Background Information:
Most of the site (62.5 acres) was annexed and zoned as a “Planning Area” District in March 2020 (Ord 2020-09). Planning Area Districts allow the landowner to choose multiple zoning districts (either CD-5, CD-4, EC, or LI), with the percentage of each district allowed established by the Preferred Scenario Designation. This site is designated as an “Employment Area” on the Preferred Scenario, and so the following district percentages are allowed:
•CD-4 (Character District-4): 0-10% of buildable land
•CD-5 (Character District-5): 10-40% of buildable land
•EC (Employment center): 60-90% of buildable land
•LI (Light Industrial): 0-30% of buildable land
The Planning Area zoning request was previously affiliated with the “Sportsplex” development; however, it is understood that this project is no longer moving forward and so the applicant wishes to rezone the entire site to CD-5. Approximately 2.57 acres is located outside the City limits and a request for annexation has also been submitted for consideration (AN-22-05).
