When driving along State Street in Santa Barbara, California, on any given weekday or Saturday afternoon, it's not uncommon to see a long line of cars outside Chick-fil-A, as residents hungry for fatty fried chicken deliciousness head to the beach town's only establishment.

During lunch hours, the drive-through line gets so backed up that it reportedly spills out onto the main street, resulting in traffic delays. It seems that Santa Barbara's Chick-fil-A is so good that people don't mind waiting long times for what is advertised as fast food.

But if the city has its way, the immensely popular chain restaurant may soon be ordered to halt its drive-through business altogether.

What are the details?

In a report filed earlier this month, various city agencies ordered a public hearing on the matter and recommended that the city council take a specific course of action: "Declare that a public nuisance exists at 3707 State Street and direct abatement of the nuisance by cessation of use of the drive-thru facility."
