Community Petition to Oppose the Proposed
RV and Trailer Outdoor Storage Facility
To: City of Riverside Planning Commission & City Council From: Concerned Local Businesses, Residents, and Community Members We. the undersigned, strongly oppose the proposed RV and trailer outdoor storage facility planned for 10030 Indiana Ave. As stakeholders who live. work, and invest in this community, we believe the project is inappropriate, harmful, and inconsistent with the goals of maintaining a vibrant, safe, and prosperous neighborhood.
Reasons for Opposition
1. Negative Impact on Local Businesses
This facility would damage the professional image of nearby businesses, discourage new investment, and reduce customer traffic. The presence of a vehicle storage lot undermines the environment that our commercial community depends on to thrive.
2. Traffic and Circulation Issues
RVs and trailers are oversized vehicles that create congestion. safety hazards, and maneuvering challenges. Increased turning movements. blocked sight lines, and slow circulation will disrupt nearby businesses and endanger pedestrians and drivers.
3. Visual Blight and Aesthetic Degradation
Rows of idle RVs and trailers will create a cluttered and unattractive environment. Outdoor storage lots contribute nothing to the streetscape and instead degrade the overall appearance of our district.
4. Neighborhood Incompatibility
All outdoor storage yard is fundamentally inconsistent with a professional commercial area. it does not complement existing uses. nor does it enhance the identity of the district. This type of use belongs in an industrial or remote location—. not next to active businesses.
5. Noise, Light, and Operational Disturbance
RVs aro often moved early in the morning, late at night, or on weekends. Idling engines, backup alarms, and security lighting will create ongoing disturbances that affect both businesses and visitors.
6. No Economic or Community Benefit
The facility would provide little to no jobs, sales tax revenue, or customer activity for the community. It locks up valuable commercial land while offering no meaningful contribution to the local economy.

7. Increased Risk of Crime and Vandalisn
Outdoor storage yards are frequent targets for theft and trespassing. The concentration of valuable vehicles attracts criminal activity that could spill into surrounding businesses, compromising safety and security.
8. Environmental, Air Quality, and Drainage Concerns
The constant movement of oversized vehicles worsens local air quality, while large paved surfaces increase polluted runoff and stormwater drainage issues. These negative environmental impacts are inconsistent with our community's goals for sustainability.
Our Request
For all of these reasons, we, the undersigned, respectfully urge the Planning Commission and City Council to deny approval of the proposed RY and trailer outdoor storage facility.
We ask that the property instead be reserved for uses that support business vitality, enhance aesthetics, generate economic growth, and contribute positively to the long-term health of our community.
