Stacking Spaces. All drive-in uses shall provide stacking spaces for a minimum of six automobiles for each drive-in window.

Approval for a drive-in use shall only be granted if the city traffic engineer determines that the drive-in use and its associated operational characteristics will not create a traffic hazard either with respect to traffic congestion, the adequacy and safety of entry and exit points or the on-site vehicular pattern. The city traffic engineer's written approval shall be required prior to certification by the building inspector that the application (for a building permit) is complete.

Any uses that proposes to include a drive in use shall be subject to a site plan review.

The city traffic engineer's written approval shall be required prior to the zoning board of review taking any action regarding a drive-in use.
