Industrial warehouse buffer with McNair Drive neighborhood
Chili
Summary
A 96,000 sq. ft. warehouse is coming to land zoned industrial for years, directly behind homes on McNair Drive. The developer added a 12-13 foot landscaped berm, restricted truck traffic to 8-5 weekdays, and added drainage culverts to protect neighbors' yards — but residents still worry about property values, lighting and future shifts.

Impact analysis
Neighbors like Tim McMurtry worry the warehouse will make nearby homes harder to sell; the board chair noted the land has long been zoned industrial and no variances were sought.
The Sydor family business gains room to more than double its footprint and add roughly 16-17 jobs over five years.
McNair Drive residents lose their open-field view and deer habitat, and say the project may reduce their home values.
