Poway Walmart Expansion Project

Poway Walmart Expansion Project

The proposed project consists of the expansion and remodeling of the existing Walmart retail store located at 13425 Community Road in the City. The expansion consists of the addition of approximately 54,745 sf of commercial/retail uses to the existing 142,955 sf structure (including the garden center and tire and lube area), resulting in an approximately 197,700 sf Walmart with a full-service grocery department. The project would include demolition of the existing tire and lube center and the adjacent vacant 7,000 sf commercial structure. The tire and lube center would not be replaced. The proposed project would include an extensive remodeling to both the exterior and interior of the store. The remodeled and expanded store would include approximately 40,835 sf of grocery sales area, 11,385 sf of grocery support area (bakery, deli, etc.), 23,630 sf of stockroom receiving area, 9,400 sf of ancillary area (front and rear offices, customer service, restrooms, vision center, janitors, sprinkler room, and electrical room), 103,790 sf of general merchandise area, and 8,665 sf of outdoor garden center area. The project would include a new entrance for the grocery uses, new lighting, new landscaping, and additional loading facilities with two truck doors on the eastern side of the building. In addition, signage would be changed on the existing building and new signage would be installed according to a sign program submitted with the site plans. The expanded store would operate on a 24-hour basis, and the existing store will remain operational during the expansion construction process.
