An application by JCG Holdings LLC for an approximately 8.8‑acre gravel laydown yard and maintenance storage across three parcels (split zoned I‑2 and C‑2) was deferred by the planning commission to allow the applicant time to produce a traffic study and address stormwater/dust‑control concerns.

Staff noted that although I‑2 zoning allows industrial laydown yards in the industrial portion of the site, the C‑2 area does not, so the developer is proposing to use the I‑2 portion for outdoor storage and to preserve buffering along Madison Street. Stormwater staff raised concerns that unconsolidated gravel can mobilize fine particles into sheet flow and streams; staff recommended landscape buffering and a dust‑control regime. Commissioners concluded that the record lacked a traffic study sufficient to assess truck circulation and recommended a 90‑day deferral to allow the applicant to submit additional engineering materials.

Next steps: applicant to provide a traffic study and revised mitigation measures; staff will schedule the item for the next available hearing after materials are submitted.
