An expansion of Gymboree Corporation in Dixon, will be the topic of one of three public hearings scheduled for the Dixon Planning Commission meeting tonight.
Gymboree would like to construct a 145,152-square-foot addition to the existing 269,965-square-foot warehouse on Kids Way.

The business has experienced a lot of success in its Internet sales department, said Economic Development Director Mark Heckey.

"This is going to a very positive thing for the city," Heckey said.

He also said that the addition will give the city 100 more jobs.

In other action, the developer of the Panattoni Commercial Center will ask to delete a condition from its original building application that requires it to widen North First Street as part of improvements at Vaughn Road and North First Street, where the commercial center is located. City staff is recommending approval of the request.

Also on tonight's agenda is a request by Land Bank Development to subdivide its Jackson Square property located between C and D streets.

The Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 600 East A. St.
