Chapter 17C.325 Drive-through Facilities

Section 17C.325.010 Purpose

The standards of this chapter are intended to allow for drive-through facilities by reducing the negative impacts they may create. Of special concern are noise from idling cars and voice amplification equipment, lighting and queued traffic interfering with on-site and off-site traffic and pedestrian flow. The specific purposes of this chapter are to:

  1. reduce noise, lighting and visual impacts on abutting uses, particularly residential uses;
     
  2. promote safer and more efficient on-site vehicular and pedestrian circulation;
     
  3. minimize conflicts between queued vehicles and traffic on adjacent streets.
