As you are aware SCI Funeral Services Inc. is proposing a funeral home at the corner of Etiwanda Ave and Candlewood St. The psychological discomfort of having a funeral home so close would be a continuous reminder of death that undermines the comfort and repose sought in home ownership. This funeral home would constitute a private nuisance (interference with a person's enjoyment and use of his or her land. This law recognizes that landowners, or those in rightful possession of land, have the right to the unimpaired condition of the property and to reasonable comfort and convenience in its occupation). This funeral home is not a good fit or conducive to our neighborhood. It would increase traffic flow, lower property values and the health risk (whether perceived or factual) would causes irreparable depreciation as much as 17% in some studies.

I have been reviewing the zoning codes and preparing a formal letter to the planning commission regarding the negative impacts of this project. Local news outlets are currently inquiring about the potential traffic congestion at the intersection of Etiwanda and Candlewood.

The current level of engagement has prompted a formal request for a meeting with the city planning department. We are now finalizing a legal brief that outlines the potential impact on property values and neighborhood traffic flow.

NO WAY. Dont ruin our property values like that. Keep it away from residential areas.

Seriously? Thinking about living next to a hearse loading dock every single day is creepy and depressing. Not okay.

Are you kidding me? Traffic on Etiwanda is already a nightmare. This will make it way worse for everyone living here.

This makes zero sense for our community. Find somewhere else with actual commercial zoning.

We bought our house for the quiet neighborhood feel not to live next to a funeral home. This is just a bad location for it.

Please stop this. My kids play near that corner all the time and I dont want them around constant funeral traffic and grieving crowds.
