We have been unable to recruited or consider the <br />new stand alone concept drug store because of this ordinance. Therefore we y <br />have lost a lot of potential tax revenue for property and sales tax. <br />From: Shannon Berry [mailto:sberry@co_orange.nc.us] <br />Sent: Monday, July 27, 200910:42 AM <br />To: James Harris <br />Subject: Drive - throughs in Carrboro - <br />Good morning Mr. Harris. <br />As you may know, Orange County is looking at possibly modifying our Zoning <br />Ordinance to limit or more strongly regulate drive- throughs in the county. <br />I understand Carrboro limits drive- throughs in the central business area. What, if any; . <br />economic impacts has the town experienced following the drive through prohibition _. <br />downtown? Has the town experienced any issues with business recruitment or backlash <br />from the business community? Any positive economic results? <br />Any Information you may have on the economic impacts of the drive - through limitations <br />within the town would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter. <br />Shannon <br />Shannon Collins Berry, AICP = <br />Special Projects Planner <br />Orange County Planning & Inspections <br />(919)245 -2589 <br />(919)644 -3002 fax <br />www.co.orange.nc.us <br />CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS = <br />• population (2000): 16,993 <br />• approximately 20 miles west of Boston <br />• Median Household Income (1999):$95,897 <br />• Median Home Value (2000): $453,400 <br />From: Marcia Rasmussen [mrasmussen @concordma.gov] <br />Sent: Monday, July 27, 200912:23 PM <br />To: Shannon Berry <br />Subject: RE: Concord drive - throughs <br />Shannon, <br />
