AutoZone plan approved Posted: March 4, 2011 At its March 2, meeting, the Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a major land development plan for a 6,785 square-foot AutoZone retail store to be constructed at 6052 University Blvd., the current Trivia Pub location. As part of Moon Township’s University Boulevard Overlay District, the AutoZone site plan incorporates streetscape amenities, including sidewalks, street trees and pedestrian lighting fronting the corridor. Before voting on the plan, the board held a public hearing and approved two conditional use requests concerning the property’s driveway entrances.
