The 345 acre complex would bring a Lowe's to the East Side, along with smaller shops and office spaces. Proponents have said the project is needed to prevent consumers from spending money in other cities, while opponents argue that the development will be built in sensitive wetland areas, will significantly impact traffic and air quality.
A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was presented to the council in March and a Final EIR is expected sometime in August.
