According to Special Use Permit Case No. 2006-001, approved for the construction of the Walmart Supercenter, the total square footage of Walmart is 194,844 and the required parking spaces were 650 parking spaces (1 per 300 S.F. of Gross Floor Area). According to the site plan submitted for the Special Use Permit in 2006, a total of 928 parking spaces were provided and the existing parking lot has 278 additional parking spaces.
