She proposes to move the restaurant to the Little Chief Shopping Center now under construction on 37th and Stinson Boulevard. In order to operate a restaurant at this location now zoned C-2 it would take a rezoning and the Council members do not want to rezone the area to C-3 to allow a restaurant. Councilman Land felt a special use permit would be the answer although he is not in favor of letting any type of drive-in restaurant come into the are~.
