The drive-through has not been designed and is not proposed to be operated, maintained, and managed so as to be compatible, harmonious, and appropriate in appearance with the existing and planned character of the general vicinity, adjacent uses of land, and the capacity of public services and facilities affected by the use, based upon traffic and circulation concerns.
3. The proposal will not have a positive impact on the community due to traffic and circulation concerns associated with the proposed drive-through.
