Council hears first reading to rezone Main/CC site to PUDC, allow light industrial uses
Summary
Council took first reading April 8 on rezoning the northeast corner of North Main and State Highway CC from general commercial to a planned unit development commercial that would also permit light industrial (M‑1) uses; the owner said he plans to coordinate building timing with the MoDOT roundabout work.
On April 8, the Nixa City Council heard first reading of council bill 2025‑12, a rezoning request to change property at the northeast corner of North Main Street and State Highway CC from General Commercial (GC) to Planned Unit Development Commercial (PUDC) with allowance for M‑1 (light industrial) land uses.
Planning and Development Director Scott Gabbi presented the application and said the property — annexed and zoned in 2020 — is roughly 8.5 acres in its current configuration and already contains four commercial “flex” buildings (display/office with warehouse bays). “The main request is the PUDC with the M‑1 zoning or land use allowed within it,” Gabbi said, describing the rezoning as an overlay that would allow the mix of commercial and light industrial uses similar to the existing tenants.
Gabbi told council that the property will be heavily affected by a Missouri Department of Transportation roundabout project at CC and Main; the property owner negotiated with MoDOT to reconfigure an on‑site stormwater detention basin so the basin would both support the road project and this site. Gabbi said the site is served by municipal sewer stubbed to the property and that an on‑site sand filtration wastewater system will be taken offline when the project connects to city sewer.
Property owner Tim Wilson spoke at the meeting and said he planned to time the new building construction to overlap with MoDOT’s roundabout construction so tenants would not face successive disruptions. “My objective is to start this construction through the process of the construction of the roundabout... I’m gonna try to piggyback on top of the roundabout project,” Wilson said.
Planning and Zoning recommended approval 6‑0 (one absent); staff recommended approval as well. The ordinance includes use restrictions in its draft text to exclude certain heavier or sensitive uses (Gabbi said the draft already restricts some uses such as marijuana dispensaries).
Council opened a visitor section for public comment; no public opposition to the rezoning was recorded at the meeting. The item was at first reading and no final vote was taken.
Why it matters: rezoning would formalize and potentially expand light industrial and commercial uses at a prominent intersection and coordinate stormwater and access changes linked to a MoDOT roundabout project.
