The Pearce Field redevelopment project on Highway 53, which is proposed to include a Lowe's home improvement center as the anchor tenant, will not be discussed at the council meeting on Thursday, Feb. 11, according to City Clerk Melissa Swanson.
Swanson said city staff will ask the council to continue the agenda items, but she didn't have information on the new date.
She said City Administrator Dale Neiman will have the rescheduling information at Thursday's council meeting.
The Lowe's plan, which would be supported by more than $6 million in redevelopment funding for infrastructure improvements, was the subject of a nearly six-hour special meeting on Jan. 7, as Lake County News has reported.
KK Raphel Properties LLC of Danville is proposing the project, which has come out of more than three years of property negotiations between the company's principals and the city.
It's expected to include a Lowe's store with a total of 137,000 square feet of space – including more than 25,000 feet dedicated to an outdoor garden center – as well as four other, as-yet undetermined commercial tenants expected to be fast food or sitdown restaurants.
This is the third time the staff has asked for postponements, which Neiman said previously were needed because staff had to write responses to the voluminous public comments submitted on the proposal.
