Site and Building Design 
Primary entries are on both 67th Avenue and Bell Road. There is an existing bus stop to remain on Bell 
Road at the front of the development. The drive-thru lane is accessed internally to the site and provides 
queuing that meets the corporate standard. A porte cochere will be added at the d/t pickup window to 
provide shade and protection from the climate elements for the drive-thru patrons, and a canopy is also 
located at the walk-up window for pedestrians. A new refuse enclosure is located at the back of the site, 
has excellent service access, is not visible from Bell Road and conforms to the latest City of Glendale detail 
standards. Generous landscaping exists along Bell Road, main entry drive, and at the parking areas a 
minimum of 1 landscape island for every ten (10) spaces with each island no less than 8-feet wide has 
been provided. The landscape islands shall contain a minimum of one tree and two shrubs per single 
landscape island, a minimum of two trees and four shrubs per double landscape island and a minimum of 
one tree and three shrubs per 30 linear feet of landscape median. All landscaping provided shall be per 
the City of Glendale approved palette. The proposed building materials and colors are compatible with 
those of the surrounding buildings, while still providing a corporate identity. The property owner has 
reviewed and approved the project. We believe that the attention to the site and architectural design 
compatibility ensure that Jack in the Box will be an attractive entity within the Glendale Palms 
development. 
 
Ingress and Egress to the property and proximity to driveways and street intersections in the vicinity of 
the subject property 
The site has two direct access points. One from 67th Avenue and one from Bell Road. One for vehicles 
coming from the south, and another for vehicles coming from the west. As shown on the site plan, 
circulation on the site is safe and easy to navigate, designed to promote flow 
 
Internal vehicular circulation including emergency and delivery vehicles 
The site contains 23’-0” wide minimum, two-way drive aisles, making vehicular circulation non-
“combative” with the largest of vehicles. Emergency vehicles can maneuver throughout the site, based 
upon City of Glendale Fire Department provided turning radii requirements (32’-6” inside and 52’-6” 
outside). 
 
Pedestrian and alternative vehicle considerations for the proposed use. 
Pedestrian access is from Bell Road via the existing accessible walkway along the entry drive. There are 
bicycle racks to support four bicycles and promote alternative vehicle transportation considerations.

Off-street parking and loading 
Off-street parking conforms to the parking 10’x20’ stall size per the City of Glendale Zoning Development 
Code, and accessible parking conforms to ANSI/ADA/COG requirements. The quantity of parking spaces 
provided twenty eight (28) exceeds that of the quantity required twenty seven (27). The quantity of bicycle 
parking provided exceeds that of the quantity required. 
 
Proposed outdoor activities or storage 
There are no outdoor activities or outdoor storage planned for this site. 
 
Hours of operation 
This location shall operate the drive-thru 24-hours a day, year-round with exception on holidays to be 
determined. Security will be maintained at high levels consistent with a major national brand. 
 
Exterior lighting with reference to adjacent properties 
Exterior lighting, both building and site shall be in conformance with the City of Glendale standards. 
Proposed parking lot light poles are non-pivoting downlights and recessed LED lights, not to exceed 25’-
0” in height. The exterior lighting shall have little to no impact on adjacent properties. Signage, is under 
separate submittal/review/permit by others. 
 
Noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration, or illumination created by the proposed use 
The drive-thru menu boards and order speaker are of ambient adjustable technology so that sound level 
at the property line will not exceed ambient noise levels. Jack in the Box utilizes high technology filters on 
all cooking equipment as well as maintaining a rigorous filter cleaning regimen further reducing potential 
cooking odor impact. 
 
Additional information 
We believe the proposed Jack in the Box restaurant design is consistent, compatible and in compliance 
with Glendale Palms and the City of Glendale General Development Standards. 
 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Jeff Looker
