Summary

The commission approved rezoning 7.4 acres of an 8.76-acre tract at 2487 Highway 501 E. from Highway Commercial to Light Industrial to eliminate a split zoning line created at annexation; the applicant was present and there was no public opposition recorded.

The Planning Commission approved a rezoning request on March 5 to reclassify 7.4 acres of an 8.76‑acre tract at 2487 Highway 501 East from Highway Commercial to Light Industrial, a change staff said simply removes a split zoning that resulted from the property's 2006 annexation.

Staff (speaker 2) explained that the first 300 feet from Highway 501 is currently zoned Highway Commercial while the remainder is Light Industrial; the applicant requested a single, consistent Light Industrial designation for the parcel. The staff presentation said the rezoning does not intensify the property's use but removes a split zoning configuration that the current UDO no longer allows.

The applicant (who is recorded as present by staff and later spoke during public input) was in attendance. The commission opened and closed the public hearing with the applicant as the only speaker. Chair (speaker 1) moved to approve the rezoning; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

What happens next: staff will record the ordinance changes and proceed with the administrative steps required to reflect the new zoning on the city's maps and property records.
