NATCHEZ — Natchez could soon be getting a Wendy’s restaurant — again — this time on Seargent S. Prentiss Drive.

The Natchez Planning Commission approved a final site plan for the Wendy’s, which will be located at 288 Seargent S. Prentiss Drive at the old Trace City Toyota location.

The planning commission’s approval was given with seven conditions including the submission of a revised plan with paint striping details for the parking lot and an irrigation system.

Natchez City Planner Bob Nix said most of the conditions have already been addressed by Wendelta Inc., a Wendy’s franchisee company developing the new location.

Nix said Wendelta Inc. has been responding the planning department’s requests very quickly. He said he is not sure when construction will begin, but he said he would not be surprised if it was in the next few months.

In other news from the meeting:

• The commission approved a request from Natchez Hotel Group Inc., the company developing the Holiday Inn Express on Canal Street to create two new lots with two smaller outer lots from the approximately 12-acre lot at the location.

The hotel is proposed to be built on the approximately three-acre lot fronting Canal Street.

• Nix reported to the commission that Edward A. Vance, the Magnolia Bluffs Casino’s architect, and other representatives from Premier Gaming met Thursday with members of the Historic Natchez Foundation about changes to the Roth Hill Road casino’s design that was presented at the preservation meeting.

Nix said there has been a major change to the exterior of the building, and most of the issues raised at the preservation meeting are being effectively addressed.

“I think they will present something that will be a superior design (at the next preservation meeting),” he said. “I think the preservation commission will be pleased with what they see.”

Nix also said he investigated the issue raised at the preservation meeting of whether or not planning department procedures had been violated in issuing permits for construction of the casino. No procedures were violated, he said, and the piling work developers said at the meeting they had received approval for did not require separate permits.
