Drive-thru moratorium

Asked the council to uphold General Plan 2045 by adopting the moratorium — no place for future drive-thrus in the adopted goals.

70-year resident near Hanum Avenue thanked the council for the 45-day moratorium and asked for the extension so no more drive-thrus are approved.

Disability advocate argued drive-thrus harm people with disabilities who cannot drive and prefer businesses that generate tax revenue; wants a permanent ban.

Wants the ban permanent: the location is too close to an elementary school, with crossing safety and left-turn concerns onto Hanum.

Highlighted drive-thru air pollution — particulate matter, Alzheimer's risk, prenatal harms — noting 9 drive-thrus in the city and 21 within three miles.

40-year educator supports development but not here — the location would harm the school community with odors, traffic, and ventilation exhaust.

PRCS Vice Chair did not support a moratorium on all drive-thrus; asked that area residents be heard and cases be judged individually.

Lives next to the proposed In-N-Out and urged a no vote on the moratorium, citing the 50-car drive-thru capacity, modern idle-stop engines, EVs, bus routes, and need for third places.

Called out what she sees as cherry-picked climate concerns — idling cars from traffic vs. drive-thrus — and suggested requiring solar panels on roofs.
