ZS-OOI65 - Edwards Stop 'n Save Terri Johnson, Planning Department ACTION: The purpose of this Special Use Permit is to establish a drive-thru for the existing convenience store; and add an additional gas island to the existing service station. The Stop 'n Save in Edwards has been operating for approximately 20 years. LOCATION: Comer of Edwards Village Blvd. and Hwy 6; Edwards 6 06/17/08 FILE NO./PROCESS: PROJECT NAME: LOCATION: OWNER: APPLICANT: REPRESENTATIVE: STAFF PLANNER: ZS-00165; Consolidated Special Use Permit Edwards Stop 'n Save Consolidated Special Use Permit Edwards- "Corner" ofHwy 6 and Edwards Village Blvd. (Parcel 4A, Edwards Village Center) Medskar Partnership, LLC Owner Kathy Schoenfeld Jena Skinner-Markowitz, Terri L. Johnson 1. PROJECT DESCRIYfION A. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The primary purpose of this application is to add a drive-thru window to the existing convenience store at the Stop 'n Save Auto Service Station (gas station and convenience store) located in Edwards. As a secondary aspect of this application, the business owners also wish to add a new gas island to existing operations for this site, bringing the total number of islands up to four (4). When the Stop 'n Save was originally constructed (approximately 18+ years ago), the current uses, as permitted in the Commercial General zone district (and up to 22,000 sq ft), were 'uses by right' and were achieved after obtaining a building permit for construction- no other review process was necessary. After a major amendment to the Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLURs) occurred in 1998, Auto Service Station (current use) became obtainable via Special Use Permit only- regardless of size. Since the Stop 'n Save operations pre-dated the ECLUR amendment, the service station is considered a legal, nonconforming use (also termed as grandfathered use). As a result of this status, all of the existing improvements on the site are included as part of this application, in order to allow the owners to make future improvements to the site- including the expansion of the number of gas pumps or any upgrades to the exterior of the existing structures. Regardless of support of the drive-thru window aspect, this Consolidated Special Use Permit allows Staff to analyze the subject property and Auto Service Station as it measures up to current ECULR standards- a benefit to both the County and to the applicant. Establishment for "food or beverage" (like the convenience store aspect of the Auto Service Station) is a use by right in the CG zone district. Special Use Permits are valid for three (3) years before use implementation. Upon implementation ofthe approved use, Special Use Permits remain valid for perpetuity thereafter; unless an expiration date or exception has been placed upon the permit by the Board of County Commissioners.

STAFF REPORT A. NECESSARY FINDINGS: PROCESS INTENT ECLUR Section: 5-250 Special Use Permits Section Purpose: Standards: Special Uses are those uses that are not necessarily compatible with the other uses allowed in a zone district, but may be determined compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone district based upon individual review of their location, design, configuration, density and intensity of use, and the imposition of appropriate conditions to ensure the compatibility of the use at a particular location with surrounding land uses. All Special Use Permit types (Conceptual, Final or Consolidated) shall meet the standards set forth in this Section. Section 5-250.B. The issuance of a Special Use Permit shall be dependent upon findings that there is competent evidence that the proposed use as conditioned, fully complies with all the standards of this Section, this Division, this Article, and these Land Use Regulations. The Planning Commission may recommend and the Board of County Commissioners may attach any conditions deemed appropriate to ensure compliance with the following standards, including conformity to a specific site plan, requirements to improve public facilities necessary to serve the Special Use, and limitations on the operating characteristics of the use, or the location or duration of the Special Use Permit. STANDARD: Consistent with Comprehensive Plan. [Section 5-250.B.l] The proposed Special Use shall be appropriate for its proposed location and be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the FL UM of the Comprehensive Plan, including standards for building and structural intensities and densities, and intensities of use.

