""It's not going to happen here!" one older man shouted to the throng of people gathered at the McBride Senior Center on March 18, according to the San Francisco Chronicle."
""We do need to do a traffic impact study," per KCRA 3. "We need to do an environmental impact study on noise ordinance and how that's going to affect the community and how does this fit in with what Vacaville has a master plan.""
""The tower is over 60 feet tall. There is nothing compatible with 60 feet and higher in that same area," another resident said during the meeting."
""The message from the crowd was loud and unmistakable: Not here.""
Plans to expand a small mosque in Vacaville have sparked significant local opposition, with around 300 residents attending a meeting to voice their concerns. The proposed expansion would replace a 1,200-square-foot building with a 6,600-square-foot mosque, increasing capacity five-fold. Residents raised issues regarding traffic impact, noise ordinances, and compatibility with the area's master plan. The $1.5 million project aims to accommodate a growing Muslim population, but community members expressed strong resistance to the architectural changes and potential disruptions.
