"light manufacturing facility" in the center of a well-established residential neighborhood in Whitehaven, a community 1.4 miles from the famous Graceland Mansion with the intent to destroy the serenity of the community by adding this massive factory under the presumption that it will be a vocational technical training facility when no contract for that purpose has been produced to date.
