Executive Summary:
Zoning Commission Action Requested
The Zoning Commission is requested to receive the recommendation of the Professional Planning Staff, conduct a legislative hearing, and forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed rezoning request.
Rezoning Request Summary
The applicant has submitted a request to rezone approximately 123.48 acres located at the intersection of Country Club Drive and Distribution Drive from Light Industrial (LI) and Conservation District (CD) to Heavy Industrial (HI). The proposed rezoning is intended to facilitate industrial development that is generally consistent with the 2040 Future Land Use Plan. However, Professional Planning Staff recommends that the portion of the property currently zoned Conservation District (CD) remain unchanged in order to preserve environmentally sensitive areas and maintain consistency with the purpose and intent of the Conservation District. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of the rezoning request only for the portion of the property currently zoned Light Industrial (LI), while retaining the existing Conservation District (CD) zoning.
