Restaurants, fast food

A.

Where permitted, Fast Food Restaurants shall comply with the following:

1.

When adjacent to residential districts, a five-foot high fence, constructed of opaque material, shall be located on all the property lines of the said Fast Food Restaurant premises, not bordering on a public street. Where the Zoning Board of Adjustment deems appropriate, a buffer may be substituted, providing the desired screening effect is achieved by providing a visually impervious barrier.

2.

The front yard and any side yard adjacent to a public street shall be provided with a ten-foot wide buffer, except where a driveway opening is necessary for ingress to and egress from the site.

3.

A preliminary plan or engineering feasibility report, providing for the site grading, storm drainage, sanitary sewers and water supply, shall be prepared by an Alabama Registered Professional Engineer.

4.

Fixed lighting shall be arranged in such a manner so as not to shine, reflect or glare onto surrounding properties or public streets.

5.

Parking Lots of any Fast Food Restaurant shall be cleared of all used paper, trash, refuse and other waste materials at least once every six (6) hours prior to closing.

6.

A Fast Food Restaurant shall not be permitted to install and maintain loud speakers or jukeboxes in a manner that allows sounds coming from them to be heard outside the restaurant building. This shall not, however, include microphones and speakers necessary for ordering food at drive-through windows.

7.

Each Fast Food Restaurant shall be provided with a dumpster pad which shall be located in the rear of the establishment and enclosed in a manner adequate to conceal such from public view and be installed in a manner consistent with local health department regulations.
