74 midday peak hour, and 1,201 weekday daily trips. The trips generated were distributed to the 75 study area based on the directional distribution shown in Figure 4, which was developed 76 based on a combination of existing daily traffic volumes/travel patterns, information from the 77 previously completed AUAR, and engineering judgment. A review of the drive-through 78 queuing storage area was completed to identify if queues from the proposed drive-through 79 extend beyond the provided storage distance. Therefore, a literature review and field 80 observations were completed to understand expected queueing lengths for the proposed 81 coffee shop. Note, the Starbucks Coffee at 2305 Fairview Avenue N (across from Rosedale 82 Center) was observed during the weekday morning and Saturday midday peak hours. 83 According to the Drive-Through Queue Generation Study completed by Counting Cars in 84 2012, maximum queues at a coffee shop can extend to 16 vehicles, with an 85th percentile 85 queue of 14 vehicles. Additionally, drive-through queuing observations indicate a maximum 86 of 15 vehicles and an approximate 85th percentile of 13 vehicles during those peak hours, 87 which is consistent with the Drive-Through Queue Generation Study. On average there were 88 approximately 10 vehicles queued. Note, the maximum observed queues typically lasted for 89 less than one (1) minute in duration. Based on the site plan provided, there is room for 12 90 vehicles to queue within the drive-throughlane before impacting the internal parking lot 91 circulation. Note, this will block the proposed trash enclosure area, however, that is expected 92 to be utilized outside of peak hours. It is expected that the proposed drive-through will 93 accommodate the majority of the expected drive-though queues at the site, however, 94 approximately 25 percent of the peak hour trips are expected to queue beyond the storage and 95 could be expected to queue within the overflow areas shown on the site plan. 96 e. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively 97 impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and 98 general welfare. Generally, this proposed drive-through and fast-food restaurant will not be 99 injurious to the surrounding neighborhood; negatively impact traffic or property values; and 100 will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and general welfare. Specifically, the 101 Planning Division anticipates an approved drive-through for this site to increase vehicle trips 102 on the adjacent roadways, however,not significantly, or consistently, or otherwise 103 unmanageable under the proposed site access, drive-through, and circulation plan. 104 R EVIEW OF S PECIFIC C ONDITIONAL U SE C RITERIA: §1009.02.D.12 of the Zoning Code establishes 105 additional standards and criteria that are specific to drive-through facilities: 106 a. Drive-through lanes and service windows shall be located to the side or rear of buildings 107 and shall not be located between the principal structure and a public street except when the 108 parcel and/or structure lies adjacent to more than one public street and the placement is 109 approved by the Community Development Department (Ord. 1443, 6-17-2013). Planning 110 Division staff will work with applicants on building placement and drive-through location as 111 the basis for this criterion is to limit vehicular impacts on adjacent roadways and more 112 specifically the pedestrian realm. The adjacent public street of emphasis for this proposalis 113 Cleveland Avenue, while County Road C, although important as well, becomes the 114 secondary street. The proposal by Starbucks is required to “tuck” the building into the 115 southwest corner, which eliminates the ability of placing the drive-through lane between the 116 building and Cleveland Avenue. With that said, the drive-through does lie adjacent to 117 County Road C, however it is also not between the building and the street, and this design 118 detail is acceptable to the Community Development Department. 119 b. Points of vehicular ingress and egress shall be located at least 60 feet from the street right- PF22-009_RPCA_Starbucks_CU_100522 Page 3 of 5
