TUCKER, Ga. - The city of Tucker is looking to cap the number of drive-thru restaurants within the city limits.

The backstory:

Since February, Tucker has been under a moratorium on approving new drive-through facilities, giving officials time to review zoning policies. That moratorium expires on Monday night, and the council’s vote could determine whether tighter restrictions become permanent.

What we know:
