Planning commission approves rezone for —Alibaba Adventures LLC— site to allow light-manufacturing/warehouse use
Summary
The commission approved a rezone from agricultural-suburban A-1 to Light Manufacturing to match surrounding industrial zoning; the applicant said the intended use is a warehouse. Motion carried 6-0.
The planning commission approved a rezone request from Agricultural-Suburban A-1 to Light Manufacturing (LM) for a 2.04-acre parcel at 610930 Third Street East, known in the application as Alibaba Adventures LLC. The request was presented as consistent with the property—s Future Land Use and adjacent LM zoning.
Bob Schmidt, the applicant—s planner with Land Planning Associates, summarized the request and said the property fits the surrounding industrial pattern. The applicant, Janine Kloiber (owner), spoke briefly and said the intended use is a warehouse; she explained the company name derives from family dogs.
Staff had determined the rezone would be consistent with the comprehensive plan and the land development code. Commissioners asked clarifying questions; there were no callers and no public opposition during the hearing. A motion to approve the rezone was made and was recorded as a first by Commissioner Kaba and second by Commissioner Raisinger; the vote was 6-0 in favor.
The rezone is a quasi-judicial action and included the applicant—s sworn testimony; staff noted the parcel is surrounded by industrial zoning and asked the commission to recommend approval.
