Accessory Structures – Section 1325.01 – Flexibility Requested The applicant is proposing to install two free-standing canopies over the drive-thru lane: An order point canopy to be located north of the building, setback 14.7 feet from the property line; and an order meal delivery canopy to be located on the west side of the building, over the pick-up window, setback 2.3 feet from the property line. The Zoning Code requires accessory structures to be setback 10 feet from the property line in the B-3 District. B. Drive-Through Facilities – Section 1325.04 – Flexibility Requested Chick-fil-A’s drive-thru operation consists of two lanes of customer ordering and two lanes of meal fulfillment. This dual flex lane concept allows the restaurant operator to use the outer lane as either a second meal fulfillment lane or as a by-pass lane at their discretion to properly support the operational needs of the business. If/when the outer lane is not in use, a series of magnetic delineators will be used to merge cars back into one lane for meal fulfillment at the window. The pick-up window will be a multi-function door that can also function as a window. The purpose of the drive thru door is to allow team members to stage more meals and beverages indoors while they are delivering meals outside, directly to vehicle windows. The door allows easier access to the meals without passing them through a small window. During non-peak times or periods of inclement weather, the door can be closed and will function as a standard pickup window.
