Douglas County’s planning staff presented a combined rezoning and special‑use package for a property previously approved for light‑industrial uses but with conditions, seeking removal of some earlier conditions and approval of contractor’s office and outdoor storage on Bullard/Rockhouse Road. Staff recommended approval with three primary conditions: required connection to the public sewer system with design review by the Douglas County Water & Sewer Authority; prohibition on data center uses on the site; and an opaque screen (minimum six feet) with decorative materials and landscaping to screen outdoor storage from view.

Applicant representatives told the board they reduced the developable footprint from a previously approved large warehouse to a smaller 26,000‑square‑foot building and that their traffic memo projects a reduction in vehicle and truck counts compared with prior approvals. Applicant representatives reported a constructive meeting with Parkside neighborhood representatives who emphasized concerns about trucks turning into residential areas and requested that access be oriented to avoid Rockhouse Road; the applicant said it would work with GDOT and the county to direct truck traffic and landscape the site per Quality Growth standards.

After the public exchange and technical clarifications (stormwater, screening and sewer connection), Planning & Zoning and the Board approved Z2025‑85 and S2025‑86 with the staff‑read conditions. Commissioners emphasized enforcement of truck routing and monitoring to prevent truck traffic from entering adjacent neighborhoods; staff noted DRC and DOT involvement during site plan review to mitigate off‑site impacts.

Next steps: applicant must submit detailed site engineering, comply with the sewer‑connection condition and provide a landscaping/screening plan to DRC and the county arborist; staff will confirm compliance before permits are issued.
