Council Approves Fast-Food Eatery

City of Fredericksburg
“Fredericksburg City Council on Tuesday approved construction of a Burger King restaurant as part of the Cowan Crossings development that backs to the Westwood subdivision. The approval of a special use permit by a 4–3 vote includes conditions that must be met after several residents expressed concern about fumes from the restaurant’s charbroiled food. The council discussed the issue for nearly an hour and voted on a proposal by Councilman Brad Ellis to restrict the hours by requiring a 10 p.m. closure. That motion failed after only Ellis and Councilwoman Kerry Devine supported it.”