Homestead, Riverwalk and South forty HOAs C. SUMMARY ANALYSIS: Benefits/Disadvantages. Benefits: A drive-thru would potentially alleviate internal traffic congestion and competition between people getting gas and trying to park in order to enter convenience store for food products; This Special Use Permit allows for the opportunity to evaluate the subject site and uses for consistency with the current Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLURs). Improvements to site drainage and infrastructure have been found necessary and will be implemented with this Special Use Permit. Additionally, signage and access controls will also be installed and/or required as a condition oftms Permit; If Special Use Permit is approved, owners may make improvements to the business without a limitation as prescribed in Article 6- Nonconformities (currently, nonconforming uses and/or structures may only be maintained or improved up to 15% of value. Expansion of a nonconforming use or structure is prohibited); Disadvantages: ECOTransit raises the question that the drive-thru may be, ".. .out of character for an increasingly dense, pedestrian-oriented area." At this point, traffic numbers do not increase with the installation of the drive-thru; therefore, the same number of cars would be entering and exiting the site as before. The larger issue is that that there is no pedestrian trail or sidewalk on the Stop 'n Save side, along Edwards Village Blvd. The only pedestrian ways currently in this area are the portion of trail installed with the Corner at Edwards, across the street from the Stop 'n Save; the trail along Hwy 6; and the trail from Homestead that crosses the open space tract west of Edwards Village Center. With redevelopment of the intersection of Edwards Village blvd and Hwy 6, there may be opportunity to expand improvements south on Edwards Village Blvd towards Homestead; however, no design plans exist.

DISCUSSION: Ms. Johnson presented the request. The primary purpose of the application is approval of a drive-thru window to the existing convenience store. The business owners also wish to add a new gas island. Currently there are three. The application can be reviewed under the current regulations. She presented various photos of the site and a site plan. The applicant believes that the drive-thru would potentially alleviate internal traffic congestion. She indicated that all findings had been satisfied. The Eagle County Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. Chairman Runyon asked if there would be an additional access point. Ms. Johnson stated that that access would change to a right in, right out only. There would not be any additional access points from hwy 6. Chairman Runyon asked if the pavement footprint would be increased to accommodate the additional pump. Steven Richards, architect, representing the applicant spoke. He stated that they are proposing a pass by area and the area that is currently grass would be changed to concrete. Chairman Runyon asked what type of items would be sold at the drive-thru window. Kent Frieling, President of Feather Petroleum spoke. The reason they started doing the drive-thru was for convenience and too eliminate congestion. There are two other drive-thru locations in Colorado. Anything sold in the store could be purchased at the drive-thru window. Commissioner Fisher wondered about the service. Mr. Frieling stated that the most common items would be available near the cash register for easy access. Commissioner Fisher wondered if one could purchase alcohol at the drive-thru. Mr. Frieling stated that they do not allow beer sales through the drive-thru window. Chairman Runyon opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner Fisher stated that her biggest concern is the congestion in the area with vehicles and pedestrian traffic. Mr. Frieling stated that he understands the current congestion however, the traffic study indicated that adding the drive-thru would not create more trips but would assist in getting the existing traffic in and out quicker. He stated that Tract F has been a nice buffer for the pedestrian traffic. Ms. Johnson stated that there are currently no pedestrian walkways along Edwards Village Blvd. She believes that the access points would be an advantage to pedestrians. Mr. Frieling stated that he believes having an entrance only and exit only is a big plus. Chairman Runyon stated that he is acutely aware of the traffic flow in the area and believes that having one way in and one way out would be a benefit. Commissioner Fisher asked the Bryan Treu ifhe would recommend adding another condition specific to the sale of alcohol. Mr. True recommended a condition 13 be added prohibiting the sale of alcohol through the drive-thru window. Commissioner Fisher moved to approve file ZS-00165 - Edwards Stop 'n Save incorporating staff's findings and including conditions 1 -12 as presented in the staff report and including a condition number 13 regarding the non-sale of alcoholic beverages through the drive-in window. 1.
