Northcross Mall/Wal-Mart Trial Today

I'm blogging this morning from the Travis County Courthouse, where Responsible Growth for Northcross awaits the start of its trial in its suit against the city of Austin and Lincoln Property. RG4N is suing on four points, claiming: 1) Lincoln's site plan to build a Wal-Mart Supercenter on the site of the former Northcross Mall violates a plat note on the tract protecting Shoal Creek; 2) city staff failed to review the site plan to ensure compliance with traffic and public-safety provisions of the city's Land Development Code; 3) the Wal-Mart's garden center is a conditional use that was improperly approved by city staff, which did not have the power to do so; and 4) the site plan violates the city's Protected Tree Ordinance.
The trial is being heard in the 419th District Court before Judge Orlinda Naranjo. I'll update throughout the day as time permits.
