Commission advances rezoning request for parcels near 6200 Scout Trail to consent; final council approval required
Summary
A joint application from Bell Avenue Properties Inc. and the Mid Iowa Council Boy Scouts of America to amend PlanDSM and rezone parcels near 6200 Scout Trail to I-1 industrial for facility expansion was moved to the consent agenda after applicants agreed to staff conditions; the commission approved the consent package.
The Des Moines City Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 7 moved a rezoning request affecting multiple parcels near 6200 Scout Trail to its consent agenda after staff said the applicants agreed to the recommended condition; the consent agenda was later approved and the matter will proceed to the City Council for a final decision.
The request was filed by Bell Avenue Properties Inc., represented by Jonathan Cone, and the Mid Iowa Council Boy Scouts of America, represented by Matt Hill. The applicants asked the commission to find that the rezoning conforms with PlanDSM (the city’s comprehensive plan), to amend PlanDSM so the future land-use classification for the property changes from business park and development control to industrial, and to rezone the parcels from EX (mixed-use) and P-2 (public, civic and institutional) districts to I-1 (industrial) district to allow expansions including building additions, storage, and expanded parking.
A staff condition for the rezoning was read into the record; the applicant stated agreement with the condition during the hearing statement, and no members of the public asked that the item be removed from consent. Because the Planning and Zoning Commission is generally advisory, the City Council will conduct its public hearing and make the final determination on the requested plan amendment and rezoning.
No public testimony in opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript, and no vote tallies for the individual rezoning item were read; the commission approved the overall consent agenda that included this application.
The commission also discussed internal business at the meeting: a commission member noted that with Kayla’s resignation the commission needs to fill vice-chair and second vice-chair slots and formed a nominating committee (Emily, Johnny and Francis volunteered) to present recommended officers at the next meeting.
