Commission approves small-scale land-use change and rezoning for 50-acre parcel along State Road 26
Summary
The commission approved a small-scale future land use map amendment from Agriculture to Commercial and a companion rezoning to Commercial Intensive for a 50-acre parcel previously part of the SAP planned development; developer representatives said the parcel will front State Road 26 and be commercial-oriented.
The City Commission voted unanimously on June 23 to approve a small-scale future land use map amendment and a companion rezoning that will change a 50-acre parcel along State Road 26 from Agriculture to Commercial and from Agricultural zoning to Commercial Intensive.
Community Development staff explained the parcel is a remnant of a previously proposed planned development (the SAP property) and was purchased by a developer identified in the hearing as Grama (listed in application materials as ACNB/ACMB SAP LLC). The applicant’s consultant, Ryan Thompson of NV5 (NV5 Global Incorporated), said the developer intends to carve out about 50 acres along the road for commercial uses concentrated toward the State Road 26 frontage. The project context includes nearby planned developments such as Highland Park (under construction by the same developer) and Tanglewood, which has nonresidential square footage already planned.
The proposed Commercial Intensive zoning allows retail and personal services and a higher-intensity set of uses than the existing commercial general district; it permits uses such as car washes, lumber and building supply stores, and certain outdoor commercial operations but excludes heavy automotive repair uses reserved for a specific automotive zoning category. Staff noted the site is within the city’s urban service area and that city water has been extended to the area; sewer currently ends near Highland Park and would need to be extended to serve full development, with a lift station near 200th and 18th noted as the eastern extent of the sewer infrastructure.
Commissioners asked about site dimensions, buffers, the presence of overhead power lines and preservation of live oaks. The applicant said the short frontage depth is about 500 feet, and the parcel divides roughly into a 30-acre square piece and a 20-acre residual area. Staff said the developer has agreed to coordinate on preservation concerns and that site development plans will return to the city for review; the commission approved the land-use amendment (ordinance 2025-11 CPA25-01) and the rezoning (ordinance 2025-12 LDR25-03) on first reading and by quasi-judicial hearing for the rezoning, with unanimous votes.
