Summary

The commission approved GMI’s site plan to add two approximately 40‑by‑44‑foot sports courts, contingent on verification that the existing on‑site retention system can accommodate the new courts and related drainage (case ZA26Dash0003).

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a zoning change and site plan for GMI to install two sports courts behind the company’s property in the SP2 district, with the approval conditioned on verification that the site’s retention/drainage system can accommodate the new impervious surface.

Staff presented the site plan and lighting exhibit (fixtures 18 feet from the property line) and said the proposed courts are approximately 40 by 44 feet each. Kirk Chagrin, CFO of GMI, described the company as an employee‑owned drywall subcontractor that values employee wellness and said the courts support that goal.

Commissioners focused questions on drainage capacity; staff and the applicant agreed to confirm on‑site retention performance before final building/permit actions. The motion (case ZA26Dash0003) passed 5‑0 with the drainage verification stipulation.
