Yukon approves rezoning and PUD for narrow strip at 221 North 11th Street
Summary
The Yukon City Council approved rezoning of a roughly 100-foot-wide strip at 221 North 11th Street from agricultural to light industrial, adopted an emergency clause and approved a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and preliminary plat with a setback amendment to allow zero feet along the railroad border.
Yukon’s City Council on Feb. 17 approved an ordinance to rezone property at 221 North 11th Street from agricultural to light industrial and adopted an emergency clause to allow immediate application of planned-development restrictions.
Braden Shaver of engineering firm Crafton Tull, representing the applicant Pro Grade Construction LLC, described the parcel as “100 feet wide” and outlined plans for a phased office-warehouse development of small units intended for tradespeople and small businesses. Shaver told the council stormwater management would be addressed in the final plat and that the design divides the site into smaller basins to limit runoff to historic rates.
During questions from council members, city staff and the applicant said official postal addressing had not been finalized and that the legal description locates the strip on the south side of the railroad tracks. Resident Amy McAllister sought clarification about the address and confirmed the council and applicant intend the legal description to govern.
The council voted to adopt an emergency clause after city leaders said the PUD could not be put in place permanently unless the rezoning was effective; the mayor said, “it behooves the city to put this in place as soon as possible,” citing planning commission recommendations and the need to lock in development requirements. The council also moved, seconded and approved an amendment to reduce the north-side setback adjacent to the railroad from 10 feet to 0 feet to provide additional area for access drives and emergency services.
Council members then approved the preliminary plat for the development, with the mayor and other supporters saying the use would provide space for small businesses and that the drawing and phases looked appropriate. No council member recorded opposition on the motions recorded for the rezoning, PUD amendment, or preliminary plat.
Next steps include final plat submission and stormwater details required of the developer; staff noted the final plat will address drainage, access drives and the specific building footprints and that the developer is responsible for meeting city specifications.
