CUP No. 2025-11 – Dutch Bros (1819 N. Tustin Avenue) April 28, 2025 Page 2 4 9 5 2 Table 1: Project and Location Information Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 1819 North Tustin Avenue – Ward 3 Nearest Intersection Tustin Avenue and Seventeenth Street General Plan Designation General Commercial (GC) Existing Zoning Designation Community Commercial (C-1) North Commercial Nursery and Multi-family Residential East Single-Family Residential South Eating EstablishmentSurrounding Land Uses West Eating Establishment Property Size 1.28-acres (55,871 square feet) Existing Site Development The subject site is a currently vacant Proposed Building Size 1,025 square feet Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP) Uses SAMC Section 41-365.5(e)Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-366 As designed, the project site would provide vehicular access from both the Tustin Avenue frontage road and Ponderosa Street via a 28-foot drive aisle. The proposed building would be centrally located on the property, with the drive-through entry accessed along the east side and extending along the northern property line. The double drive-through lanes are designed to accommodate vehicle queuing of up to 24 vehicles. Additionally, the proposed drive-through lane includes approximately 150 feet of additional spillover area located behind the parking stalls, ensuring it does not interfere with vehicle parking back up requirements. An additional 150 feet of spillover space is provided between the driveway entrance off the Tustin Avenue frontage road and the driveway exit area (designated as “do not block”), resulting in a total of 300 feet of spillover area beyond the start of the drive-through lanes. The approximately 250-foot double drive-through lane (providing 500 feet of stacking space) exceeds the minimum required stacking/queuing requirements outlined in the SAMC, which mandate 80 feet from the entry to the order point and 80 feet from the order point to the pickup window. For reference, Dutch Bros operates on a mobile runner system, where an employee with a portable menu, takes customer orders throughout the drive-through area. The proposed building design reflects the contemporary style typical of Dutch Bros locations, incorporating stone veneer, fiber cement siding, and cement plaster. The neutral color palette features grey and white for the main body, complemented by a tower element painted “Dutch Bros Blue.” Additionally, rooftop mechanical and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment will be screened by roof parapet extensions constructed of matching materials, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the overall building design. Commercial storefront windows, attached trellis elements, stone veneer, and score lines are also placed across all elevations to enhance the commercial aesthetic and eliminate large expanses of blank wall space. The project site will feature approximately 20,629 square feet
