Summary:
The zoning code currently does not allow drive-through facilities in the B-2 Community Business zoning district. The code further restricts drive-through facilities if they are within 100’ of a residential district, and/or if they are in the Atlantic Boulevard Overlay district.
There are currently very few B-2 properties within the city. Please refer to the attached zoning map for an illustration of the existing B-2 properties. Many of these properties are located in either the AOD or are within 100’ of a residentially zoned area, and therefore, cannot have drive-through facilities. Staff is proposing to allow drive-through services within the B-2 zoning districts. The AOD restrictions and residential distance requirements will still apply. This code change will allow a B-2 zoning district with an existing vacated drive-through to resume services. Given the additional restrictions, this code change will provide a viable business option, while only impacting very few other properties in the city. Those few properties that remain are primarily located along major roadways.

2. Definition
Drive-through service is the provision of products or services to customers who remain in their vehicles, whether through a window or door in a building, a machine in a building or detached structure (e.g., ATM), or via a mechanical device (e.g., a pneumatic tube system). In addition to the pick-up window or door, drive-through service facilities also may include remote menu boards and ordering stations. Use types that commonly have drive-through service include banks or financial institutions, restaurants , specialty eating or drinking establishments, and drug stores or pharmacies.

A use with drive-through service shall comply with the following standards:
a. The drive-through service facilities shall be located at least 100 feet from any residential zoning district.
b. The drive-through service facilities shall be designed in accordance with Section 155.5101.G.8 <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/pompanobeach/latest/pompanofl_zone/0-0-0-38150>, Vehicle Stacking Space.
