The properties are surrounded surrounded by vacant buildings to the cast, a residential subdivision subdivision to the north, future commercial development to the west and on the south there is commercial and residential residential development. Jeffery's property is currently currently zoned as 'Special Purpose Purpose Commercial (C5) Zone' and he would like to have an appropriate zoning to permit the development of the proposed proposed plaza.

Their concerns included traffic traffic impacts of development along Hwy Two; trespassing along property on Bridle Court; noise; and the height of a proposed fence. John Wilson, who owns land across from the property, property, would like Birchdale to find a better access to the property. The planning report states Wilson is concerned because the Birdale access could impact impact on future development on his own property. The report notes, a revised western egress should alleviate alleviate Wilson's concerns. Local residents through calls have noted their concerns concerns regarding lighting.
