As you know, Costco is at it again, trying to add another massive 32 pump gas station to the Tustin Ranch area and we as residents have major concerns about the negative impact the proposed fueling station will have on traffic, air quality, property values and public health in Tustin.

In July, the Tustin City Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit and Costco is seeking a Mitigated Negative Declaration, which is to say that NO comprehensive environmental impact studies on the traffic, fuel tanks, idling cars and pollution that this project will generate were going to be conducted.

A coalition of concerned Tustin residents, neighbors and merchants appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the Tustin City Council which has scheduled a public hearing on October 15th to decide the final fate of the project, including our request that a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be conducted to determine the impacts that a huge fueling station will have on the hundreds of homes, families and two public schools that are located near the proposed station- some as close as 700 feet.

Please join with your friends and neighbors in attending the public hearing on October 15th and in sharing this petition with your contacts. There are simply more questions than answers right now about the impacts that a huge fueling station will have on the surrounding neighborhood, roads, traffic and air quality. The City Council needs to slow things down and give residents more time to learn about the impacts the project will have on our quality of life, health and safety.
