This week the Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council, community & Alameda County staff decided to reject a proposal that hoped to plant a Chick-Fil-A drive thru restauant for 90 sit down guests on Castro Valley Blvd. They said that there s already a McDonalds and Wendy s within a mile of where the location was proposed to open which would cause more traffic than there already is in that space. Chick-Fil-A s past support of anti-LGBTQ efforts was also an issue that got brought up during the proposal. Read more details here.

Fast food giant Chick-fil-A, is going to have a hard time bringing its wildly popular chicken sandwiches and crispy waffle fries to Castro Valley and not just because of its history of donating to anti-LGBTQ organizations.
The company ran into a hurdle this week with its informal proposal for a 98-seat restaurant at 2495 Castro Valley Blvd., which is currently home to Castro Valley Lumber. On Monday, the Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council voted to reject the company’s request for an adjustment to be made to the zoning for the property since it currently does not allow for a drive-thru, which Chick-fil-A would need. Castro Valley News was first to report the decision.
