Council hears first reading to rezone 306 East Frontage Road to Manufacturing/Logistics; lay‑down yard cited as likely use
Summary
Council took first reading of Ordinance 19‑2025 to rezone three parcels at 306 East Frontage Road from Commercial Corridor to Manufacturing/Logistics. Staff and the planning commission recommended approval; the applicant described the near‑term use as a lay‑down yard, while planners noted the district allows a broad range of industrial uses.
Andrew Bowles presented Ordinance 19‑2025, a rezoning request for three parcels at 306 East Frontage Road that are currently zoned Commercial Corridor and lie adjacent to I‑85. The applicant is seeking Manufacturing/Logistics zoning to accommodate an immediate planned use as a lay‑down yard.
Bowles explained the existing zoning, the future land‑use designation, the current and proposed zoning standards, and the range of uses allowed in the Manufacturing/Logistics district. He told council that staff and the planning commission recommended approval.
When asked what further uses might be enabled under the proposed district, Bowles listed several potential uses contained in the zoning use table, including light and heavy industrial uses, outdoor storage, wholesale trade, recycling, self‑storage, solar farms and warehouse uses, emphasizing his earlier comment that the lay‑down yard was the apparent intended near‑term use.
Council received the first reading and voted to move the item forward; no final zoning action was taken at the Aug. 12 meeting.
