Chick-fil-A: Our unwanted neighbor

Location: Northern California

I’m exhausted trying to get resolution from the restaurant, city, and county. Posting here as a desperate maneuver, hoping for some suggestions I haven’t tried.

Restaurant is < 200 ft from our home. Nothing between us and the restaurant besides their parking lot and some infant trees.

The land was rezoned after we moved in, opening the door for this catastrophe. I’ll admit, we were naive thinking our city had their residents in mind. Unfortunately not.

The smell of greasy chicken and french fries is non-stop. 18-wheel delivery trucks every night. Maintenance all the time - garbage trucks, power washing, grease removal trucks. Lots of foot traffic and loiterers behind our home. Cars peeling out in the parking lot. Everything you’d expect in an empty parking lot that isn’t monitored.

I cannot afford a nuisance lawyer and have been unsuccessful finding one that will work on contingency. It seems most don’t want to touch this type of case with a 10 ft pole.

We have seriously considered moving… but we have a family, schools, and love our home.

Appreciate any input.
