JDCO development agreement for Daniel Road continued after commissioners raise traffic and neighborhood concerns
Summary
A proposed development agreement for JDCO property on Daniel Road — revised to include a ~3,000 sq ft office and ~14,000 sq ft shop — was continued to March 18 after commissioners raised concerns about precedent, neighborhood character and potential industrial traffic impacts.
The Daniel Planning Commission on Feb. 18 continued consideration of a proposed development agreement for JDCO property on Daniel Road after commissioners said they needed more information on site design, traffic impacts and neighborhood compatibility.
Mark Skousen, representing the property owner, said the proposal is not a rezoning request but a development agreement that would allow a two-story office at the front of the property and a shop behind it. Skousen acknowledged the applicant revised the plan to enlarge the office to approximately 3,000 square feet and the shop to about 14,000 square feet.
Commissioners said the scale and use would alter the character of the residential area along Daniel Road and could introduce industrial traffic in a location they viewed as residential in character. Commissioner Byron Horner said he was uncomfortable asserting that the agreement would not set a precedent. Commissioner Heber Taylor said a commercial building and vehicle shop "would not fit into the residential area." Chair Gary Weight asked commissioners to review prior minutes and recordings for precedent and asked that ideas be sent to Planning Director Eric Bunker.
Commissioner Scott Long moved to continue the development-agreement review to the March 18 Planning Commission meeting so staff and commissioners could develop additional options; Commissioner Horner seconded and the motion passed. The commission asked the applicant and staff to return with revised materials and potential access or traffic solutions for discussion at the next meeting.
