I do not oppose the change from single unit to commercial, but I do strongly object to the plan for drive-through restaurants. The city has declared a climate emergency, and drive-throughs contribute greatly to GHG emissions both from cars idling in the drive-throughs, and discouraging people who walk and bike from accessing the commercial areas. Please vote no, and ask the developer to come back with a plan without drive-throughs.
