Home My WebLink AboutPermit L98-0006 - TACO TIME RESTAURANT - SPECIAL PERMISSIONL98 -0006 TACO TIME SPECIAL PERMISSION 6820 So. 180t" St. CANCELLED MEMO TO: Laurie Anderson FROM: Deb Ritter DATE: March 9, 1998 RE: Refund L98 -0006 Special Permission Sign Application S98 -005 Freestanding Wall Sign Permit Taco Time at 6820 South 180th St. Bruce Bryant (agent for Taco Time) submitted an application for a Special Permission Sign ($200) as well as the associated freestanding wall sign application ($50). These applications pertained to a menu board for the proposed Taco Time restaurant on South 180th. DCD has reviewed this file and issued a new code interpretation. As the result of the new interpretation, we will not require a Special Permission Sign permit or Freestanding Sign permit for menu boards as they are now considered internal information signs. Per TMC 19.22, internal information signs do not require permits. For this reason, we will refund the above- referenced $250 to Taco Time. I have attached a copy of the receipts for your reference. Please make a check payable to BRUCE BRYANT in this amount at your earliest convenience and return to my attention in Planning. If you should have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at extension 1663. c6,6 z i Q: 1.1J U0 co w =` w 0; u_< CDd. Z Z �,.

Rants, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director STAFF REPORT TO THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT File Number: L98 -0006 Applicant: Bruce Bryant (on behalf of Taco Time) Request: Approval for a freestanding internal information sign with a single face area of 40 square feet and height of 6.5 feet. Location: 6820 South 180th St., Tukwila 98188 Comprehensive Plan Designation: TUC Zoning District: TUC SEPA: No determination required STAFF: Deborah Ritter ATTACHMENTS: A. Site Plan with sign diagram FINDINGS Vicinity /Site Information The applicant requests approval of a Special Permission sign allowing the placement of a 5' x 8' menu board at the drive - through lane of the restaurant. This menu board is single faced and is oriented to the drivers stacked in the drive - through lane. Decision Criteria The property is located in the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) District. Under TMC 18.28.020(42)(a), drive - through restaurants are a permitted use in this zone. Restaurants with a drive - through component, by their nature, require the presence of menu boards. These boards are single faced and are oriented only to the cars stacked in the drive - through lane. TMC 19.08.120 defines "Internal Information Sign" as a sign which "gives directional information or identifies specific use areas and which is necessary to maintain the orderly internal use of the premises .. " 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • (206) 431-3670 • Fax (206) 431-3665 L98 -0006 Application for a Special Permission Sign Taco Time Page 2 Menu boards give drivers the opportunity to review menu options prior to placing an order at the drive- through window. This increases the efficiency and orderly traffic flow through the premises. Per TMC 19.22.040, freestanding internal information signs are restricted to 5 feet in height and a sign face of 4 square feet. Additionally, TMC 19.22.020 prohibits the advertisement of goods available. The function of a menu board requires a greater height limit as well as more surface area than that allowed by Tukwila Municipal Code. For this reason, the applicant requests a waiver of these two provisions and the granting of a Special Permission Sign Permit. CONCLUSIONS 1. Drive- through restaurants are a permitted use in this location. 2. Menu boards are associated with and necessary for the operation of drive - through windows. Menu boards increase the efficiency and orderly traffic flow through the premises of a drive- through restaurant. The sign placement will not contribute to a cluttered, confusing or unsafe condition on the site. The proposed menu board should be considered to be an Internal Information Sign as this most closely resembles its intended use. The proposed menu board requires a waiver of the size limitations of TMC 19.22.040 as well as the advertising restrictions of TMC 19.22.020. DECISION The request, as presented in the Attachment to this report, is hereby approved.
