    Sugar House drive-through text amendment

    Discussed

    The proposal, initiated by the planning commission, would prohibit new drive-through facilities in the Sugar House Business District by removing them from the permitted-use tables for the CSHBD1 and CSHBD2 zones. Existing drive-throughs would become nonconforming uses. Planners cited public feedback, professional best practices on walkable districts and examples of businesses without drive-through service. The council set the public hearing for August 8.
