The Bloomington Planning Commission says no to SuperTarget.
After more than three hours of debate Thursday night, the commission voted down a proposed SuperTarget grocery and department store at the corner of Normandale Boulevard and Old Shakopee Road.
Hundreds of people concerned about traffic turned out for the meeting.
City staff released a report last week saying the SuperTarget would increase traffic and weaken other nearby retail areas.
Target has offered to pay for road improvements to ease traffic problems.
The proposed zoning change now goes to the Bloomington City Council, which can either uphold or overrule the commission’s decision. The council will take up the issue Aug. 18.
