Even though the property is zoned LC, the property would be restricted to uses permitted by right in the Neighborhood Retail (“NR”) district as follows: single-family; duplex; multi-family; accessory apartment; assisted living; church; day care, limited and general; library; utility, minor; automated teller machine; bed and breakfast inn; medical service; office, general; parking area, commercial; agriculture; personal care service; personal improvement service and a restaurant that exceeds 2,000 square feet. No sound amplification systems for projecting music or human voice shall be permitted on the property. No menu or order boards are permitted. Drive-through service is permitted but is restricted to a pick-up window only. The applicant proposes to allow a sound amplification systems for projecting the human voice and an outdoor menu board, which is prohibited in PO #134, thus the proposed amendment.

RECOMMENDATION: There has been no change to the development pattern in the area located east of the Hillside – Central Avenues intersection since the 2012 zoning case, ZON2012-00014. The proposed amendment disrupts that development pattern by proposing a more intense commercial use into an established and well maintained single-family residential neighborhoods. Based upon information available prior to the public hearings, planning staff recommends that the request for the amendment that would allow a restaurant with an order board and a sound amplification system for projecting the human voice allowing drive through service be DENIED based on 5 findings. However, if the MAPC finds the proposed amendment to allow a sound amplification systems for projecting the human voice and an outdoor menu board for a drive-through restaurant appropriate they must provide findings to support the amendment. 9.
