[Vision2020] PR - P&Z to Review Proposed LRE Amendments

[Moscow Cares]

I was over at Staples yesterday and noticed that Wal-Mart is adding a LARGE extension to their building.

I understand that this extension will serve primarily as a grocery outlet.

Yep.  When I plan on a steak-and-eggs breakfast, nothing gets my mouth to water more than the thought of a months-old tenderloin available on the shelves of Wally World at a nickel a pound.

Seeya round town, Moscow.

The Commission will review a draft ordinance that would establish a scaled application of development standards for LREs at their upcoming meeting on July 27, 2011, at 7:30 PM in City Council Chambers located on the second floor of City Hall at 206 E. Third Street.

The Moscow City Council has recently requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission prepare an ordinance to remove the conditional use permit and economic impact study requirements for Large Retail Establishments within Moscow.
