Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 16, 2024 Page 2 1 Commercial District by Conditional Use Permit provided they comply with the requirements 2 of the terms of the Conditional Use reviews and code requirements. 3 4 For this project the applicant will make only a few construction changes to the site, with the 5 primary access points remaining untouched (an internal private street on the south and a right- 6 in, right-out driveway from Silver Lake Road on the west). Internal circulation will be 7 modified, however, resulting from two new medians installed to separate drive-through 8 ordering and pick-up traffic, and a change to the circulation flow – creating a one-way 9 counter-clockwise circulation on the north and east sides of the property from what is 10 currently a two-way pattern. 11 12 The one-way circulation change reconfigures 90 degree parking on the north and west 13 boundaries to a combination of 11 angled spaces and 5 parallel waiting spaces for pre-order 14 customers – reducing overall parking on the site by approximately 16 spaces. A small change 15 to an existing curb island is also included to manage waiting spaces at the exit portion of the 16 site. 17 18 Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the 19 City’s Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the Commercial District as a 20 baseline. In summary, the Comprehensive Plan supports commercial uses in this area. The 21 proposed application would, with appropriate conditions, facilitate that purpose for the subject 22 property. However, there are conditions that staff has recommended to mitigate or clarify 23 potential impacts from the revised plan. With those conditions, staff recommends approval of 24 the proposed CUP. 1.25 The applicants provide confirmation of the easement and rights to use, improve, and 26 maintain the subject property. 2.27 The City finds that the changes to parking supply are supported by the additional 28 drive-through configuration. 3.29 The applicants are subject to a City requirement for additional site plan modifications 30 in the event that parking requirements for the restaurant are shown to be inadequate to 31 support dine-in and employee parking on the site. 32 33 The application and Supporting Materials were provided for Commission consideration. 34 35 Commissioner Erickson asked about the dining capacity and noted there does not appear to be 36 enough parking spaces to match the dining capacity according to the Code. 37 38 Commissioner Morita asked about Condition #3 and Mr. Grittman stated the property owner 39 would be contacted if there were concerns about capacity issues and what additional changes 40 would be needed to maximize capacity. Mr. Grittman stated the ability of the City to 41 reconsider how the site is used as part of the review it is not uncommon for including 42 Condition #3. A few extra parking spaces could be added if necessary but no problem is 43 anticipated. Commissioner Morita stated it would be a self-regulating issue. The condition 44 does not need to be over-regulated. 45
