Homeowners furious over fan-favorite burger restaurant opening in their neighborhood – they have a plan to fight back

FURIOUS homeowners have demanded the city pause construction of a beloved burger spot due to growing worries about traffic and the environment.

Many California residents are excited about the prospect of having an In-N-Out Burger open in their neighborhood. However, a group of homeowners in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles is vehemently opposed to the idea.

In-N-Out Burger, a popular fast-food chain, intends to build a restaurant and drive-thru by demolishing an old bank building in the area.

However, the West Valley Alliance for Optimal Living has concerns about the site as it’s close to housing.

The homeowners’ group, a nonprofit organization, has taken legal action by filing a petition with a Los Angeles judge. They aim to stop the city from proceeding with the project until comprehensive studies are conducted to assess the potential impact of the new restaurant on traffic, noise levels, and water quality in the vicinity.

The petition was brought forward on November 25.

The City Council took recommendations for the project from the Planning and Land Use Management Committee on the site on October 1.

Officials found the construction to be exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, according to MyNewsLA.com.

However, the homeowners group is fighting back by saying the project doesn’t qualify for an exemption.

CEQA was passed by then-Governor Ronald Reagan in 1970 to inform government officials and members of the public about the potential environmental impact of proposed projects.

The act was created to prevent significant damage to the environment.

“The record lacks substantial evidence that the project would not result in significant traffic impacts,” the petition reportedly states.

The petition included studies from In-N-Out locations in other areas across Los Angeles.

The group said the Woodland Hills restaurant would create more traffic than developers expected.

The City of Los Angeles has yet to respond to the homeowners’ petition.

City planners have yet to respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

While petitioners are begging the judge to pause the construction, other Woodland Hills residents are sharing their anticipation for a new restaurant in town.

“That’s a perfect location I hope they do it,” one commented on YouTube.

“That side of Woodland hills is always dead and the business there barely get any foot traffic,” another theorized.

“This would take the pressure off the other in and out on Ventura.”

“That’s cool that they are going to build an in n out in Woodland Hills and they should do it why not,” a third wrote.

“Way too late to worry about traffic or noise, I’d say,” another joked.

In-N-Out has over 400 locations across the US, with the majority of restaurants located in California.
