Box 2340 Dublin,CA 94566 (415) 829-A8J:� 4916 MEMORANDUM November 18 , 1982 TO: City Council FROM: Planning Director SUBJECT: Appeal of planning application PA82-003 NAUGLES, INC. GENERAL INFORMATION Subject: Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive-in restaurant Applicant/Appellant: Naugles, Inc. , 2932 East Nutwood Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92634 Representative: Robert Jacob, The Menlo Company, 1100 Alma Street, Suite 200 , Menlo Park, CA 94025 Property Owner: Jim Lange, 6500 Village Parkway, Dublin, CA 94568 Location: 6568 Village Parkway Assessor Parcel Number: 941-1401-21-1 Existing Land Use : Vacant commercial building, formerly a fast food restaurant; rear portion of site undeveloped. Surrounding Zoning and .Land Use: North - M-1; service station/car wash South - C-2; office building East - C-2; retail stores, including fast food restaurant West - Freeway Site History: January 1977 : Site Development Review approved for a fast food restaurant. September 2, 1982 : Planning application PA82-003 heard by Zoning Administrator. Application was continued to allow the applicant to explore the possibility of entering the site on the north side of the building and exiting on the south. Applicant concurred with the continuance. October 7 , 1982: Application heard by Zoning Administrator and approved subject to conditions. Applicant appealed the condition requiring the relocation of the drive-up window. 2 Applicable Regulations : A drive-in business in the C-2 District requires a Conditional Use Permit (Section 8-49 . 2) . A conditional use requires special review and appraisal to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need 2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other land use, transportation and service facilities 3) whether or not the use, under all circumstances and conditions, will have a substantial adverse effect on health or safety, or - be substantially detrimental to public welfare or injurious to property .or improvements- 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent of the zoning district. (Section 8-94 . 0) . The stated intent of the C-2 District is to provide locations for relatively large areas containing facilities for a wide variety of business and commercial activities needed to serve the community. Environmental Review: Categorically exempt, Class 5, Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitation. Notification: Public notice was given by publication, posting, and mail. ANALYSIS: Circulation: The proposed location of the drive-up window may lead to traffic safety problems. (See attached diagram) . A vehicle leaving the window would cross and block the path of vehicles entering the parking area. Vehicles blocked from entering the parking area would be stopped in the public right of way and may interrupt traffic flow .on Village Parkway. Reasonable parking lot design principles would provide that: 1. Aisles shall provide for non-congestive .flow from and into the street by logical relationships with the driveways. 2. A'..two-way driveway shall lead into a two-way aisle. 3. Reversal of the . ' right-hand rule' of driving for -two-way aisles or closely adjacent one-way drives is not acceptable. The following comments regarding the proposed circulation were received . during the application review process : Road Dept. - There can be on-site operational problems when exiting traffic crosses entering traffic. Fire Dept. - Establishment of divider to channelize vehicles to the drive-up window may impair the normal flow of traffic within the parking lot. Police - Service window should be located further back allowing more space to exit than plans call for. A relocation of the drive-up window away from the street would minimize 3 the traffic safety problems and congestion at the entrance to the parking lot. Landscaping: The undeveloped western portion of the site is without landscaping and tends to collect trash. Landscaping would make the project more attractive and appealing. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends denying the appeal, making the :findingsf and approving the project subject .to "conditions as follows: Find .that: - 1) The project is required by the public need for drive-in restaurant facilities. 2) The project is properly situated in relation to other land use, transportation, and service facilities. 3) The project, as conditioned, will not have substantial adverse effects on health or safety or be substantially detrimental to public welfare or injurious to property or improvements. 4) The project will be consistent with the intent of the C-2 District to provide for business and commercial activities to serve the community.
