Chick-fil-A chickens out of Campbell - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

The fast-food giant Chick-fil-A abandoned its proposal to open a restaurant in Campbell due to strong opposition from residents concerned about traffic impacts and parking issues.
Despite a traffic study indicating no significant effects, residents voiced concerns at planning commission meetings, leading to Chick-fil-A not reaching the approval vote due to community pushback.
Planning Commission vice chair Matt Kamkar expressed disappointment over the loss of Chick-fil-A, emphasizing that projects need to fit their locations to mitigate impacts on neighborhoods.
Kamkar stated that ideal locations for popular businesses should be situated near freeway exits or large shopping centers to avoid disturbances in residential areas.
