CARL'S JR. RESTAURANT AND CAR WASH
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
Carl's Jr. Restaurant and Car Wash are situated on a 11 acre parcel
with the Fairview Shopping Center P.U.D. on West Elizabeth Street.
The existing zoning is BP (Planned Business) which allows for the
proposed uses.
The restaurant will employ approximately 60 persons on a full-time
or part-time basis. The car wash will be managed by one full-time
employee.
The restaurant occupies the northern 2/3 of the site along West
Elizabeth Street between the existing Taco Bell and Chesterfield,
Bottomsly and Potts. The following points were considered in the
planning concept for the restaurant:
1. The desire to locate the restaurant in a visually prominent
location.
2. The desire to continue a visible, functional accessway
from -the driveway in front of Duds and Suds across our
site -to the access road (private) along the west side of
the site.
3. The creation of an open, unified parking area between
Carl's Jr. and CB&P's which can be used as a shared park-
ing area to help during offset peak loads of the two
establishments.
4. The drive-thru lane was looped around the building to
direct traffic back onto the private access road to access
W. Elizabeth Street. This was preferred over a scheme
where the drive-thru exited directly onto W. Elizabeth
Street (right turn only) similar to the circulation plan
at Wendy's to the east of this site.
5. Earth berming was employed in the landscape area long W.
Elizabeth Street for two reasons. First, for visual
enhancement and to create more interest in the landscaping
scheme; secondly, to mitigate possible headlight glare
onto Elizabeth by vehicles using the drive-thru.
6. Access to the restaurant was intentionally made as far
south along the private access road as practical to allow
for an uninterrupted 8 to 10 car stack at the entrance
point onto W. Elizabeth Street.
7. The landscape areas along W. Elizabeth Street and the
private access road employ the same species used at Taco
Bell to the west, thus visually continuing and integrating
the same landscape concept thru the P.U.D.

The 4-bay self-service car wash occupies approximately 1/3 of the
site along the southern boundary. The following points were con-
sidered in the planning concept for the car wash.
1. The North -South orientation of the building allows suffi-
cient site clearance for the required stack space both in
front of (1 space) and behind each wash bay (4-5 spaces).
2. Parking stalls to the east of the car wash allow for a
dry -off area while parking stalls to the west of the car
wash, along the private access road, provide an excellent
location for employee parking for the restaurant use.
3. The car wash is buffered from the proposed Matador Apart-
ments to the south by a 10 foot wide landscaped area with
a 6 foot high solid cedar fence along the property line.
The development plan for the Matador Apartments indicates
a parking area adjacent to this property boundary. The
dwelling units are located approximately 70 feet south of
the property line.
4. The landscape strip along the north side of the car wash
buffers the car wash and provides definition of the drive
area. It also serves to define access points for circula-
tion into and out of the car wash facility.
5. Materials used in construction of the car wash will be
repetitions of exterior materials used in construction of
the restaurant to provide a sense of unified site develop-
ment -and visual compatability of the structures.
