Council hears first reading for Schlegel Commerce Park PUD; neighbors sought limits on heavy trucking
Summary
A first reading of Ordinance 25‑54 proposes rezoning roughly 3 acres on Grassy Branch Road to a PUD modeled on nearby Northpointe standards; petitioner says the PUD will exclude large‑scale trucking uses and add landscaping and screening based on neighbors' feedback.
The council received a first reading Tuesday of Ordinance 25‑54, a change of zoning petition to create the Schlegel Commerce Park Planned Unit Development on about 3 acres along Grassy Branch Road. Ryan Collingwood of the Community Development Department presented the petition; Matt Pleasant of Pleasant Cities LLC represented the petitioner and described outreach with nearby residents and staff. Why it matters: The proposed PUD would permit enclosed industrial uses intended to mirror architectural and landscaping standards set by the adjacent Northpointe PUD, but Pleasant said the property owner and neighbors requested striking larger‑scale uses — specifically heavy trucking and large warehousing — from the permitted list to reduce noise and large‑vehicle traffic near a nearby church and residential subdivision. Pleasant said the site is currently zoned AG‑SF1 and that the petitioner intends to annex the property into the city and dedicate required right‑of‑way at the time of development. He said staff recommended carrying many standards from Northpointe PUD, including landscaping, buffering and architectural exhibits to reduce visual and noise impacts. He said a neighborhood meeting in August drew five neighbors and staff, and the petitioner has removed uses neighbors explicitly opposed to. Collingwood said the item will receive a public hearing before the advisory planning commission on Oct. 6 and that the council was seeing the item for its first reading and referral. No formal council vote was taken on the PUD at the meeting; the item was introduced and scheduled for advisory planning commission review.
