The proposed Taco Bell would demolish all existing site improvements including removal of the approximately 1,737-square-foot, single-story, vacant oil changing facility, all paved parking spaces, landscaping and three existing trees within the interior of "Pad B." "Pad B" would be redeveloped with an approximately 1,649-square-foot drive-through restaurant and related site improvements (see Figures 2 and 3). The applicant has indicated the rationale for the proposed amendment is to allow for the replacement of the existing, ageing oil change facility with a new, more viable drive-through restaurant use. The applicant currently operates a Taco Bell restaurant at 4001 Santa Rita Road, which is an in-line "storefront" location at Rose Pavilion Phase II; the new restaurant would replace this existing facility. According to the applicant, a drive-through is a necessary component of their and Taco Bell's business model, and essential to support their investment to redevelop the project site. Site Layout, Circulation, Parking, and Access The restaurant would be located in the northwestern corner of "Pad B," approximately 110 feet from Rosewood Drive and approximately 400 feet from Santa Rita Road. The main (pedestrian) entrance of the restaurant would be on its south side, facing CVS, while the drive- through queueing lane, menu board, ordering speaker and pick-up window would generally be on the north side, facing the adjacent tire repair shop and other nearby commercial uses. The drive-through queueing lane entrance, menu board and ordering speaker would be approximately 60 to 90 feet from Rosewood Drive, approximately 400 feet from Santa Rita Road and 490 feet from the closest residential uses. The drive-through queueing lane would accommodate approximately seven vehicles between the entrance and the pick-up window. An outdoor dining area is proposed on the west side of the restaurant, adjacent to the main arterial drive aisle for the shopping center. 21 on-site parking spaces would be provided, 17 of which would be located on the south side of the restaurant and four (parallel orientation) on the north side of the restaurant. All parking spaces would be accessible from standard, double- or single-loaded approximately 25-foot-wide drive aisles. A new trash enclosure would be located at the northeast corner of the building, approximately 75 feet from Rosewood Drive. Access to "Pad B" would be via any of the four existing shopping center driveways described above; however, it is anticipated most vehicles would use the driveway immediately adjacent to the south side of "Pad B." Landscape areas would be provided along the perimeters, in the front and rear of the restaurant and within the proposed parking areas of "Pad B." Figures 2 and 3 show the proposed site plan within the context of the Rose Pavilion Shopping Center Phase III and the enlarged site plan.
