Commission approves site plan for 52,050‑sq ft storage complex east of Warp Drive

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted Sept. 9 to approve a site plan amendment filed by Pella Building Systems on behalf of BKKS Holdings to build a storage complex east of 155 Warp Drive in the M2P (planned industrial) district.
Staff planner Tamala told the commission the proposal would place seven proposed buildings totaling 52,050 square feet on the south portion of the site with six future buildings shown to the north. She said the site meets applicable setbacks and height requirements but noted that the submitted site plan did not show parking. Tamala said the property is not in a FEMA-designated floodway or floodplain (2024 FEMA maps) and that an 8‑inch water main runs along Warp Drive. She recommended approval subject to the final site plan meeting all applicable city codes and regulations, including parking, landscaping and drainage.
The nut graf: Staff concluded the request is consistent with the future land use map and the industrial character of the immediate area, citing prior rezoning of the site under Ordinance 4077 (adopted March 13, 1995), and recommended conditions to ensure code compliance before issuance of permits.
Commissioners asked whether individual detention would be required; staff replied the subdivision uses regional detention, so the individual lot would not need on-site detention. After questions were answered, Commissioner Ewing moved to approve the site plan amendment; the motion was seconded and carried.
Discussion vs. decision: commissioners discussed drainage, parking depiction on the plan, and conformity with the future land use map; the formal action approved the site plan amendment with the condition that the final site plan comply with all city codes and specifications.
Ending: The commission approved the site plan amendment; staff will require the applicant to submit a final site plan showing parking and meeting code standards before building permits are issued.
