Distrito La Novia — opposition

Opposed the project on noise, traffic from car-carrier trucks, 50-foot light standards, and cited a petition with 800+ opposing signatures; urged denial.

Former mayor argued the dealership 'does not fit' the city, asked whether members would buy a home overlooking rooftop dealership parking, and urged a no vote.

A former dealership owner said dealerships are generally good but this location worsens the Valle/San Juan Creek/I-5 chokepoint with no alternate routes, and criticized a rushed community process.

A 32-year resident called it 'the right project, wrong place,' citing fire evacuation chaos, 45 mph traffic, ignored right-turn rules at Plant Depot, lost affordability, and lost retail like pharmacies.

Said it's 'not a bad project but the wrong place at the wrong time,' questioned the roundabout and U-turn safety plans, and worried about big business overpowering community character.

A 30-year Hidden Mountains resident said the dealership doesn't belong there and urged better community engagement and trust-building before deciding.

Described the fire evacuation as a 'hellscape' and warned adding dealership traffic to already gridlocked school-hour San Juan Creek Road could worsen any future disaster.

A 39-year multi-generational resident whose neighborhood burned said the project endangers evacuation safety and dismissed out-of-town supporters as paid industry voices.
