We’re dumbfounded

North Kansas City is trying to revitalize the “Burlington Corridor.”  Only thing is, they don’t want businesses to locate there, at least some businesses.  From the story:

The corridor study was designed to look into possible future land uses along Burlington to make the area as viable as possible. It could recommend rezoning or other changes.

The moratorium prohibits things such as parking lots fronting Burlington Street, auto sales businesses, motor vehicle repair or service businesses, payday lending, pawn shops, car title lending or check cashing lending businesses along the road.

They must be reserving the area for a Saks Fifth Avenue and a yoga studio.

What about a Wal-Mart that cashes checks? Or a Grocery store that does also? Or perhaps a gas station that might?
