(a) Driveways proposed to service commercial development shall be separated 75 feet or more between driveways. Where driveways are each one-way and each no more than 12 feet wide, the two driveways shall be counted as a single unit. When, because of existing development, it is mathematically impossible to achieve this requirement for a proposed commercial project, the applicant shall attempt to secure an access easement from an adjoining commercial development. If this is impossible to secure (as evidenced by a written denial by both adjoining property owners of the request), the planning director may permit a waiver of this requirement. However, in doing so, any new access driveway shall be located as far as possible from all existing access drives.

(b) Approach lanes for the drive-through facilities shall have the following minimum widths: one lane – 12 feet; two or more lanes – 10 feet per lane.

(c) Minimum linear distance for stacking of automobiles in the drive-through window lanes (measured from the commercial window at the building location):

(d) The minimum distance from the proposed drive-through facility to the right-of-way shall be 40 feet where no turns are required. This distance shall be measured from the drive-through station farthest from the main building. Where turns are required in the exit lane, the minimum distance from any drive-through window to the beginning point of the turn shall be 34 feet. The minimum turning radius shall be 17 feet.

(e) The minimum distance from a drive-through facility to any residential building shall be 25 feet. This distance shall be measured at the narrowest point between the main building, an off-street parking area, or vehicle lanes, whichever is closer.

(f) Alleys or driveways in residential areas adjacent to drive-through facilities shall not be used for circulation of customer traffic. (Ord. 929 Ch. 10(B)(3), 1995).
