A development plan review request filed in Orange County on May 3 is seeking permission to demolish the Del Taco drive-thru restaurant at 12025 Collegiate Way — near the intersection of University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail, at the main entrance to the campus — and replace it with a Raising Cane’s, the popular Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based chain of chicken finger restaurants.

Kristina Belt, an engineer in the Vero Beach office for Kimley-Horn, is the applicant for the request on behalf of landowner DRE - 12025 Collegiate Way LLC — a subsidiary of Winter Park-based Demetree Global, which owns and has plans to redevelop the larger Collegiate Village commercial center the Del Taco is within.
