We are looking at possibly modifying our Zoning Ordinance to limit or <br />more strongly regulate drive- throughs in the county and I am trying to gather as much <br />information as possible regarding the impacts other communities have experienced due <br />to regulations or prohibitions. <br />I understand Watertown prohibits fast food drive throughs within the city. Does the city <br />also'prohibit drive- throughs for banks, dry cleaners, etc? What, if any, economic <br />impacts has the city experienced following the drive- through prohibitions? Has the city <br />experienced any issues with business recruitment or backlash from the business <br />community? Any positive. economic results? <br />Any information you may have on the economic impacts of the drive - through limitations <br />Within your city would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter. <br />
