What will happen to my property value if I live near a gasoline station?

There is no evidence to suggest that property values will change as a result of living near a gasoline station.   There are homes located throughout the City of Tustin that are within close proximity to gas stations.  In some instances, the gas stations are immediately adjacent to homes.  More specifically, in Tustin Ranch, two (2) existing service stations are approximately 170-200 feet from homes.  The proposed Costco gas station is 700 feet from any home.  There is no evidence that the existing Tustin Ranch service stations or those closest to the service stations in the remaining areas of the City have an impact on property values.
