N. Chesapeake, VA 23323 RE: SP 2013 -20: Chick -fil -A Drive -thru ( Pantops) Dear Mr. Dodd: Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for the above - referenced application for a drive -thru window. We have a number of comments on your proposal. Some of the comments identify issues that will need to be addressed with your future site plan submittal, but the bypass lane issue is one that would need to be addressed with a revised plan before we can recommend approval of the Special Use Permit. Of the comments that will require resolution with the site plan, the closing of N. Pantops Drive (See the VDOT and Zoning comments) is particularly significant. We recommend that you continue to pursue this issue now (don't wait until you begin the site plan process) to better ensure a satisfactory and timely solution. Our comments are listed below. Planning Comments on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report. Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan are provided here: The Pantops Master Plan shows this area as urban mixed use in Neighborhood 3. This designation includes retail, commercial service, office, and a mix of residential types (6.01 -34 units /acre). The proposed use is similar in type and scale to the designated uses and to other such established uses in the immediate area. Although the scope of a drive -thru request is somewhat limited for full consideration of Neighborhood Model principles, the proposal does provide interconnected sidewalks and streets, and relegated parking. Buildings of human scale have been addressed by the Architectural Review Board in their preliminary review of this proposal and the ARB will continue to address this issue during site plan review. Zonine The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Ron Higgins: 1. The proposed parking of 63 spaces is sufficient at the 1 space /1,300 Sq Ft. standard for restaurants. 2. The applicant is requesting a drive -in facility that would accommodate 20 spaces in the que aisle(s) with no bypass aisle. The County Engineer will have to determine whether the bypass aisle is deemed necessary (Sec 4.12.17 c. 2. (a)) and the BOS will have to approve the modification if deemed necessary. 3. While the county code requires a minimum of five (5) stacking spaces in drive - through lanes and no maximum, they are providing twenty (20). Their own data indicates an average of six (6) stacking spaces needed. Therefore, it is recommended that they eliminate one of the split stacking lanes in order to accommodate the bypass lane and avoid the excessive "storage" of vehicles. 4. The proposal to construct the "private road" out to align with State Farm Boulevard poses a distance issue between the new road and the private road to the immediate West. The Luxor Commercial rezoning (ZMA200400012) proffers a closing of that road to the West "at such time as a public road interconnection is made between the Route 250 /State Farm Boulevard (Route 1117) intersection and the two lane road... "(the road to the West). While the distance issue is still there even if the new connection is private, it is still a potential safety concern. We are researching the Luxor proffers further to see if that closure is actually triggered by the new road connection. Engineering and Water Resources The following comments related to engineering and water resources have been provided by Michelle Roberge: Comments are based on plan submitted on Oct 21,2013. 1) A bypass lane is required due to our ordinance, but here are some of my reasons as to why it is a good concept. The actual entrance and exit is a one lane travelway. A bypass lane can provide an additional lane for unforseen contingencies: drivers' changing their minds, for emergency purposes, a car breaks down, etc. Furthermore, the speaker post is 145' from the entrance which allows up to 12 cars to queue before placing an order. There is no space to bypass if the reasons previously mentioned arise. The bypass lane can be achieved by shifting the site to the north and converting the lane furthest to the south to a bypass lane. I do not see a good justification for the removal of the bypass as it is a benefit for safety and better manueverablity onsite. 2) The NW entrance is too close to N. Pantops Drive. Please show 50' spacing at a minimum. This is measured between the two curb radii. Another option is to show this entrance off N. Pantops Drive with enough distance from the drive thru lane. Architectural Review Board: The ARB has reviewed the subject request for conformance with the Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines and forwarded a recommendation of "no objection" to the Planning Commission for the drive -thru use. The full text of the ARB's action is copied below. Please note that the ARB's recommendation is based on the appearance of the development as illustrated in the plans they reviewed. Changes to the plan (including those resulting from requirements of other reviewing agencies) could result in revised ARB requirements. The following comments were provided by the ARB at their August 19, 2013 review of the proposal: Regarding , the Special Use Permit, the Board by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning Commission: The ARB has no objection to the drive -thru use given the revised plan presented on 8/19/13 showing two drive- through lanes and no bypass lane. The benefit of this configuration is that the visual impact of the site retaining wall is minimized and a continuous 7' minimum utility -free and easement -free planting area is created between the retaining wall and the EC. Size and quantity of landscaping will likely be required to exceed EC Guideline minimums to mitigate visual impacts of the use and related features of the development. Regarding the Preliminary Site Plan Board made the following comments and suggestions for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. 1. Develop further detailing, consistent with the established design language, at the top of the wall and roof edge. 2. Provide details on the drive -thru canopies, their green- screen end supports, and the plants intended to grow on the green screens. 3. Provide a treatment for the mechanical, meter and service doors to eliminate the "back of building" appearance. 4. Include the equipment visibility note on the site and architectural drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." 5. Provide a dumpster enclosure detail on the plan. 6. Provide the reflectance value of the window glass. Indicate on the drawings where the frosted glass is proposed. Landscaping 7. Provide a complete plant schedule for review. 8. Revise the plant symbols for greater clarity. 9. Provide large shade trees 3' /z" caliper at planting, 35' on center, along the EC frontage, outside of utilities and easements. 10. Provide interspersed ornamental trees along the EC frontage, outside of utilities and easements. 11. Increase the variety of shrubs provided, particularly along the retaining wall. Limit the number of proposed plants for any one species to 25% of the total proposed for that plant type (tree or shrub). 12. Eliminate one of the drive -thru lanes or the bypass lanes to increase planting area. 13. Increase the landscaping to offset the impacts of the size and prominence of the retaining wall. 14. Provide plants and sufficient planting area at the base of the retaining wall in the area east of the proposed building. 15. Plant trees, 2' /z" caliper at planting, at least 40' on center, along the east side of the entrance drive and on the west side of the entrance drive at its north end. Show evidence of grading and planting easements. 16. Ensure that the perimeter parking lot tree spacing and size requirements are met with on -site trees. 17. Add the following note to the landscape plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant." Retaining Walls 18. Revise the site design to significantly reduce the height of the on -site retaining wall and to provide sufficient utility -free planting area to meet the EC Guidelines and to offset negative visual impacts, or terrace the wall and provide trees and shrubs at the base and terraces. 19. Provide plants and sufficient planting area at the base of the retaining wall in the area east of the building. 20. Provide top of wall and bottom of wall elevations for both retaining walls. 21. Provide details and indicate the material and color of the retaining walls and railings and provide samples. Signs 22. Note that separate applications are required for signs and the freestanding sign location can't be approved with the site plan; it can only be approved with the sign application. VDOT Comments provided by Troy Austin from VDOT are attached. ASCA/RW SA The following comments were provided by Alexander Morrison for the ACSA: The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has received and reviewed the plan/document/ project described above. All ACSA comments have been addressed by the applicant. The ACSA hereby approves the plan/document/project described above. The following comments were provided by Victoria Fort for the RWSA: 1. Capacity issues for sewer that may affect this proposal: None Known 2. Requires Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Capacity Certification: Yes X No 3.
