Site Plan Application Review
Staff Report

Petition No. 23-004-TRC
General Description
The request for consideration by the City's Technical Review Committee is an application for Site Plan
Review of a 4,827 sq/ft fast-food restaurant with drive through service, located on Lot 2 of the Park Street
Commerce Center. Please see application 23-003-TRC for more information related to the replat and
associated infrastructure plans. The applicant has submitted a concurrent special exception application
(23-001-SE) for approval of the proposed drive -through. Access to the 2.16-acre subject property is
provided by NE 13th Ave, which will be improved as part of the replat. Staff analysis of the submitted
application and plans is provided below. Areas of deficiency or concern are highlighted in yellow.
Adequacy of Public Facilities
Potable Water and Sewer: OUA has provided a letter indicating the water and sewer plants have available
remaining capacity and that any extensions or upgrades necessary due to the designs or demands of the
proposed project will be at the owner's expense.
Traffic Generation: The applicant has provided a traffic analysis demonstrating available roadway capacity
for a 4,600 sq/ft drive -through restaurant.
Access and Internal Circulation: Two ingress/egress driveways are proposed on the eastern property
boundary with access to NE 13th Ave. An ingress/egress driveway is proposed on the western property
boundary, providing through -access to the abutting commercial parcel to the west. Internal two way
drive aisles are a minimum 24' wide. A crosswalk for pedestrians is provided from the northern parking
area through the drive -through lanes to provide access to the building sidewalk.
Additionally, the applicant has provided a queuing analysis with the special exception application. The
analysis demonstrates that the site contains sufficient vehicle stacking capacity to accommodate peak
demand without causing vehicle stacking to exceed the boundaries of the site.
Service Vehicle Access and Egress:
A. Fire Truck
Sufficiency of fire truck access and egress to be addressed by the Fire Department.
B. Loading Zone
No Loading zones are required per the City's zoning code, and none are proposed.
C. Dumpster Location and/or Trash Collection
The site plan provides a dumpster enclosure. Sufficiency of the dumpster enclosure and location
will be addressed by the solid waste provider.
Consistency and Compatibility with Adjacent Uses
The proposed drive -through restaurant use is consistent with the comprehensive plan and is compatible
with surrounding uses. Drive -through service is a special exception use within the Heavy Commercial
(CHV) zoning district. The applicant has submitted a concurrent special exception application, 23-001-SE,
to approve the drive -through use. The City's Board of Adjustment will determine whether the drive
through is approved, denied, or approved with conditions. The subject property has frontage on SR-70,
proximate to other commercial uses, and it is not expected that the proposed restaurant use will create
any adverse impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community.
