IOWA CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER WAL-MART

Council to consider Wal-Mart hearing [Iowa City Press-Citizen (Iowa)]

The Iowa City Council will consider setting a public hearing for a proposal to build a new Wal-Mart Supercenter.

The Planning and Zoning Board recently approved altering a conditional zoning agreement that would allow Wal-Mart to build the 180,000-square-foot supercenter.

The store will replace Wal-Mart’s current store at 1001 Highway 1 W., as well as an abandoned Cub Foods and existing Staples store.

The conditional zoning agreement requires the site to have multiple buildings. Wal-Mart is requesting to change that agreement to allow a single building.

The council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
