San Joaquin County July 8, 2002 PA-0200247 Page 3 • Energy efficient design including automated control system for heating/air conditioning and energy efficiency beyond Title 24 requirements, lighting controls and energy-efficient lighting in buildings, increased insulation beyond Title 24 requirements, and light colored roof materials to reflect heat. • Planting of deciduous trees on the south and westerly facing sides of buildings. • Provide low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitting and/or high efficiency water heaters. Fast food restaurants with a drive-through component create "idling" emissions resulting from customers in running vehicles waiting to place or pick up orders. Therefore, the District recommends that the following design features be included for this type of use to reduce "idling" emissions: • Provision of two service windows (a cashier window and a food service window). • Provision of an "escape lane" to allow customers to pull aside and wait for orders that take an extended time to prepare, thereby allowing other customers to move through the line more quickly. • Careful design of exits onto adjoining streets and/or parking lots to reduce the time required to re-enter traffic from the project site. • A double menu system that will allow drive through customers to formulate their order in advance and therefore reduce idling time when placing orders. Finally, this project will be subject to the permitting requirements of the District. Any equipment subject to the District's Permit to Operate requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District. Construction of equipment that requires an ATC or construction of any intimately related appurtenances, such as foundations and utility hookups for the equipment, cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. This process can take up to 180 days. Construction of equipment not requiring a district permit is not subject to this ATC requirement.
