Regarding Commissioner Piper's comments, Commissioner Ritter stated that every time he goes to In -N -Out Burger, there are always delivery trucks parked in the lot, so he is a little concerned about the flow of traffic and parking. He added that the stacking at In -N -Out Burger is horrible because it comes right out into the parking lot, and there are probably 10 to 12 cars stacked. He noted that based on Chick- fil -A's rendering, the proposed design would probably hold about 20 or so vehicles, which is a smart way to do it. He added that he liked the idea of having two drive -thru lanes with the little conveyer belt sending the food over. He indicated that he would support staffs recommendation in general with the incorporation of the comments each Commissioner has voiced. Chair O'Connor stated that the Commission needs to discuss and decide what it is that it would want to add to this proposal before sending it on to the Council. Mr. Dolan stated that the Commission needs to decide whether or not it is comfortable crafting conditions. He indicated that it will be a certain amount of time before this goes to Council so staff would have some time before it goes to the Council to work with the applicant on those conditions. He added that the Commission can also ask staff to craft the conditions and then come back to the Commission for its review. Chair O'Connor stated that with respect to the stacking issue, he would usually defer to the Traffic Engineer, but he believes he saw that discussed in the staff report and asked staff if there was a condition to move the ordering point to lengthen the queue or if it was actually just moved. Ms. Soo replied that there is a condition that if the queuing of guests impacts the drive -thru aisle, then the ordering point will be shifted closer to the window. Chair O'Connor inquired why staff would not be more conservative and shift the ordering point now so this does not have to be done twice. Mr. Tassano replied that based on the capacity offered by the two drive -thru lanes, staff believes there will not be an excessive queue. He stated that based on staff's analysis, the configuration of the drive -thru lanes seems to work pretty well, and staff does not see anything that would warrant that the design not be allowed to proceed. Chair O'Connor asked Mr. Tassano to confirm that he is confident there will not be a queuing problem backing up into the parking lot. Mr. Tassano replied that is correct. Mr. Weinstein then made a really quick clarification regarding one of the items discussed by Commissioner Allen that the currently proposed roofing material actually is concrete tile. Commissioner Allen stated that she just noticed that. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 22, 2014 Page 7 of 12
