I'm thinking most of this info you request is anly available by City Hall in the area being discussed.
Perhaps asking in the S.California chapter would be more helpful


I would still build a drive-in related to the 50's/60's

There should be zoning information in a website for the county and a full description of what is acceptable and in what way within that zone.

Maybe it's time to start comparing licensing and auxilary costs? I'd assume you'd have to go Rite-Aid, or CVS, or Walgreens if you were going to go pharmacy, and if you go with a gas station, you need to get gas from somewhere. You're going to be paying for something and it's going to be a big check, if that's the way you go.

Dennis, I love your idea of the drive-in, but the lot is too small to relive the fantasies of 50's & 60's!! And, yes, the corresponding post is in the SoCal forum as well, while I am working with the City Planning Department too! SoCal forum seems to be very slow, somehow.

Once again, I can't overemphasize my gratitude and the support I have received on this forum on an ongoing basis, from Dennis, other admins, moderators, and the FTE members, who have helped me streamline my decision making objectively on this project! Thank you, in advance, for all the inputs!

JD, because of the small size lot(8400 sq ft), ARCO, Mobil, Shell, and other major names would not show interest, however, I am researching the independent gas station franchises, such as, Ultra, Valero, etc. I am going to check their franchise terms & conditions. As Dennis had well pointed out earlier, I would have to live with small margins on the gas, and offset that by the CS/pharmacy business. I believe, I have seen drive-thru Walgreens, but I'm not sure if Rite-Aid or CVS are drive-thrus!
