Exhibit A Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 85033 Applicant: Zantigo Mexican Restaurants Location: 5532 Brooklyn Blvd. Request: Site and Building Plan/Special Use Permit The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to con- struct a Zantigo Restaurant with drive -up window at the site of the existing Nankin Express at 5532 Brooklyn Boulevard. The existing restaurant is to be demolished and a new building built. The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by the Green Mill restaurant, on the east by a private service road, on the south by the Fifties Grill restaurant, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. Convenience food restaurants and restaurants with drive -up windows are special uses in the C2 zoning district which are not permitted to abut R1, R2, or R3 zoned property. Although this site abuts R1 zoned property across Brooklyn Boulevard, the City has not con- sidered this abutment to apply when a frontage road or limited access road separates the developments. Access to the site is to be from the service road, as in the past. The northerly access is to be an exit only. Stacking for the drive -up lane is proposed on the west and south sides of the building. The lane is 10' wide, separated from the regular driving lanes by a 3' wide median. Parking on the north and west sides of the site is 90°. On the south side, it is 450 angle parking. There are two driving lanes leading to the southerly exit, one from the drive -up window and one from the parking area. There is the possibility of conflict at this exit point if a car in the southerly lane turns north while a car in the northerly lane turns south. Because of the location of the proposed building, there is little that can be done to avoid this conflict. To shorten the median to allow more room for drive -up customers to weave to the right would open up the possibility of cars backing into the drive -up lane. Moving the building westward would result in fewer parking spaces than required because of shifting to angled spaces. Lastly, narrowing the throat of the exit would probably lead to more conflicts than the proposed arrangement. Therefore, the proposed arrange- ment does appear to be the best under circumstances. The site plan provides for 44 parking spaces, enough for 82 seats and 6 employees at a ratio of 1 per two of each. The plan provides a row of nine stalls adjacent to the building with one being a handicapped stall. All other stalls are on the perimeter. The site is to drain out to the service drive as it does at present. All parking and driving areas are to be bounded by B612 curb and gutter. An additional island is recommended, however, along the south side of the lot where the stalls change from 900 to 450. Berming is indicated in the greenstrip adjacent to Brooklyn Boulevard. The landscape plan calls for two Red Maples and three Colorado Green Spruce in the Brooklyn Boulevard greenstrip. Two Snow Crabs are indicated in the northwest corner of the site. The plan also calls for generous use of Green Barberry Jackman Potentilla and Gold Coast Junipers in the large parking delineators. Decorative rock is proposed along the north and south edges of the site. The applicant feels that fronts of cars hanging over this small green area will make grass nonviable. This may be an accurate assessment, but it has been a long-standing policy to require grass in these interior lot line greenstrips. The policy was reaffirmed during review of the Ramada Hotel site plans. Staff, therefore, recommend that the plans be altered to provide grass unless the Commission is willing to recommend a change in policy to allow either sod or rock mulch. 10-10-85 -1- Application No. 85033 continued The building exterior is to be stucco with dark bronze anodized aluminum windows. Treated cedar boards, 8' wide, are to be placed above and below the windows and above the doorways. The front portion of the building is to have a tile roof, the back a flat roof. While this may be somewhat of a false facade, it is not unlike the Sal- vation Army building and also reflects two valid expressions of Spanish-American architecture. In general, we feel the plans are in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 10. The plans shall be modified prior to consideration by the City Council to provide the following: a) A curbed and landscaped delineator between 90' and 45' stalls on the south side of the parking lot. b) Indication of sod rather than rock mulch in the interior side yard greenstrips. 11. On -site traffic control signery shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 12. A copy of an as -built utility survey shall be submitted to the Engineer- ing Department prior to release of the performance guarantee. 10-10-85 -2- ZANTIGO TWO PEDESTAL SIGN. i r N /64 - r
