Memorandum
To: Planning
From: Glenn Brooks, County Engineer
Date: 10 Mar 2010
Subject: BoJangles (SP201400004)
The special use permit for a drive - through lane at a BoJangles restaurant in the shopping center on Pantops
has been reviewed.
This proposal is for a drive - through design which wraps around the building. It allows bypass and has the
required stacking (from Zoning Ordinance section 4.12.6). It does not have the minimum lane width
required by 4.12.17c, which is 12 feet. It proposes 10.5 feet. For this reason, this plan cannot be
recommended for approval.
The provision of the ordinance not to impede required parking, pedestrian or vehicular access aisles has
been addressed by a one -way circulation pattern which reduces the aisle width. The one -way circulation
pattern comes with some inconveniences. Normally, a 20 -24 foot aisle is provided with a two -way
circulation pattern, allowing more freedom of movement and use of both entrances. The proposed pattern
will require limiting the entrances to an egress only and ingress only. It will further force pedestrians to
weave through the drive - through queue from most parking areas.
