Clairemont residents fight against zoning amendment needed for popular fast-food burger joint 173-feet from nearby homes
My family and I live very close to the Balboa Mesa Shopping Center, which has been in dire need of renovation for some time. For too long, the center has been a run-down eyesore with a terribly designed parking lot. However, the center has been zoned exactly as it should be. Having a drive-thru restaurant, open late, in that exact space, will greatly increase traffic at an already busy intersection. This type of business is incompatible with neighborhood life, and with such a large center, there must be a better place to build an In-N-Out Burger! We look forward to being able to walk to the center for meals and shopping, but are concerned about the long lines of cars trying to get through the drive-thru which are inevitable at every In-N-Out Burger I have ever eaten at, or even driven past. It seems that there must be another business or restaurant (which conforms to the current zoning) that can be located in that spot?— June 5, 2013 6:40 p.m.
