Any use or building other than a restaurant or bank or financial institution that contains a drive-in or drive-through facility that is designed to provide service to a patron who remains in their car shall comply with the requirements of this Section. These requirements are intended to support, enhance, and create a high quality public realm; to support and enhance the pedestrian environment and pedestrian connections; and to encourage development that fits well with and improves its existing or planned context.
(a) Streetscape Impact. The site development shall locate vehicle parking, outdoor apparatus and drive-in or drive-through facilities behind the principal structure and away from public streets to the maximum extent feasible.
(b) Building Design. Drive in/Drive-through uses must be built as an integral architectural element of the primary structure and use. Building materials shall be the same as those used in the primary structure. Drive-In/Drive-through facilities and structures separate from the primary structure are prohibited.
(c) Screening. Any drive-through facility shall be fully screened from any residentially zoned district by means of a buffer, wall, or architectural feature.
(d) Traffic Impact Analysis. A traffic impact analysis that conforms to Chapter 1278 shall be provided.
(e) Stacking.
(1) Location. Stacking lanes shall not be located between the building and a street, and may not be located in a required front yard.
(2) Circulation. Stacking lanes shall not impede maneuvering or travel lanes on or off-site.
(3) Evidence. There is no minimum stacking requirement, however, the applicant must submit evidence that the proposed number of stacking spaces provided in stacking lanes will be adequate to serve the anticipated traffic. Such evidence may include anticipated number of cars per hour, average service time per car, or other applicable information.
(f) Headlight Glare. Drive In/Drive-through uses shall be configured and screened such that glare from the headlights of vehicles waiting in the stacking lane is obstructed from shining into a public right-of-way or neighboring residential use.
