30.34A.105 Design standard - drive-through facilities.
The standards of this section are intended to allow for drive-through facilities by reducing the negative impacts they may create. Of special concern are noise from idling cars and voice amplification equipment, lighting and queued traffic interfering with on-site and off-site traffic and pedestrian flow.
(1) Drive-through facilities shall be attached to a primary structure.
(2) Drive-through facilities and stacking lanes shall not be located along the street frontage of a building that faces a public road network element.
(3) For each stacking lane of a drive-through restaurant, a minimum of 10 stacking spaces shall be provided. For all other drive-through uses not listed, a minimum of four stacking spaces shall be provided.
(4) Drive-through facilities windows and stacking lanes shall be visually screened from public road network elements with an evergreen screen and/or architectural element or combination thereof with a minimum height of four feet.
(5) Stacking lanes shall be physically separated from parking lots, sidewalks, and pedestrian areas by an evergreen screen and/or architectural element, or combination thereof with a minimum height of four feet.
(6) Screening elements shall reflect the design of the primary building and shall provide a physical separation that cannot be traversed in a method other than the circulation route intended for the drive-through traffic.
(7) Drive-through facilities speakers shall not be audible off site.
(8) Pedestrian paths that cross a drive-through aisle shall use a raised platform and be marked with symbols, signage and/or special painting. (Added by Amended Ord. 13-007, Sept. 11, 2013, Eff date Oct. 3, 2013).
