I am hoping that the Mayor's Office and
City Council would consider altering the ordinarke
that placed a moratorium of creating or issuing
use permits for businesses utilizing drive-through
retail services. I te that the City of sebastopal
could benefit from having access to sales tax
revenue from drive-through retall and that the
current business trajectory limits potential growth.
Residents of sebastopol often have to drive to
neighboring cities like Santa Rosa, Rolert Park,
or Windsor in order to patronize sim, ar businesses
that could operate in the Sebastopol market, but
are limited by having to navigate additional zoning

road traffic. If some businesses were allowed te
access and build new drive-through retail establishments, he local economy could benefit from the extra
activity and resents of sebastopol Lould enjoy more oftan Thank you for your time and consideratien. sincere, or bose (i
