Planning board holds first hearing on drive‑through 'escape lanes' and stacking rules
Summary
At a first public hearing, the Lindale Planning and Zoning Board reviewed proposed zoning text amendments to define and regulate escape lanes and stacking requirements for drive‑throughs; no public comments were received and no action was taken.
The Lindale Planning and Zoning Board held a first public hearing April 13 on proposed zoning text amendments to define and regulate "Escape Lanes" and stacking requirements for new and remodeled drive‑through developments. Steven Lloyd, Lindale Director of Planning and Development, opened the hearing at 4:01 p.m. and said that "no public comments had been received by the office." The hearing closed at 4:05 p.m. with no citizens present to speak.
The amendment text under consideration would change Section 4-15 (Single Family and Two-Family Landscaping requirements) and Addendum 2 (Uses in Non-Residential and Mixed-Use Districts) to add standards for queuing, stacking, and escape lane dimensions for drive‑through facilities. Board members heard the staff introduction but did not take formal action during this session; the item remains under review and may return for further consideration or future action.
