The city of Santee today issued a Draft Environmental Impact
Report on the proposed expansion of the Town Center Walmart store and started
the clock on a 45-day review and comment period.
Walmart has applied to increase the size of its store at 170
Town Center Parkway from 131,220 square feet to 180,339 square feet to offer a
larger selection of groceries. The store would also expand its operation to 24
hours.
Walmart plans to create a new parking area on a 5.26-acre
parcel south of the store. This change
in the parking lot configuration and other measures to minimize the effect of
the project are identified in the environmental report.
The public has until 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3 to comment on the
document. Copies are available for
review at the Development Services Department at Santee City Hall, 10601
Magnolia Avenue, Building 4, on the City’s website at www.cityofsantee.ca.gov, and at the
Santee County Library, 9225 Carlton Hills Blvd.
Written comments should be directed to Associate Planner
Travis Cleveland, 10601 Magnolia Avenue, Santee, CA, 92071; or via email at tcleveland@cityofsanteeca.gov. He can be reached
at (619) 258-4100 ext. 160 for more information.
The proposed expansion project will be reviewed by City
Council at a future public hearing, at which time the public may also submit
comments.
