Some residents are concerned about the following:
1 Potential affect on property values
2 Traffic congestion (as it’s a drive through)
3 Safety of children crossing from Hyde Middle School across the street.
4 Health (obesity) for those same children.
5 Litter that comes with drive-thru fast-food establishments.
6 Greasy odor pervading the neighborhood.
7 Negative impact on the established restaurants in the shopping center.
8 Aesthetics - a drive-thru is inappropriate for a residential neighborhood.
9 Added pollution from cars idling in drive-thru.
10 Noise - the drive-thru will operate from 6am to 10pm, 7 days/week.
The Planning Dept. hearing is at 6:30 pm Wed. Jan 23rd at the San Jose City Hall in "Chambers 1"
