Attachment A 66 Restaurant, fast food: An establishment where customers are served their food from a counter 67 or in a motor vehicle, mostly in disposable packages prepared to leave the premises or to be 68 taken to a table or booth for consumption on the premises. Fast food can be a café, coffee shop, 69 ice cream shop, and/or deli. Fast food restaurants may or may not serve intoxicating alcoholic 70 beverages to be consumed upon the premises. Food sales shall account for over 50% of the gross 71 receipts at any restaurant serving intoxicating alcoholic beverages.Fast food restaurants may 72 include drive-through facilities, which are regulated separately. 73 Restaurant, traditional: An establishment in which customers are served their food in or on 74 non-disposable dishes to be consumed primarily while seated at tables or booths within a 75 building, and which may or may not serve intoxicating alcoholic beverages to be consumed upon 76 the premises. Food sales shall account for over 50% of the gross receipts at any restaurant 77 serving intoxicating alcoholic beverages. Traditional restaurants may also be a café, cafeteria or 78 buff et, coffee shop, and/or deli. Customers may take away food, but drive-through facilities are 79 not allowed. 80 The Planning Division is impartial on this request, however, there may be benefits to amending the 81 Code in support of drive-throughs on select parcels in the current CMU-4 district. Specifically, if we 82 are to support fast food as a conditional or permitted use, it would seem logical to also support the 83 drive-through since a majority of these restaurants will not occupy space or construct facilities 84 without a drive-through. Further, the City Engineer requires a traffic study for all drive-through 85 facilities since traffic tends to be the greatest concern for drive-throughs in commercial areas. 86 Lastly, in review of the Twin Lakes Area CMU districts, there is little land left to develop or 87 redevelop that is appropriate for fast food with drive-through. The Planning Division considers only 88 the two lots in front of Walmart and possibly the retail portion of the Launch Properties 89 redevelopment of the former Boaters Outlet site to be suitable areas or parcels for drive-throughs 90 associated with a fast food restaurant.It is conceivable the Fireside Corner and the Tile Shop could 91 be redeveloped in the future and seek a CU for a fast food drive-through. However, it is not 92 anticipated the other 12 properties would be redeveloped into a fast food restaurant. 93 P LANNING D IVISION R ECOMMENDATION 94 If the Planning Commission is inclined to support a change in the allowance of drive-throughs 95 associated with fast food restaurants, the Planning Division would recommend changing the NP to a 96 C for Restaurant, Fast Food w/Drive-Through in the CMU-4 district as noted below: Commercial Uses Pawn Shop NP NP NP NP Restaurant, fast food C C P P Restaurant, fast food w/drive-through Y NP NP NP NP C Restaurants, traditional PP PP 97 The Planning Division has also included Attachment B, a highlighted map representing the 98 properties available for development in the CMU-4 district that such a text amendment would affect 99 and Attachment C the zoning map of Twin Lakes and the current CMU district. 100 S UGGESTED P LANNING C OMMISSION A CTION 101 The Planning Commission should discuss the merits of the three options noted in lines 27-38 of the 102 RPCA, take public input on the proposed amendment, and make a recommendation to either support 103 or deny the application.
