Property to the north and east is also zoned C-2 and D and developed with a variety of commercial uses. Property to the.south and west bordering the subject site consists of Atcheson, Topeka & SOn to Fe Railwoy right-of-way track. ; This application has been filed on part of a triangular plot of land under one ownership bounded by the A, T & SF Railway, Third Avenue and Huntington Drive. The westerly 135 ft. .9 in. of the Huntington Drive frontage isthe subject of this application. No changes are propased for the remaining 65 ft. along Huntington Drive presently developed with a used car lot. PROPO SED DEVELOPMENT Improvements proposed consist of a mansard roof treatment of the existing structures and construction of a shode canopy 15'x 77' as illustrated on the attached drawings. Other improvements proposed consist of 2 planting areas totaling 116 sq. Ft. and a freestanding sign 24 ft. in height and 142 sq. ft. in area. COMPLIANCE WITH THE DRIVE-IN AND C-2 ZONING REGULATIONS Existing development on this property does not comply'with a II of the zon ing regulations and' the proposed improvements do not correct all of the deFiciencies. The Following is a summary of elements of the proposal which do not comply with zoning regulations. Park ing Nine parking spaces and one loading zone is required. Eight spaces are indicated on the plan ond no loading space is provided. Drive-in facilities require provision for employee parking. None is indicated. ~_ r s..:u- /1 . )- I /. . . . , . . . June 10, 1969 C.U.P.-69-7 Page Twa Landscaping Five ft. wide required planters between the street and parking and drive areos are not indicated. Three faot wide planter areas along the interiar property lines ta a distance equal to the building 'setbock are not provided For. Three percent (3%) interior parking lat landscoping is not provided for. Thirty sq. ft. of required planting to be,located along"the building facade fronting the street is nat indicated. Lot Area and General Regulotions The drive-in restaurant Facility is located on an area containing 9,548 sq. ft. Ten thousand sq. ft. is required, Utilities are not provided to be installed underground. Outside starage is not screened by a mosonry wall.. . , Screening of restroom doors not indicoted. Lighting stondords exceed the 15 ft. maximum requirement. ANALYSIS As presented this application would provide For a general iinprove~ent ta part of a lot used for a drive-in restaurant. With the exception tb the oddit,ion of two planters and a sign improvements 'proposed are for the building. Although the applicant is handicapped in providing required landscoping alo.ng the street frontage due ta the placement of existing buildin'gs little has been done to c9rrect other plan deficiencies. In the opinion of the staff, with some changes in the circulation and lot area provided for the use all other requirements could be complied with. In anolyzing the circulation pattern it could be said that it would be desirable to have additional standing space for waiting automobiles but palice record~ and observotions do not indicate a porti<;ular troHic hozard. Since the Full lot includes all the property easterly to Third Avenue, improvements proposed would bring the entire property under the concurrent improvement regulations requiring standard street improvements to 011 street ond sidewalks bordering the property. This part of the report is covered by the recommendation made by the Department of Public Works. It can be a matter of some latitude os ta whether the Planning Commission wants to consider all site improvements ind/uding the used car lat. In the opinion of the staff the opplicant has the obility ta conform to all drive-in businesses and C-2 regulotionsexcept the landscape provisions. If the opplicant submits revised pions complying with these requirements this development could be evaluated substantiolly complying with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. . . . .' '. .
