Ontario Wal-Mart approval appealed


ONTARIO - There was little shock Friday afternoon when Ontario officials learned the Planning Commission's decision to allow a Wal-Mart Supercenter in the city had been appealed.

After about six hours of public comments Aug. 30 - and years of vocal opposition by segments of the community - the commission had approved the plan to build a Supercenter at Fifth Street and Mountain Avenue in Ontario.

The appeal was filed Friday by San Diego-based Briggs Law Corporation, which is led by attorney Cory Briggs.

The Ontario City Council will proceed over the appeal hearings at a future meeting - something city officials had said they expected whether the project was approved or denied.
