SUBJECT: Sonic/Taco Time
• CUP-08-029
On November 20, 2008 the Planning and ZOIIing Commission voted to continue this proiect to
allow for a redesign of the site plan. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan with the
following chances:
• The building orientations have changed from the previous site plan. The Sonic restaurant
rotated 90 degrees and runs north and south and the Taco Time restaurant has shifted
eastward and no longer conflicts with the Sonic drive-through. As a result of the redesign
the applicant has increased the size of the site to better accommodate the proposed drive-
throughs.
• The applicant has shifted the approved northern driveway (E. Cinema Drive) access to the
west and widened the western access point (S. Millennium Way) for better access to the site.
In addition an additional drive aisle is depicted which connects the southeast corner of the
Taco Time site with 5. Celebration Avenue.
• The applicant-has provided two-way access with the Dutch Brothers site to the south
located in the southeast corner of the proposed Sonic site.
• A revised landscape plan was not provided to staff for review however. it is anticipated that
a landscape plan maybe available prior to the public hearing.
• Bike racks have been provided for both sites and the pedestrian connectivity is provided
from the adiacent public sidewalks. Further all parking stalls and drive aisles are in
compliance with the UDC.
Staff has reviewed the revised site plan and has not recommended any additional
modifications. Analysis of the revised site plan and modified conditions of approval for the
CUP are provided in a strike through and underline format below.
1. SiJ1VIlVIARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Boise Food Service, has applied for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for two
drive-through establishments within 300 feet of another drive-through establishment (Dutch Brothers
Coffee).

the C-G zone, with Specific Use Standards for Drive-through Establishments. The Specific Use
Standards listed in UDC 11-4-3.11 require Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for drive-through

:: r :-
-. ,
On October 30, 2008 a joint agency and department meeting was held with service providers in this

~_: ~ Department and Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions and
~~-~,' recommended actions in Exhibit B below.
~;, .,
;1:
'~?r~s 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
~`_- The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "Mixed Use
``~-~'~`` -Regional (MU-R)." Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, the Mixed Use land use category
contains five sub-categories. "Generally, the mixed-use designation will provide for a combination of
compatible land uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual site plan. The purpose
t ~ .i'- of this designation is to identify key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible
~~ or transitioning areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged.
'
The intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility."
'~~`
~j~ The purpose is to designate areas at predominant comers of major arterials that provide a mix of
, _ _ ;, employment, retail and residential or public uses. The developments should be anchored by uses that
k
... ~ have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses,
`' "~ including residential and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail
center.
This category includes uses such as grocery stores, drug stores, coffee/sandwich shops, dry
cleaner/Laundromat, professional offices, retasUgift shops, clothing stores, garden centers, restaurants,
~~ ~~ ` banks, drive-through facilities, auto service stations, department stores, medicaUdental clinics,
M~~~~" schools, parks, churches, public uses, clubhouses, hardware stores, salons, daycares, entertainment
~-~ : uses, major employment centers, and clean industry.
The subject site is currently zoned C-G, which complies with the MU-R land use designation. Staff
believes the proposed drive-through establishments will generally conform to the stated purpose,
intent, and standards of the MU-R land use category within the Comprehensive Plan and complement
F ' . existing uses in the area. Currently in the area there is a mix of uses including a movie theater, muitl-
~'' ` ~ tenant buildings, personal service shops, restaurants, retail, Harley Davidson Dealership, and animal
~~~ ~~} hospital. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and
~;~.
sN
apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):

'~ ~ ~ Dimensional Standards: There are no minimum setback requirements in the C-G zoning district.
The maximum building height in the C-G zoning district is 65 feet; the elevations for the two

Drive-Through Establishment: Per UDC 11-4-3-11, Specific Use Standards apply to the proposed
``' -' drive-through uses of the property as follows:
=,~
~~'4 • All establishments providing drive-through service shall identify the stacking lane,
±~ :' speaker location, and window location on the plans submitted with the Certificate of
~~ : ° ' Zoning Compliance application. The stacking lanes, speaker location and pick up
windows as shown and comply with this requirement.
• Stacking lanes shall have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of the public
r ~ ` right-of--way by patrons. Staff believes there is su, fficient stacking capacity for the
proposed restaurant uses. u ,...,,..,,. +~ ......: ,.+,,,~+:,.~ ~ ,. ~ ,~~s -v . . +i ..

• The stacking lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access
and parking. There are separate stacking lanes proposed for each of the proposed
drive-throughs.
• The stacking lane shall not be located within ten feet (10') of any residential district
or existing residence. NA (The proposed stacking lane is not within 10' of a
residential district or residence.)
• Any stacking lane greater than one hundred feet (100') in length shall provide for an
escape lane. The proposed stacking lanes for both drive-throughs exceed 100 feet in
length; thus escape lanes have been provided as required by the UDC.
• A letter from the Transportation Authority indicating the site plan is in compliance
with the authority's standards and policies shall be required. The applicant shall
comply with this requirement if covered under the Transportation Authority's
(ACHD) jurisdiction.
Staff finds that the revised site plan complies with the specific use standards for adrive-through
establishment, as set forth in UDC 11-4-3.11.
