The likely issues that you can fight them on are:

- Water (they would use too much of it)
- Traffic (they would cause too much)
- Environmental impact (the development would materially adversly impact the environment)
- Not consistent with the broader community ( you dont have or want that type of merchant)

One strategy is to drag the approval process out with traffic studies, enviromental impact studies (EIRs) and public meetings. As you increase the costs the company's desire to proceed will decline.

Send me a private message if you want more information.

Good luck
