Based on Table 1005-5 of allowableuses, a fast 4 food restaurant is a conditional use in the CMU-1 and CMU-2 districts and is permitted in the CMU- 5 3 and CMU-4 districts. However, the affiliated drive-through for a fast food restaurant is prohibited 6 in all CMU districts. Additionally, a drive-through associated with a use other than a fast food 7 restaurant is prohibited in the CMU-1 and CMU-2 district, but, is permitted with an approved 8 conditional use in the CMU-3 and CMU-4 district. 9 The applicant is working on behalf of Panda Express who desires to construct a restaurant with a 10 drive-through on the parcel addressed 2030 Twin Lakes Parkway. This lot lies in front of the 11 Walmart in the northwest corner of the site, with frontage on Cleveland Avenue. Access to the 12 subject property will be provided by the existing joint accesses off Twin Lakes Parkway (2) and 13 County Road C. The applicant seeks support for amending Table 1005-5 to permit fast food drive- 14 throughs as a conditional use (See Attachment A –RPCA). 15 When exercising the City’s legislative authority on a text amendment to the Zoning Code, the role of 16 the City is toreview the request on its merits,in addition to evaluating the potential impacts of such 17 a change to the publichealth, safety, and general welfare of the community.

Specifically, Member Schaffhausen asked what the historical rationale was for 28 the not-permitted determinationbased on the locations being discussed. Member Kruzel asked if 29 this is typical of what other cities allow. Member McGehee asked if there was a way to allow this 30 without making an overall change. 31 City Planner Paschke and Community Development Director Gundlach responded to the 32 Commissioners questions with an historical perspective regarding drive-throughuses in the CMU 33 Districts and recent text amendments to the required conditions governing such uses.
