Mayor Sanger announced that at the request of the applicant the Planned Unit Development and Rezoning Public Hearing has been postponed. A PUBLIC HEARING AND A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 8321 MARYLAND AVENUE, REGIONS BANK
Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by R. Mark Naylor, agent on behalf of Regions Bank, owner, for the installation/operation of a remote drive-through facility on the subject site. Financial institutions and retail establishments are permitted uses in this zoning district; however, drive-through facilities are conditionally permitted uses and are subject to the design guidelines. In 2013, a similar project was proposed by 5/3 Bank and was approved; 5/3 Bank never secured permits and sold the property to Regions Bank.
Financial institutions and retail establishments are permitted uses in this zoning district; however, drive-through facilities are conditionally permitted uses and are subject to the design guidelines. In 2013, a similar project was proposed by 5/3 Bank and was approved; 5/3 Bank never secured permits and sold the property to Regions Bank. This proposed drive-through facility is part of a larger development that includes a freestanding bank at the southwest quadrant of the site and a freestanding retail building at the southeast quadrant of the site. The drive-through facility is located along the northern portion of the property and will be screened from the residential properties to the north by an 8-foot in height screen wall to be located south of the 5-foot wide utility easement and a 12-foot wide landscaped area that run along the northern property line. The distance between the drive- through facility and the nearest residential structure is 40 feet.

Vehicles will enter the drive-through via a one-way driveway entrance located in the northeast corner of the parking lot and exit the drive-through at the northwest corner. There are two 9-foot wide drive-through lanes and a 12-foot wide bypass lane running parallel to Maryland Avenue. The drive-through is separated from the site’s parking and drive aisles by a raised curb and landscaped area. Proposed hours of operation for the drive-through are the same as normal banking hours; Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. An ATM will also be located in the drive-through, and will be accessible at all times. A traffic study was conducted in 2013 for the original 5/3 Bank proposal. A new study was not required for potential traffic impacts of this project due to the similarity between the two proposals. The traffic study analyzed potential traffic impacts of the proposed development of the site (including the bank, drive-though, and retail building). According to the study, existing traffic operations do not appear to be problematic at the intersections in the study area. The proposed access point for the drive-through is located deep in the lot, away from the intersection with Maryland Avenue. Stacking lanes are straight with minimal curves, and provide an escape/bypass lane.
