(a) Drive-through facilities and other establishments which, by their nature, create lines of customers waiting to be served within automobiles, shall provide off-street waiting areas, on the same lot as the use, in addition to the required number of parking spaces specified in Section 1125.04.
Activity | Minimum Waiting Spaces (Per Lane) | Measured From: |
Financial Institution or Automated Teller Machine (ATM) | 3 | Teller or Window |
Restaurant | 4 | First Drive-Through Window or Stall |
Full Service Car/Truck Wash | 5 | Outside of Washing Bay |
Self-Service or Automated Car/Truck Wash | 2 for each bay | Outside of Washing Bay |
Retail Fuel Sales | 2 per accessible side of the pump island | Fuel Pump |
Other | As determined by the Zoning Administrator | |
(c) Waiting lanes shall be provided for any use having a drive-through facility and shall comply with the following standards:
(1) Drive-through waiting lanes shall have a minimum width of eight feet and a minimum length of 18 feet for each space required.
(2) When waiting lanes are separated from other waiting lanes, bypass lanes, or from other site areas, the separation shall be by means of a raised concrete median, concrete curb, landscaping, or painted striping.
(3) The number of waiting spaces required by Table 1125-4 shall be required for each separate waiting lane. If two or more waiting lanes converge into one lane (e.g., two lane separate lanes to order at a restaurant converge to one lane after the drive-through sign), the waiting spaces shall be measured in accordance with Table 1125-4 with the spaces located after the convergence point counting toward both waiting lanes.
(4) Vehicles shall not be permitted to wait within the public right-of-way for service at such drive-in or drive-through facilities.
(5) The Planning Commission may reduce the number of required waiting spaces when the applicant provides credible documentation, such as studies from similar sites, that fewer than the required number of waiting spaces does not impede vehicular traffic flow on the site and ingress/egress to the site.
