Council approves substitute to specific‑plan zoning at Boyd Hilltop Drive to add billboard and modify warehouse size
Summary
The committee approved a substitute to a specific‑plan zoning amendment for property at 535 Boyd Hilltop Drive that permits nonresidential uses accessory to an existing church, allows a warehouse expansion from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, and adds a digital billboard subject to Planning Commission conditions.
The committee approved a substitute to an amendment of a specific‑plan (SP) zoning district for property at 535 Boyd Hilltop Drive that clarifies permitted accessory nonresidential uses for the church on parcel ID 04200001900 and adds a digital billboard to allowed uses.
Planning staff said the SP was previously approved and included sports facilities and a warehouse that has not been built. The substitute adds conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, including limits on billboard height and other controls included in the commission’s recommendation.
Councilmember Applin asked for clarification about the project scope after seeing images that included a soccer field, a billboard and warehouse. Planning staff (Mulligan) explained that the existing SP allowed sports facilities and a warehouse; the warehouse has not been built and the church seeks to expand it from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet and add a digital billboard as an allowed accessory use. Planning staff and the committee noted multiple community meetings had been held about the project.
The committee adopted the substitute (which incorporates the Planning Commission’s conditions) and then approved the bill as substituted by voice vote. The bill author is Councilmember Gamble; the transcript records adoption of the substitute and the bill as substituted but does not show a roll‑call vote.
What to watch: the substitute adds Planning Commission conditions to the SP, including restrictions on billboard height and other criteria. Staff said they had held at least three community meetings on the project; the Planning Commission conditions were added to the substitute to address concerns raised in those processes.
