Bar Napkin Productions is a Architecture and Interior design firm located in Phoenix
Arizona and we are representing the company Southpaw to develop a new Dunkin’
drive-thru fast serve restaurant. This property will consist of a new building, landscaping,
and monument sign.
The property currently has a Taco Bell structure on site, which will be demolished for the
new construction. It is zoned C-2. To the East of the site is a KFC, to the West is a Burger
King, to the south is a McDonalds, and to the north is an empty lot. Uses of the DD serve
both neighborhood scale as well as community level needs. This DD provides the local
neighborhood with coffee and breakfast needs. Orientation of the site and building is to
West Glendale Avenue with an individual access point. Entry and exit of the site can be
found through site signage. Onsite parking areas are provided for workers.
The DD drive-thru building is to be 1,030 sf. The building will be designed to be in the
south portion of the site to accommodate circulation access for the drive-thru line. The
design of the building exterior is to be a contemporary mix of stucco, wood veneer, and
cement board with a parapet roof screening all roof elements. The new building and
fresh design will drastically improve the condition of the current site. The Dunkin Donuts
Drive Thru is compatible with adjacent neighborhoods, through the use of creative
building design, signage and landscaping. The DD proposed site is adequate in size for
site requirements. Dunkin’ will be beneficial to the neighborhood and will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of proposed use. The layout allows access to public streets and highways
to carry the type and quantity of traffic which may be generated by the use. The on-site

circulation is adequate to permit driveways parking and loading requirements in a
manner that is safe and efficient. The site has drive thru lane and fire lane clearance
throughout east, north, and west of the site, clear from any obstructions.
This should be a great fit with the surrounding commercial areas, parks, and residential
areas around the site.
