Council removes 2000-era drive‑thru ban at Yamada Crossing, leaving stacking and site-plan checks for later review
Summary
Council voted to delete a 2000 restriction that prohibited freestanding restaurants with drive‑thrus at Yamada Crossing; staff and supporters said roadway improvements and a traffic study show the site can meet Palm Beach County standards, while neighbors warned of queuing and noise to adjacent residences.
The City Council on July 15 approved an amendment to a 2000 rezoning condition that had prohibited freestanding restaurants with drive‑thru lanes at the Yamada Crossing commercial center.
