The Responses from the PWC Board of Supervisors
Below is Supervisor Hilda Barg's Reply
John,
Thanks for sharing your concerns. I believe the property in question was zoned commercial use pre-1970 when conditional zoning came into play in the County. The Wal-Mart has a use by right and did not come before this Board of Supervisors. I agree with you that we do not need any fast food restaurants in that area. While we do not have a say in the matter, I hope we can attract a high-quality restaurant, which is much needed. The Wal-Mart will still have to comply with all of the local and state inspections, building development, transportation, environmental and signage. Hilda
