§ 156.E.008 OFF-STREET STACKING.

   (A)   Generally. Stacking spaces create capacity of a drive-through lane to hold vehicles while transactions are taking place at drive-through facilities. Stacking spaces are nine feet in width by 20 feet in length and provide direct access to a service window or other improvement. The position in front of a drive-through station (e.g., a service window, ATM, or station at a drive-through bank) is counted as a stacking space.

   (B)   Requirements.

      (1)   Minimum number. Uses that include drive-through service shall not have fewer than the number of stacking spaces established in Table 156.E.008, Stacking Requirements.

      (2)   Bypass lane. A ten-foot-wide bypass lane is required adjacent to stacking lanes to allow vehicles to travel around the drive-through activity and exit the site or park.

      (3)   Turn-around area. Controlled entrances shall be designed so that vehicles may turn around without entering the gated area or backing out into the public right-of-way.
