Summary

After a public hearing and a developer presentation, the council rezoned two parcels (Property IDs 38600 and 38601) from Industrial to Planned Development District to allow a mix of uses under development standards proposed by the applicant Shajal Bashir.

The Commerce City Council approved a rezoning on Jan. 20 to reclassify two properties (Property IDs 38600 and 38601, including an address referenced as 2066 Wolf City Drive) from Industrial District to Planned Development District (PDD).

Staff explained that a PDD permits a customized set of development standards that overlay the existing zoning and allows a mix of uses the developer proposes. The rezoning had been noticed and reviewed by the planning and zoning commission; staff recommended approval and invited the developer to address the council. Developer Shajal Bashir (representing Commerce Texas Developers LLC) described the project as thoughtfully planned, aligned with the city's growth plans, and said the team had worked with staff and engineers to assess infrastructure impacts.

Following a public hearing with Mr. Bashir speaking in support, a councilmember moved to approve the rezoning and the motion carried on voice vote. Staff said next steps include finalizing PDD development standards and future reviews by planning and zoning and the council as details are refined.

The transcript does not include a completed, codified PDD ordinance text; council action approved the rezoning in concept pursuant to the public hearing and second reading recorded in the transcript.
