§ 88-338-02. DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITIES

88-338-02-A. A drive-through facility shall not be a principal use of the parcel, but rather shall be accessory to a principal building on the parcel.

88-338-02-B. The principal building shall be located on the front property line, so as to form a street edge.

88-338-02-C. All functions associated with the drive-through use shall be located on the sides or rear (not facing the street) of the principal building, but may be underneath a portion of the principal structure.

88-338-02-D. A permanent porte-cochere structure shall be constructed, extending from the public right-of-way line to over the drive-through service windows. The porte-cochere(s) shall extend the width of the drive and be a minimum of 20 feet in length. The porte-cochere shall be structurally integrated with the principal building and its design shall be consistent in respect to pattern, scale, material, and form.

88-338-02-E. Building materials used on the drive-through establishment shall be applied to all four elevations and be consistent with those of the principal building so as to form a cohesive vision.

88-338-02-F. The nearest point of the drive-through operation of any establishment, including the drive-through lane, menu board, and service windows, must be at least 50 feet from the boundary of a residentially zoned district.

88-338-02-G. Each drive-through facility must provide a minimum of 80 feet of vehicle stacking area (queue space) between the right-of-way and the first point of service to accommodate waiting vehicles and to ensure that no motor vehicles will block pedestrian traffic on public sidewalks or vehicular traffic on public streets. The stacking area must be designed to accommodate safe and efficient on-site circulation and parking space access.

88-338-02-H. Service windows shall be a minimum of 25 feet behind the front façade (nearest the public right-of-way) of the principal building.

88-338-02-I. Ingress and egress lanes to the drive-through facility shall be from a side street or alley, unless as otherwise permitted in conjunction with a development plan or site plan.

88-338-02-J. Ingress and egress lanes should be separated, with the ingress lane no wider than 12 ft. and the egress lane no wider than 24 ft.

88-338-02-K. Traffic flow through the site shall be one-way.

88-338-02-L. Direct pedestrian access from public streets and sidewalks to the building entrances shall be provided.

88-338-02-M. Pedestrian walkways and crossings upon the site shall be clearly marked or distinguished to avoid conflict between pedestrians and traffic through the use of raised pedestrian crossings, change in paving material or embossed striping, bollards, landscaping, or other approved method. Painted striping does not meet this requirement.

88-338-02-N. A drive-through use adjacent to and within 150 ft. of a boulevard or parkway must comply with standards of 88-323.

88-338-02-O. "No Idling" or "Idle-Free Zone" signs must be posted in all off-street loading areas.
