A Chick-fil-A in California may be declared 'a public nuisance,' city council plans vote

Attorneys Robert Patillo and Brian Claypool discuss the class-action lawsuit against the fast-food giant on'Fox News @ Night' A Chick-fil-A restaurant in California could soon be designated a "public nuisance," after members of the community have complained to the city council. The Chick-fil-A restaurant, located in Santa Barbara, has been tremendously popular since it opened in 2013, but its success could be having a negative impact on the community. As desiring customers flock to the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, those who do not fit in the parking lot are forced onto the adjacent roadway, blocking traffic, residents have alleged, CBS News reported. After the restaurant's temporary fixes did not alleviate the traffic clog, the disgruntled residents took their complaints to the city council, who are considering a public designation to label the Chick-fil-A location a "public nuisance," a city council agenda document reads. "Previous attempts to informally remedy the situation have been unsuccessful. It is unlawful to stop in the travel lane, and there are traffic control signs posted that advise motorists not to stop in the travel lane, but Chick-fil-A customers routinely ignore those signs," the document reads.
