Kmart expansion faces rezoning split in city plan
Hanover Linn Inc backed by Jack Jacobs associates seeks nine acre rezoning behind Leonardo's Pizza on Mount Vernon Road SE to allow a Kmart and adjacent shopping center. The Planning Commission granted this rezoning but blocked adding the plan to the master zoning ordinance due to lack of a public hearing. A separate 18 acre Lindale Plaza expansion along Collins Road NE was denied master‑plan inclusion for lack of prior discussion.
