Council amends industrial zoning to allow distribution centers and conditionally approves Perry Industrial Park site plan
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025‑11 to expressly permit distribution/warehousing centers in the I‑1 industrial zoning district and conditionally approved a site plan for a distribution center by BHD Land Development LLC in the Perry Industrial Park, contingent on negotiated on‑ and off‑site improvements.
The City Council approved Ordinance 2025‑11 to amend Chapter 12 of the Perry Municipal Code to add distribution and warehousing centers as a permitted use in the I‑1 Industrial Light Zoning District.
The planning commission had recommended the change; the staff report said the amendment simply made explicit an intended use for the industrial park. The council passed the ordinance by roll call vote.
Separately, the council considered a site plan review filed by Dustin Cleveland, representative of BHD Land Development LLC, for a distribution center on Parcel 7 and Parcel 10 south of John Wayne Boulevard in the Perry Industrial Park. Cleveland told the council, "BHD... is very excited about this project," and said the developer intends to begin construction at the end of this year with an opening next summer.
Council members and staff discussed on‑ and off‑site improvements, including the condition of John Wayne Boulevard and a frontage road on the property. Staff said Dustin's team had pulled core samples of the road and would send them to the project's engineer, Matt Coe, for recommendations on pavement profiles and curb and gutter needs. The council moved and seconded a conditional approval: site plan approval contingent on successful negotiation of required on‑ and off‑site improvements between the city and the developer.
The ordinance (2025‑11) and the conditional site plan were approved by roll call votes; the site plan approval explicitly allowed staff to finish negotiations on required improvements and make them conditions of final approval.
