HomeMy WebLinkAboutPlanning SummaryItem #7: Fred Meyer Pharmacy (CUP-09.009)
Application: CUP for adrive-thru pharmacy for Fred Meyer's within 300' of another drive-thru facility, as required by UDC 11-4-3-11.
Location, size of property and existing zoning: This site is located on the northeast corner of Fairview & Locust Grove at 1850 E.
Fairview Ave, and is currently zoned C-G.
Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: The general area surrounding the proposed drive-through consists of commercial retail, professional
services, bank, restaurant, and storage unit facility uses and is zoned C-G.
1. North: Storage unit facility, zoned C-G
2. East: Restaurants/commercial uses, zoned C-G
3. South: Commercial uses (bank, restaurant, fuel facility), zoned C-G
4. West: Commercial/restaurant/professional service uses, zoned C-G
Site Ptan: The site plan depicts the location of the drive-thru on the south side of the building at the west entrance to the store. There
are two existing drive-through lanes in this location separated by a 5-foot wide raised concrete island. The applicant proposes the
pharmacy drive-through to be located in the existing drive-thru lane closest to the store entry. A pharmacy kiosk is proposed to be
constructed within the existing island separating the two drive-through lanes. There is another drive-thru facility northwest of this
location at Groove Coffee within 300' of the proposed drive-thru. Staff does not believe that traffic movement and stacking for the
existing and proposed drive-through lanes will interfere with each other.
Landscaping: The existing concrete cap in the island where the kiosk is proposed will be removed and soil and landscaping (shrubs)
is proposed to be installed.
Elevations: Elevations of the proposed pharmacy kiosk were submitted w/this application. The proposed kiosk measures 21"deep x
10' 5" tall x 10' wide.
Hours of Operation: 7 am to 11 pm
Traffic Analysis: The applicant submitted a traffic analysis with this application summarizing the potential impacts the proposed drive-
through might have on circulation within the site. Based on the analysis, approximately 7% of all pharmacy transactions occurred at the
drive-through kiosk; the maximum vehicular queue observed was 2 vehicles; and the average time to complete adrive-through
transaction was approximately 6 minutes. The analysis also states that the drive-through can accommodate a queue of up to 4 vehicles
(including the distance necessary to not block the pedestrian walkway) without blocking adjacent drive aisles.
Written Testimony: The applicant, Kevin Kincaid, submitted a response in agreement w/the staff report
Staff Recommendation: Approval w/the conditions listed in Exhibit B of the staff report.
