117 R EVIEW OF S PECIFIC C ONDITIONAL U SE C RITERIA: §1009.02.D.12 of the Zoning Code establishes 118 additional standards and criteria that are specific to drive-through facilities: 119 a. Drive-through lanes and service windows shall be located to the side or rear of buildings 120 and shall not be located between the principal structure and a public street except when the 121 parcel and/or structure lies adjacent to more than one public street and the placement is 122 approved by the Community Development Department (Ord. 1443, 6-17-2013).The basis 123 for this criterion is to limit vehicular impacts on adjacent roadways and the pedestrian realm. 124 Although a small portion of the drive-through lane lies between the vehicle wash building 125 and County Road C, the payment kiosk is located in the side yard on the north side of the 126 wash building.This drive-through lane orientation on the siteis acceptable to the Community 127 Development Department and functions well within the overall redevelopment area. 128 b. Points of vehicular ingress and egress shall be located at least 60 feet from the street right- 129 of-way lines of the nearest intersection. The nearest access to the Twin Lakes Station 130 development and the proposed Take 5 Car Wash site is the signalized intersection at County 131 Road C, which lies west of the development site approximately 680 feet from the access into 132 the car wash site. 133 c. The applicant shall submit a circulation plan that demonstrates that the use will not interfere 134 with or reduce the safety of pedestrian and bicyclist movements. Site design shall 135 accommodate a logical and safe vehicle and pedestrian circulation pattern. Queuing lane 136 space shall be provided, sufficient to accommodate demand, without interfering with primary 137 driving, entrance, exit, pedestrian walkways, or parking facilities on site. The circulation 138 plan shall be made a condition of approval and shall survive any and all users of the drive- 139 through and may need to be amended from time to time to ensure continued compliance with 140 this condition. Said amendments to the circulation plan will require an amendment to the 141 conditional use. The vehicle circulation plan provided for the Planning Commission’s 142 consideration includes the north/south pathway connection requested by Commissioner 143 McGhee at the February meeting, connecting the trail along County Road C to the pathway 144 between the commercial development site and The Harbor residential complex. From that 145 north/south pathway there is a connection on the south allowing pedestrians to walk to the 146 car wash building. This pedestrian access does cross the exit lane from the wash building, 147 however its location will afford exiting vehicles to stop or slow enough to not impede 148 pedestrian safety. Further, the submitted Site Plan incorporates sufficient queuing spacewith 149 logical and safe circulation and adequate parking facilities. 150 d. Speaker box sounds from the drive-through lane shall not be loud enough to constitute a 151 nuisance on an abutting residentially zoned property or property in residential use. 152 Notwithstanding this requirement, such speaker boxes shall not be located less than 100 feet 153 from an existing residentially zoned property or property in residential use. Car wash drive- 154 throughs are similar to ATM drive-throughs in that they are typically automated at a very low 155 volume to guide the customer for payment or providing a wash number. Additionally, the 156 Take 5 payment kiosk lies approximately 240 feet from The Harbor apartment units. The 157 Take 5 Car Wash project included two options for the payment kiosk. The first includesup 158 to three employees occupying the payment kiosks to offer various washes and collect 159 payment. The second option is to install automated payment machines, much like an ATM. 160 Regardless of which option is implemented, with both instances the noise emitted from either 161 a human or an automated machine would not generate burdensome noise impacts to The 162 Harbor.
