a minimal number of parking spaces (3) for the ATM; and answered questions from the f
Commission.
Arin D. Resnicke, Architect AIA for Chase Bank, stated it is in the best interest to have an
ATM facility; ATM's are used for safety purposes so the client can stay in their vehicle
during early mornings or late nights to conduct business; addressed the vehicles idling at
the ATM; and answered questions from the Commission.
Commissioner Barneich asked why the drive-through for the ATM was not included in the
original application and stated there is a walk up ATM. Commissioner Keen stated he
would have appreciated the drive-through was applied for in the original application and
stated his concern about other potential ATM's being proposed in the future.
In answer to Commissioner Keen's question on limiting approval to one drive-through ATM,
Mr. Foster stated that other drive through projects would be required to go through the
same process as Chase Bank and other projects may not have the space or design area.
Community Development Director McClish indicated projects would come before the
Commission on a case by case basis and the findings would need to be met or there would
need to be a Code Amendment if the Commission did not want to allow future drive-through
ATM services.
Commissioners additional comments included the following: drive-through should be
located with the business; suggested to look at definition for drive-throughs; does not want
to see other drive-throughs; likes the design of the entrance but does not like traffic kicked
back into the parking lot; does not feel the drive-through is imperative to Chase's business;
do not like to design everything around the vehicle; would have to look at projects with a
drive-through case by case; does not want to set a precedent for drive-throughs; and does
not see a problem with parking for the businesses.
Commissioner Keen made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Martin to approve
Amended Conditional Use Permit 11-001; located at 900 Rancho Parkway; applied for by
