12 MPC Staff Report Revised 09/25/17 METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION City of Shreveport Caddo Parish STAFF REPORT CITY OF SHREVEPORT & CADDO PARISH 505 Travis Street, Suite 440 Shreveport LA OCTOBER 4, 2017 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 19 MPC Staff Member: Stephen Jean City Council District: N/A Parish Commission District: N/A CASE NUMBER: C & P-20-17: CODE TEXT AMENDMENTS APPLICANT: METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION OWNER: N/A LOCATION: N/A EXISTING ZONING: N/A REQUEST: Code Text Amendments DESCRIPTION: During the September 12th Shreveport City Council meeting, the Council requested that a zoning text amendment be considered that provided for an alternative for the requirement that financial institutions with drive-through facilities be zoned to at least a C-2 zoning district in order to be considered for approval as a Special Use Permit. Council specifically requested that an amendment be drafted that would allow for the use to be considered in the C-1 zoning district. They were made aware that the MPC prefers for considerations of zoning text amendments to layover for thirty days before action. The City Council requested that the thirty day layover period be waived and that this issue be considered at the October MPC meeting since it effects a pending decision for a zoning case that is currently on their agenda. Historically, financial institutions (banks) have been allowed as a use by right in Buffer Business Districts (B-1) despite the fact that the vast majority of banks in the Shreveport-Caddo market include drive-through facilities. In the UDC, financial institutions are included in the definition for drive-through facility that is regulated as a primary use. Drive-through facilities are allowed only with a Special Use Permit in C-2, C-, C-UV, CMU, HC and I-MU. However, financial institutions are permitted without restriction in virtually all of the commercial zoning districts. This includes C-1 (which is the equivalent to the B-1 district), CBD, E, RMU, AC and I- 1 where drive-through facilities are prohibited. The drive-through facilities associated with financial institutions peak traffic volume occurs primarily at the end of traditional pay periods (up to four times a month) as opposed to high traffic volumes for drive-through facilities associated with restaurants that occur up to three times a day. Additionally, the hours of operation for financial institutions are typically operated during daylight hours in contrast to restaurants and some retail outlets with drive-through facilities that may operate at late night and pre-dawn hours. REMARKS: The proposed approach to allowing the drive-through facility for financial institutions as shown in the attached documents would be the following: Create a new use Financial Institution with Drive-Through Revise the use matrix to allow Financial Institution with Drive-Through as a Special Use in C-1, C, CUV, CMU and IMU Revise the use matrix to allow Financial Institution with Drive-Through as a Permitted The information stated herein is the result of discussion by a staff review team. The Planning Commission and its Members will use all information made available to them in making their decision. A Planning Commission approval is a use approval only. The applicant is still responsible for complying with all other applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements and obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from other departments or agencies. This shall include, but not be limited to the requirements of the Zoning Administrator, building permits, liquor licenses, the parish health unit, and Certificates of Occupancy.

13 MPC Staff Report Revised 09/25/17 METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION City of Shreveport Caddo Parish STAFF REPORT CITY OF SHREVEPORT & CADDO PARISH 505 Travis Street, Suite 440 Shreveport LA Use in C-2, C-3, C-4 and HC. Provide use standards for Financial Institution with Drive-Through Revise the definition for Drive-Through Facilities that recognize the separate use Staff is in favor of all of the amendments except that is our opinion that because banks with drive-through facilities have been traditionally allowed in B-1 (the equivalent to C-1) without the creation of incompatibility issues, it is appropriate for them to be permitted in C-1 in lieu of a Special Use Permit. In addition to the above amendments, language is being revised in the UDC to clarify the actions that can be taken by City Council in regard to MPC recommendations for zoning requests. The code currently indicates that conditions could be added. However, conditions would only apply to Special Use Permits and PUD zoning cases. The UDC also did not provide for an avenue for City Council to send cases back to the MPC for reconsideration. The proposed amendments will address both of these issues. (See Attachments) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: PUBLIC ASSESSMENT: Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments as drafted except that a financial institution with drive-through facility is allowed as a permitted use in the C-1 district. 1 spoke in support; 1 spoke in opposition. MPC S BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Board voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the proposed amendments as drafted with the stipulation that a financial institution with drive-through facility is allowed as a permitted use in the C-1 district. The information stated herein is the result of discussion by a staff review team. The Planning Commission and its Members will use all information made available to them in making their decision. A Planning Commission approval is a use approval only. The applicant is still responsible for complying with all other applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements and obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from other departments or agencies. This shall include, but not be limited to the requirements of the Zoning Administrator, building permits, liquor licenses, the parish health unit, and Certificates of Occupancy.
