This image shows the location and types of businesses that could locate on the 7.4-acre site.
A final master plan for about 7.4 acres south of the American Museum of Science and Energy shows possible businesses that could include a grocery or retail store of about 55,000 square feet and smaller businesses that could include a tire store and retail/restaurant.
The businesses would be on former AMSE property that is now vacant land at the intersection of South Illinois Avenue and South Tulane Avenue.
The final master plan for the planned unit development, or PUD, will be considered during a special meeting of the Oak Ridge Municipal Planning Commission on Thursday. The special meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 8, in the Oak Ridge Municipal Building Courtroom at 200 South Tulane Avenue. A work session will follow at 6 p.m.
The plan has been submitted by TN Oak Ridge Illinois LLC, a company affiliated with RealtyLink, which is developing Main Street Oak Ridge at the former Oak Ridge Mall.
The Oak Ridge City Council has already approved a PUD preliminary master plan for the project.
The Planning Commission recommended a rezoning for the property last fall, and the City Council approved it.
An earlier version of the plan for the property showed the one large grocery or retail building and three smaller buildings for retail and retail/restaurant.
