Wal-Mart hearing re-scheduled

ADDITIONAL TIME MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS

A public hearing set for Tuesday January 22, 2008, to consider the Waters Road Project, which is to be anchored by a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter, has been rescheduled for January 29, 2008, providing more time for public review of the substantial studies for this project application.

Mayor Pete Sanchez made the following announcement Tuesday evening regarding the Walters Road Project, which is anchored by a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter:

"As the public is most likely aware, the Wal-Mart project is
scheduled to be heard on January 22, 2008, as a Joint Planning Commission and
City Council meeting.

Due to the important nature of this project, we would like
to provide ample time to review the projet and receive all comments. Therefore,
we will be cancelling the joint meeting of January 22, 2008, and
scheduling:

• The Planning Commission Public Hearing for Tuesday, January 29, 2008, at 5 p.m.; and
  
• The City Council Public Hearing tentatively for Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 5 p.m."

To facilitate the public review process of this project, the Final Environmental Impact Report was posted to the City’s website on January 10, 2008. Staff analysis, reports and supporting information for the Planning Commission meeting will be available online on Friday January 18, 2008, and on CD and in hard copy forms starting on Tuesday January 22, 2008.
