distance requirements in a 5-1 vote during a May 6 meeting. Council member Michael Jones voted against the motion and council member Charlie Philips was not present for the vote. The change would require restaurant drive-thru buildings and speaker boxes be located at least 200 feet away from single-family residential uses or zones, according to city documents. That distance can be lowered based on specific circumstances. Currently, the city’s development code only requires a 20-foot minimum distance between speaker boxes and a residential zone. Existing restaurants not in compliance will be in legal nonconforming status but will be able to continue operating.
