Plans for a new Home Depot in Granada Hills are not sitting well with some residents who believe the store will bring traffic congestion and other issues to their area.
According to plans submitted to the city's planning office, the retail giant is looking to tear down the shopping center, located at the intersection of Balboa Boulevard and Devonshire Street, for a new 164,000-square-foot store, which would include a garden center and tool rental center.
"The main issue is the store that they're proposing here is entirely too large for the area and it's also light industrial, it's not really commercial," said Dr. Stephen Hubbard, the author of the Stop Home Depot Report. "It's really out of character with the neighborhood.
"We voted unanimously to make sure that an environmental impact report is done and it has been sent as a community impact statement to city hall," said member Mark Morris.
