Brentwood plans to strengthen regulations against new drive-thru businesses on Brentwood Boulevard, citing concerns over existing fast food saturation. The City Council's 3-1 vote directs staff to propose setback requirements to deter new outlets. Councilmembers believe additional drive-thrus do not promote economic development or job growth for locals. While some councilmembers are not opposed to drive-thrus in general, they emphasize the need for strict ordinances to maintain community quality and standards. Concerns about the negative effect of more fast food establishments on residents are prominent among council discussions.
Councilmember Jovita Mendoza stated that being strict on ordinances does not mean turning away businesses, mentioning her opposition towards certain types of establishments for community quality.
Residents and councilmembers are concerned about the oversaturation of fast food and drive-thru businesses along Brentwood Boulevard, particularly affecting the city's east side.
