Board transmits Triangle Farms land‑use amendment to state, with sub‑area policies limiting outdoor storage
Loading...
Summary
The commission voted to transmit a future land use amendment that would change a rural AG‑5 parcel to MXD with sub‑area policies (25% open space, prohibition on primary outdoor storage, conditional allowances for indoor manufacturing and data centers).
The Board approved transmittal of a future land use map amendment for the Triangle Farms property, changing the designation from AG‑5 to Mixed‑Use Development (MXD) with specific sub‑area policies.
Senior planner Irene Sedlmeier summarized changes including a required rezoning to Planned Nonresidential Development (PNRD) for nonresidential uses, a 25% minimum open space requirement (excluding stormwater), and specific prohibitions against primary outdoor storage or vehicle sales. The proposal added conditional nonresidential uses, including data centers (as conditional) and indoor manufacturing with screening requirements.
Applicant counsel Zach Sasser noted outreach and that residential entitlements would remain consistent with current zoning for two parcels (about 20 acres) subject to access standards. The Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval; staff recommended transmittal to the State Land Planning Agency.
Outcome: the Board voted to transmit the amendment; staff will forward materials to the state agency as part of the formal review process.
