The Austin City Council announced Wednesday that it brokered a deal with the proposed Wal-Mart at Northcross Mall to hold off for 60 days.

Council members say Wal-Mart wants to get more input from the community. For the next two months, Wal-Mart has agreed to stop development and not file any permits with the city.

Plans for the Wal-Mart Supercenter are for it to be a 24-hour, two-story store that’s 219,000 square feet. Neighbors say the area and surrounding roads can't handle the traffic or light pollution that comes with a store of that size.

The city will hear public comment on the issue at Thursday's city council meeting. Austin City Hall is located at 200 Lavaca Street.
