McDonald’s at Clay Street and Mission 66 will be getting a new home.

According to plans on file with the Vicksburg planning department, MNM Enterprises LLC, which owns the McDonald’s franchise in Vicksburg, wants to raze the existing building and replace it with a 5,177-square-foot building.

Mike Roach with MNM declined to comment, pending further negotiations. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday passed a resolution conditionally approving a seven-year redevelopment tax abatement for the property. The abatement freezes the property taxes for the site at the rate before the improvements were made. The total investment listed in the resolution was $1.5 million.

According to the plans, the new restaurant will be built east of the present building, using the existing property and an adjacent lot immediately east of the building on Clay Street. The new building will front Clay Street with entrances facing Clay Street and Mission 66. The plans also call for it to have two drive-through lanes and an indoor play area for children.

The parking lot will have entrances on Clay and Mission 66, with room for 60 cars and space to accommodate three buses.

The McDonald’s at 2400 Clay St. opened in 1992 and is one of three in Vicksburg, all owned by MNM.

Farther east, the old Wendy’s building at 2422 Clay St., is the subject of negotiations between Wendelta Properties of Memphis, which owns it, and an unnamed company to lease the building. Wendelta has filed an application with the Vicksburg Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to the city’s sign ordinance to have a sign similar to the present frame at the building.

Company officials would not say what business is proposed for the building.

The board will meet Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the City Hall Annex, 1415 Walnut St. to review the application.

Zoning administrator Dalton McCarty said the sign was allowed under a special use after the Wendy’s was built. When Wendy’s moved and the building was left vacant for six months, the special use expired.

Susan McDonald, a paralegal for Carlisle Corp. of Memphis, which owns Wendelta, said the company filed the request to keep the same stand for the sign.
