Write a letter against the Thompson Rezone
On Monday May 1, the City Council will hear an appeal from CLC Developers of Spokane to rezone 77 acres across the Troy Highway from the Moscow Cemetery to Motor Business. If approved the rezone will allow big box stores such as SuperWalMart to locate in Moscow. On March 8, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denying the rezone saying:
“A 40% increase in MB based retail may overburden Moscow’s retail stock. One 77-acre development at one moment, all as MB uses, would be out-of-scale and might unduly impact existing infrastructure unless mitigating development aspects are incorporated. The approval of this rezone would permanently remove a large amount of property from the potential for mixed use development and smart growth considerations.”
