Planning commission unanimously approves industrial plan amendment and three site plans; Bank of America approved with landscape condition
Summary
After recommending approval of a town-initiated rezoning, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved an industrial plan‑development amendment (Case 25‑PDAPDA4) and three site plans — DHL Building 3 (Case 25‑SP‑10), DHL Building 4 (Case 25‑SP‑11) and a Bank of America branch (Case 25‑SPP8) — with a condition allowing landscape modifications to accommodate a town monument sign.
Following the rezoning discussion, the North Lake Planning and Zoning Commission heard three development applications and approved them unanimously.
Staff described an amendment to an existing industrial plan‑development district covering approximately 57.325 acres at the southeast corner of Harmonson Road and McPherson Drive (Case 25‑PDAPDA4). The amendment aligns permitted uses with nearby plan developments, increases maximum building height from 65 to 120 feet, adjusts floor‑area ratio and parking standards, and refines screening and fencing requirements. With no public comment on the amendment, the commission moved and voted unanimously to recommend approval to council.
The commission then approved the site plan for DHL Northlake Building 3 (Case 25‑SP‑10), a proposed roughly 368,280‑sq.‑ft. warehouse on a 22.589‑acre tract. Staff noted the plan meets the planned‑development standards and provides 401 parking spaces where 74 are required. A similar unanimous approval followed for DHL Northlake Building 4 (Case 25‑SP‑11), a larger warehouse of about 1,114,760 sq. ft. on 74.713 acres.
Finally, the commission approved a site plan for a new 4,320‑sq.‑ft. Bank of America branch on a 1.704‑acre lot in Harvest Town Center (Case 25‑SPP8). Staff proposed and the commission accepted a condition allowing future minor modifications to the landscape plan if necessary to accommodate a proposed Town entry monument sign without additional Planning and Zoning approval.
All four items will proceed to Town Council as applicable for final action or administrative next steps.
