DATE: April 23, 1980
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Brian Milich, Planning Department
SUBJECT: SDP 77-l(C)/CUP-177; LA JOLLA BANK AND TRUST:
DRIVE-THRO BANKING FACILITY
I) PROJECT DESCRIPTION ~.ND BhCKGROUND
The Applicant is proposing an amendment to a previously
approved site development, in addition to a conditional
use permit, for a 3 lane drive-thru banking facility.
The site is located on the southeast corner of Dove Lane
and El Camino Real. The bank will be part of a larger
commercial development which is presently under con-
struction (West Bluff Plaza).
On June 22, 1977, the Planning Commission approved a site
development plan for the commercial center (SDP 77-1).
As part of an amendment to the site development plan, the
Commission approved a drive-thru banking facility on the
subject site (SDP 77-lB). However, the amendment, as it
relates to the bank facility, has expired since building
permits were not issued within the year following approval.
In addition to requiring a new site development plan, the
Applicant was also required to apply for a conditional use
permit since the city's code was amended to require con-
titional use permits for all drive-thru facilities.
II) ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Has the drive-thru facility been adequately designed
to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation?
2) Is the general building and parking design consis-
tent with the overall development of the shopping
center?
CD
Discussion
The proposed banking facility would be 1,500 sq.ft.
larger than the drive-thru bank previously approved
on this site (7,000 sq.ft. vs. 5,500 sq.ft.). Spe-
cifically, the proposed bank would have a 5,280 sq.ft.
first floor and a 1,720 sq.ft. mezzanine. The maximum
height of the structure would be 34 ft.
In addition to a larger building, the applicant is
proposing a total of three drive-thru lanes. The
previously approved banking facility was limited to
one drive-thru lane with an "escape lane". Based on
a thorough review of the project, it is apparent that
the design of the drive-thru lanes would create several
traffic problems.
Specifically, since the width of both the entrance and
exit of the drive-thru facility permits only two lanes
of traffic, the addition of a third lane (the eastern
most lane) creates potential traffic conflicts as
vehicles maneuver into and out of this third lane. As
vehicles stack at both the entrance and exit to the
drive-thru facility, the third lane would be frequently
blocked, and therefore of marginal utility.
A potentially more important problem created by the
drive-thru design is the lack of room for vehicles leav-
ing the third lane to make a 180° u-turn. Vehicles exiting
the third lane would not be able to make a 180° turn
back into the commercial center since such vehicles
lack the proper angle, and the traffic island adjacent
to this lane does not provide the necessary radius, to
permit such a movement.
Based on these concerns, a condition has been added to
the project that requires the deletion of the third
lane and the widening of the traffic island. Such a
redesign would provide safer and more efficient traffic
circulation into and out of the drive-thru facility.
Two lanes would be adequate to accommodate drive-thru
traffic in the majority of cases.
In order to accommodate a larger bank on the site, the
Applicant is proposing to modify the parking area
directly south of the bank (see Exhibit "B", 2/11/80).
A total of four parking spaces would be eliminated from
this area. However, even with this modification there
would still be an excess of 19 parking spaces, above the
city's requirements, available to serve both the bank and
the other commercial uses in the shopping center.
-2-
The proposed bank building would observe a minimum 20
. ft. setback along both El Camino Real and Dove Lane.
This is consistent with other development approved
along El Camino Real. Further, the design and scale
of the structure would be consistent with the spanish
theme established in this area. As conditioned, the
project provides a necessary service in this area of
the city, in addition to setting a positive precedent
for future development city wide.
III) RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 1626, approving CUP-177 and adopt Reso-
lution No. 1627, approving SDP 77-l(C), based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
