Walmart fuel station relocation PUD amendment
Summary
Walmart is moving its fuel station toward Main Street under a 2004 PUD that locked in six fuel islands — twelve dispensers — before the city's three-pump ordinance existed. Residents pushed back, and staff promised the city will revisit fuel-pump rules in the new development code.
