IR <br />coupleof enterprises that will not locate here because of the prohibition. These include In- <br />n -Out Burger and Walgreen s. i am sure there must be others of which we are unaware. <br />However, the drive thru prohibition has grown into a hallmark of our community. <br />Fortunately, the City of San Luis Obispo enjoys a high level of interest from businesses <br />wishing to locate here. This did not change with the prohibition. In fact, in the intervening <br />years, it seems that our Downtown and mall areas have continued to grow and prosper <br />despite the rigors of our permitting processes and various regulations. I do not track the <br />effects of the prohibition and do not know of any studies done prior to adoption so do not <br />have any hard data to offer you. <br />I hope this 'sense" of the economics will help you with your considerations. Good luck. <br />Sincerely, <br />Claire <br />Claire B.

What, if any, economic impacts has the city experienced as a result of the <br />drive- through prohibition? Has the city experienced any issues with business <br />recruitment or backlash from the business community? Any positive economic results? <br />Any information you may have on the economic impacts of your city's drive - through <br />prohibition would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter. <br />SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA <br />❑ population (01/01/04): 56,300 <br />❑ 12 square miles in area <br />❑ Median Household Income (1999): $50,605 <br />❑ Median Home Value (2000): $411,900 approximately 74 miles south of <br />❑ located on the northern part of Monterey Bay, app Y <br />San Francisco <br />❑ home of UC Santa Cruz <br />
