.. a. ��pg; The subject property is bordered on the north and east by residentially zoned properties. The subject property is unique in the sense that while it may be located immediately adjacent to property that is zoned residential, the nearest actual home or residence to the east is located ap�:-oximately 120 feet away and the nearest home to the north is approximately 180 feet away. Those ureas of the residentially zoned properties that abut the subject site are developcd with water detention and drainage fncilities or cla.sified as native growth protective areas and could not be developed. The intent of the setback requirements for drive-up windows and vehicle holding lartcs as set forth in the zoning code is to provide some distance to reduce the potential noise and light glare impacts to nearby residences. b. Concluslons: The residentially zoned property which borders the subject site on the north and east property lines was developed as u Planned Residential Development (PRD). The detention and drainage facilities werc located near a nntive growth area nt the southcm and east edge of the PRD plat which is adjacent to the com�icrcial zones and tl�e subject property. The location of drainage features and native growth areas for the PRD plat ndjacent to the subject site results in the nearest residence being mucli furlher away fmm the proposed drive-up window and vehicle holding lane than the standard zoning code setback would achieve. Criterion No. 2: That the vnriance will not be materinlly detrimental to the property in the urea of the subject property or to the City as u whole. n. �1; No advcrse commcnts have bcen reccived on the proposal. b. Conclusions: Thc proposed variance is not anticipated to have any negative impact to surrounding propertics or the City. Criterion No. 3: Thal lhe v�ri.mcc ��ill onh grant �hc suhjcct property thc samc gcncral righ�s enjoyed by othcr property in thc same arca and tone as Ihc subject property. n. Fjp�(pp�y: The proposed variance would allow the applicant to havc drive-up service on both sides of the building rather than one sidc only. Most espresso businesses have two ective drive-up windows. b. Concluslons: There are other drive-thru businesses in the City tliat have been pertnitted to huve the vehicle holding lane less than 100 feet from reside�etinlly zoned properties. These businesses have bcen typically bcen restaurants, however the drive-up activity is similar and therefore regulated Ihe same.
