- Do not locate within 20 feet of a street and not oriented to a street corner. Walk up only tellers
and kiosks may be oriented to a street or placed adjacent to a street corner.
- No more than one drive-through shall be permitted for a distance of 400 hundred linear feet
along the same block face (same side of the street).
- Drive-through lanes shall be separated from the sidewalk by a planting strip at least 5 feet in
width.
- Drive-through lanes shall not restrict pedestrian access between the sidewalk and on-site
buildings. Where pedestrian routes cross drive through lanes a crosswalk that is raised or
features a change in texture and/or other treatment must be utilized to enhance the safety and
visual appearance of the pedestrian crossing.
- Drive-through lanes visible from internal access roads and customer parking lots shall provide a
planting strip at least 5 feet in width between the drive-through lane and any sidewalk or other
vehicular access route.
- Drive-through lanes shall not be located in the area between a building and a public street and
the drive-through window shall not face a public street.
- A 100 foot separation distance from all parts of the drive-through facility, including stacking
lanes,to the edge of the lot line of any residential use or zone where residential uses are
permitted.
- Locate building close to or at the street to define and support the street edge and align new
buildings with the front facades of existing buildings.
- Drive-through sites and buildings should be designed to:
o Locate the main entrance door directly off the public sidewalk.
o Locate the main entrance doo at the corner or on the more major street,on a corner
lot.
o Locate uses that support the street along the public sidewalk(outdoor seating).
o Make walls along the street face and visible from the street,transparent with windows,
door and other forms of transparent building materials to maximize views in and out of
the building and the relationship between interior and exterior to support and animate
the public street and sidewalk.
- Do not locate stacking lanes or driveways between the building and the street.
- Locate stacking lanes and driveways out of view of the public street and/or sidewalk, at the rear
and/or flank of the building.
- Provide a minimum of 10 stacking spaces on site for restaurant and food sales.
- Provide a minimum of 4 stacking spaces on site for banking, pharmacies and similar non-food
related uses.
- Provide stacking spaces which are 11.5 feet in width and 21 feet in length.
- Multiple windows servicing a single stacking lane should be considered to reduce idling.
- Multiple stacking lanes for a single user are discouraged.
1
- Provide sufficient signage where necessary to indicate direction of vehicular travel, stop signs
and no entrance areas.
- Provide vehicular site access from the side or less major street.
- Do not locate parking or vehicular site exits or entrances between the building and the street.
- Provide parking adjacent to the secondary entrance doors to the facility such that it is not
necessary for pedestrians who arrive by car to cross driveways or stacking lanes to enter the
interior of the building.
- Provide and clearly demarcate separate,safe pedestrian circulation routes in conjunction with
vehicular circulation for the drive-through facility and larger site using techniques such as raised
pedestrian crossings,change in paving, bollards and landscaping to separate them from stacking
lanes and driveways.
- Provide pedestrian circulation routes that are a minimum of 5 feet wide and barrier free.
- Provide continuous soft landscaped areas no less than 8 feet in width,to define stacking lanes.
- Maintain site lines from stacked cars to pedestrian crossings by providing low soft landscaping in
such areas.
- Stacking lanes should be located away from residential properties.
- Site layout shall provide clear and distinct separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
- Mid-block sites are preferred for drive-through facilities.
- Located at mid-block locations within larger developments away from corners and intersections.
- Windows shall be located at side and/or rear facing the internal area of larger developments.
- Where a drive-through facility abuts a residential use,the intercom order station should be
located as far away as possible from the residential property line. Order station speakers shall
be shielded and directed away from residential areas.
- Intercom order stations should be located away from the main site entrance and initial turning
movements.
- Drive-through menu boards and other information displays shall be located near the intercom
order stations.
- Order stations should be situated well into the stacking lanes where possible.
- Entrances and exists for vehicles shall be located as far from corner intersections as possible to
minimize disruption of street traffic flow.
- Where two drive-through facilities are located on the same site or adjacent to each other,
stacking lanes shall be separated.
- Stacking lanes and their circulation could include escapee lanes at logical and functional
locations.
- Stacking lanes shall not conflict with access to parking areas, driveways,service or loading areas.
The use of soft and hard landscaping, decorative pavement, painted lines, strips or low walls not
higher than 3.5 feet to delineate and separate stacking lanes from these areas is encouraged.
- Locate the start point to the stacking lane at the rear of the site so that queued vehicles do not
block traffic along the public streets or the movement of other vehicles on site.
- Do not locate stacking lane between the building and the public street.
- Separate stacking lanes from parking areas and driveways using 5 foot wide landscaped islands.
- Provide views and clear sightlines between the site and surrounding uses to ensure sufficient
safety and comfort levels.
2
- Drive-through lanes shall be a minimum of 12 feet in width. The lane shall be independent of
any onsite parking, parking maneuvering areas, public streets, alleys or traffic ways.
- Drive-through aisles shall have a minimum width of 10 feet and 12 feet at curves.
- Each drive-through entrance/exit shall be at least fifty feet from any intersection of public
streets measured at the closest intersecting curbs, and at least 25 feet from entrances on
adjacent property.
