City of <br /> Elk - Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Planning Commission 5.3 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Planning Items October 28, 2014 Zack Carlton, Planner I <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Ordinance Amendment Reducing Required Vehicle Jeremy Barnhart,Deputy Director CODD <br /> Stacking Space for Bank Drive-Through Lanes Reviewed by <br /> Public Hearing, Case No. OA 14-04 <br /> Action Requested <br /> Recommend,by motion, approval of the ordinance amendment to reduce the amount of vehicle stacking <br /> space required for drive-through lanes. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> City ordinance outlines the required parking for a number of uses within the city. Minimum parking <br /> requirements are established to ensure on-site parking areas are of sufficient size to provide parking for <br /> patrons, customers, suppliers,visitors and employees on premises for each use. <br /> The required number of stalls is linked to the expected number of patrons,which can change with market <br /> demands. The current ordinance requires banks to provide one space per 200 square feet of floor area <br /> and space to stack five vehicles per drive-through lane. With the increased use of online banking and <br /> direct deposit the need to accommodate five vehicles per drive-through lane is becoming less of a need. <br /> Staff proposes reducing the required stacking space from five vehicles to two. This will provide bank uses <br /> with more flexibility when evaluating new locations or remodeling existing ones. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance Amendment <br /> P a w E A E U s r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
