Wal-Mart issue due up for vote
The Wal-Mart issue is heading for a vote.
At its next regular meeting, the City Council is expected to vote on a controversial proposal to change the zoning on 23 acres at the northeast corner of Highway 532 and 72nd Avenue NW.
The proposal drew sharp rebuke from many in town after its developer mentioned last fall that Wal-Mart was interested in the property. Opponents fear Wal-Mart will hurt local businesses.
The developer, Brent McKinley, who wants the zoning changed from residential to commercial, later said Wal-Mart no longer has an option to buy the property.
The city’s planning commission voted unanimously against changing the land use. The City Council will meet at 7 p.m. June 2 at City Hall, 10220 270th St. NW.
