Drive-through restaurant near residential zoning on University Pkwy

The county's sign code was written when one drive-through lane was the standard, so every double-lane restaurant needs a variance. The board directed staff to start the process to fix it.

Next up: Board of Adjustment, Nov 18. We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda, when it's voted on and when its status changes, at most once a day.
