Mart Supercenter; and,
WHEREAS,once the new development is complete the Joint Use would cease;the proposed
spaces are primarily located northeast of the JC Penney store; and,

feet of gross floor area(3.33 spaces/1,000 sq.ft.),and during certain periods of construction,on-site

City Council may approve the Plan if it finds that the criteria described in Section 29.406(17)(b) of
