean approved building.
A developer or town official may confirm a business’s intention to locate at a shopping center before the restaurant’s detailed site plan is approved. Legacy at Jackson Landing’s larger land-use approval and Target’s building permit do not substitute for Chick-fil-A’s separate review.
The most reliable updates are the official application record and hearing materials for case 2026-012. If an approval appears later, its conditions and approved plans matter more than a preliminary concept image.
03 / commercial and neighborhood context
What another drive-through means for the retail corridor.
New food service can bring more dining choices and additional activity along the Jackson Creek retail spine, but it also adds individual driveway and peak-hour traffic patterns. The performance of one restaurant cannot be predicted solely from announced retail anchors nearby.
For commercial property owners, consider the larger center’s tenant mix, access, visibility and the potential for competing restaurant space. For nearby homeowners, evaluate the final site location, traffic circulation and proximity to the actual roads before drawing conclusions about noise or values.
Commercial and residential investors can use the El Paso County property research guide to locate a parcel and distinguish Town approvals from records associated with adjacent unincorporated areas.
