Construction on a controversial Wal-Mart store will begin sometime this summer, once the developer receives all the architectural and building-related permits from the city.
Cynthia Lin, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, said the 135,000-square-foot store, to be built on the 14-acre former Crest View school site on Talbert Avenue near Beach Boulevard, probably will be completed by spring.
Opponents tried unsuccessfully to block the project with a ballot measure that would rezone the former campus for residential development--a move that would have thwarted Wal-Mart’s plans. In March, voters narrowly rejected Measure I.
