the drive-thru. After understanding that the proposed layout is intended to safeguard pedestrians within the parking area to the maximum extent possible, the Planning Commission was satisfied and did not believe additional information/exhibits were needed. 3. Approve the Site Plan as submitted. The COR TWO plat was designed to act more as a campus -like setting, with the buildings facing the interior of the site, along the private drive. Also, the intent of the COR-2b Sub -District was to allow more traditional, auto -oriented uses, which seems more appropriate now with the realigned Sunwood Drive. This site is now bounded by six (6) lanes of roadway to the north and six (6) lanes of roadway to the west, which diminishes the pedestrian 'feel' somewhat. The Planning Commission initially questioned the building/drive-thru layout related to the Design Framework, but as previously noted, after understanding that this layout was a result of reduced conflict points between pedestrians and drive-thru traffic, the Planning Commission was satisfied with the current configuration. Furthermore, the Planning Commission recommended that twenty-four (24) hour drive-thrus be permitted outright in the COR-2b Sub -District and directed City Staff to draft an ordinance amendment to reflect this. 4. Approve the Site Plan but require a Conditional Use Permit for twenty-four (24) hour operation of electronic speaker devices associated with the drive-thru. As with alternative #3, this option requires an ordinance amendment to allow the use of electronic speaker devices outside the hours of 7:OOam and lOpm. The Planning Commission did not believe this scenario made much sense considering that the use is in a primarily commercial Sub -District and would not have negative impacts on surrounding commercial uses. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended that the Site Plan be approved as proposed (including twenty-four [24] hour operation of electronic speaker devices associated with the drive-thru), contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated December 28, 2012. Funding Source: All cost associated with processing the application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Council Action: Motion to adopt findings of fact favorable to the applicant and to approve the proposed site plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated December 28, 2012, revised January 18, 2013, and upon review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
