>>      The Providence City Plan Commission Tuesday night voted to slow down the application of LA Fitness health clubs to put a 300-space parking lot on North Main Street in place of the former Sears building.
>>      The panel said the city “can do better from this developer” and also denied its request to combine master and preliminary plan hearings, which would have moved the project along quickly.
>>       The action puts off consideration of the proposal until next month’s meeting so “we can work together and figure this out.” The board members are requesting an environmental-impact study and that the applicant make improvements to its parking-lot design.
>>      Faced with testimony from 11 members of the community, including from the Summit Neighborhood Association, urging changes, and about a dozen members of Local 217 of the UniteHere! union holding signs protesting more large parking lots, the board continued the hearing.
