27 P ROJECT R EVIEW <br />28 The proposed Take 5 Car Wash at the Twin Lakes Station development is one of five total users, <br />29 two of which have already sought approval of a drive-through (Bank of America and Taco Bell). <br />30 The main site access to Twin Lakes Station is via the signalized intersection at County Road C <br />31 and Hershel Street (private road), with a secondary ingress located at the western-most point of <br />32 the development site,adjacent to the proposed Bank of America. <br />33 The Take 5 Car Wash is an express, self-serve car wash facility with two full-time employees on <br />34 site. When examining the overall site plan, the Take 5 Car Wash is located on the far right-hand <br />35 side of the site(easterly side) adjacent to the Rosedale Square Shopping Center, which includes <br />36 Lund’s and Byerly’s. Sole access to the car washsiteis provided from the private roadway <br />37 along the northern portion of the commercial development site. The private roadway could <br />38 become a public street in the future. The ingress/egress to the site is designed so as to <br />39 accommodate the possibility of the private roadwaybecoming public, but only if/when afuture <br />40 connection to the easterly property could be obtained. <br />41 Access to the car wash is designed as a one-way traveling north to south along the east side of <br />42 the site to the payment kiosks. From there, customers travel further south to the wash building. <br />43 Vehicles exit the wash building on the south, then turn right and head north to one of two vehicle <br />44 vacuum canopy areas comprising 15 vehicle stalls and/or directly to the site exit. The west side <br />45 of the site includes a two-waydrive lanefrom the ingress/egress for employees and customers, <br />46 and 5 additional parking stalls. <br />47 Typically, a traffic study is required for drive-through facilities. However, this proposed <br />48 development was included in the 2020 Twin Lakes Station Environmental Assessment <br />49 Worksheet (EAW), which included an extensive traffic study, albeit with only a single drive- <br />50 through facility (Bank of America). Giventhe proposed car wash use and the two other drive- <br />51 through businesses proposed at Twin Lakes Station (Taco Bell and Bank of America), the <br />52 applicant was required to provide the City Engineer updated traffic information related todrive- <br />53 through facilities, including queuing and circulation within the site. This information was <br />54 provided by Kimley-Horn and reviewed by the City’s traffic consultant, SRF Consulting Group <br />55 (Attachment D). It should be noted, in accordance with the EAW process, an extensive public <br />56 notification and comment period occurred whereby many governmental entities and the broader <br />57 public had the opportunity to comment on traffic and safety impacts from the proposed <br />58 development, including any drive-through facilitiesthat may be proposed. <br />59 Zoning CodeSections §1009.02.C and §1009.02.D.12establish general standards and criteria <br />60 applying to all conditional uses and specific standards and criteria applying to drive-through <br />61 facilities.

When deciding on whether to <br />66 approve or deny a conditional use, the Planning Commission (and City Council) must review the <br />67 proposal and determine if compliance can be achieved with the stated findings. <br />68 The general code standards of §1009.02.C are as follows: <br />69 a.
