CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING ON RESUBDIVISION REQUEST
Date: Tuesday, October 9, 2001
Time: 1:30 PM
Place: City Council Chambers, City Hall
The City Planning Commission will be hearing the resubdivision request of the St. Thomas Development and the proposed Super Wal-Mart site. The developers have proposed returning the historical street grid to the St. Thomas site, and they are asking to remove the street grid from the Super Wal-Mart site. This is explicitly against the Big Box Ordinance, which discourages closing streets to provide off- street parking.
Write the CPC or attend the meeting on October 9; ask that the CPC to deny this request! Be sure to mention that this issue should be deferred in order for the staff to have more time to review the entire project. Letters can be addressed to:
