McCandless Planning Commission to Consider Proposals for McCandless Crossing

Plans for two restaurants, townhouses, and a Dick's Sporting Goods will be considered.

The McCandless Planning Commission will take votes on four different sets of plans for McCandless Crossing when it meets Tuesday, July 2.

1. Townhouses

Preliminary and final approval of a subdivision plan for the Residence at McCandless Crossing. Ryan Homes intends to build 53 townhouses  on the stretch of Cumberland Road between McKnight Road and Babcock Boulevard. Access will be on newly constructed streets off of Cumberland. 
Each unit will have a basement and two floors with either two or three bedrooms, and two-stall garages, and be a combination of brick and Hardiplank lap siding according to Bruce Betty, McCandless Land Use Administrator. 

2. Bonefish Grille

Preliminary and final approval of a land development application for the restaurant to be located in McCandless Crossing East Side.

3. Carrabba's Italian Grille

Preliminary and final approval of a land development application for the restaurant to be located in McCandless Crossing East Side.

4. Dick's Sporting Goods

Preliminary and final approval of a land development application a retail store to be located in McCandless Crossing East Side.

The closest Dick's Sporting Goods to McCandless is the store at the Shoppes at Northway in Ross. It's not clear what would happen to the Ross location once a store in McCandless Crossing is open. A representative of Dick's has been unavailable for comment. When Dick's opened its new location in Cranberry, it decided to renovate the vacated space into a new sporting goods concept store called Field & Stream.
