Commissioner Balch: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Allen: I have another question and it's thinking about the Starbucks study they did at Safeway. What you pointed out is that shopping center has two Starbucks; one's in the store in Safeway and one's the drive -thru. So therefore when people come to visit Starbucks there's two choices they have so the drive -thru may not be getting the maximum capacity as if there was just one. So, do we have data or could we get data on what some other Starbucks stand -alone drive - thru's that might be around a busy freeway corridor? Commissioner Nagler: Well, specifically the Starbucks being put outside of..... Commissioner Allen: The Rose Pavilion? Commissioner Nagler: Yes. Commissioner Allen: Is that operational yet? Weinstein: It's not operational yet. There is one also in the Vintage project at Bernal and Stanley which I think is a drive -thru? Commissioner Allen: That's not necessarily freeway. Weinstein: That's not freeway, no. That's a good point. Commissioner Nagler: Good question. What was the queue allowed in the Rose Pavilion one? Weinstein: I want to say it was 12 cars. Commissioner Balch: But that queue could go into the parking lot and not spill onto the street. Commissioner Allen: So it's less risk. There's a buffer zone. Commissioner Balch: That's right and we talked about that because we were talking about the exiting. The thing with that is that it's all drive. If you drove around it and exit almost back the same way you came in. Commissioner Brown: Nancy, I was just going to add that there is a stand -alone Starbucks within '/4 mile of this location right by the Home Depot across from the FedEx/Kinkos. Commissioner Allen: Right, but it's still different in terms of where some of these... like Hopyard. Anyway, we'll get to that later. Commissioner Brown: This is further apart than the one I was talking about but it's close. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 28, 2016 Page 15 of 32
