Planning commission recommends reverting expired River Park Circle PUD to industrial manufacturing
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended that an expired PUD on River Park Circle revert to industrial manufacturing zoning so the parcel can be marketed for industrial development; there were no public objections at the hearing.
The Marquette Planning Commission recommended that the City Commission rezone an expired planned unit development (PUD) parcel on River Park Circle back to Industrial Manufacturing after staff concluded the PUD had expired under city code for failure to submit a final site plan within two years.
Staff told the commission the parcel lies at the end of River Park Circle adjacent to the Kaufman Soccer Complex and is characterized by uneven topography and historical industrial activity; staff described earlier efforts to develop the city’s industrial park and said the parcel is appropriate to return to the industrial classification used by surrounding properties.
No written correspondence or public testimony was submitted for the item. Commission discussion noted the city originally invested funds to create the industrial park and commissioners expressed support for restoring a zoning classification that better matches other parcels in the industrial park. The applicant was not present at the hearing but, according to staff, intends to submit a development application after the rezoning is completed.
A commissioner moved to find the proposed rezoning consistent with the Community Master Plan and the Land Development Code §54‑1405 and recommended City Commission approval. The motion was seconded; the commission voted in favor and the item will be forwarded to the City Commission for final action.
