Home Depot currently leases the land for the Home Depot at Roscoe and Balboa from the owner of Van Nuys Airport, Los Angeles World Airports (“LAWA”). That lease is nearing expiration and Home Depot is currently in the process of renewing the lease. Home Depot wants to stay at its current site at Roscoe and Balboa.

The Granada Hills Home Depot is being proposed to accommodate the increase in demand for Home Depot, not to replace a Home Depot. If you want to see a letter from Los Angeles World Airports about the existing and proposed lease, please CLICK HERE.

There is no evidence that Home Depot would lower property values in the surrounding area. Oftentimes, when a shopping center gets an anchor tenant like Home Depot, shopping centers tend to have more shops and better tenants, which is usually better for everyone.

The proposed Home Depot site in Granada Hills is zoned commercial and Home Depot is a commercial use. Home Depot is consistent with the existing zone at the Center.

As part of the environmental review for the Home Depot proposal, the City will review a traffic study that evaluates potential traffic impacts related to Home Depot. We don’t anticipate that Home Depot will create more traffic than the existing movie theater, but we won’t know until the traffic study is completed.

Home Depot is a popular retailer that lots of people use. Demand for existing Home Depots has expanded, which is why we have proposed to come to Granada Hills.

As part of the City’s application process, the City will complete an environmental assessment of the Proposed Project and will establish what the environmental impacts are of the size proposed and if a different size is more appropriate.

Like most stores, Home Depot gets deliveries of items to sell to customers; this is no different than any other store in the North Hills Shopping Center. Potential noise impacts from deliveries will be considered as part of the environmental assessment the City conducts as part of the development application process. We are confident we will be able to manage noise impacts just like every other grocery store and retail store in Los Angeles.

We take great pride in ensuring that our exterior designs fit the communities we serve.
