Advisory plan commission approves 613,714‑sq‑ft Avon Logistics building
Summary
The commission approved DPR 26-07 for Building 6 in the Avon Logistics PUD, a roughly 613,714‑square‑foot industrial building on a planned Lot 3; staff said the design meets PUD and UDO standards, including parking and landscaping, and commissioners approved the plan with standard conditions.
The Avon Advisory Plan Commission voted to approve DPR 26-07, permitting construction of a 613,714‑square‑foot industrial building (referred to as Building 6) on Lot 3 of the Avon Logistics planned unit development.
Staff described the 48.1‑acre Lot 3 site and said the plan conforms to the Avon Logistics PUD and the town’s Unified Development Ordinance. The presentation noted site features including required pedestrian connections from County Road 100 South, increased parkway trees along the roadway, and a landscape easement that provides a 40‑foot buffer on the parcel’s east side adjacent to the single‑family SunChase subdivision. Staff also reported the plan shows 393 parking spaces, above the UDO’s minimum of 205 spaces, and said no waivers were requested.
Commissioners asked specifically about parking history on earlier buildings and the buffer along the east property line. Staff explained the landscape easement, an intention to preserve existing woods in the northeast corner, and a detention pond whose banks will be planted with native vegetation to increase the spatial buffer between the industrial site and nearby homes.
Petitioner Ryan Lindley of Banning Engineering described additional buffer work: a 4‑foot earthen mound, native trees, and plantings designed to attract pollinators at the request of neighborhood residents. Lindley said staff had required a pedestrian connection and revised landscape sheets to meet parkway tree standards.
Committee member (speaker 8) moved to approve DPR 26-07, noting the plan ‘‘satisfied all the requirements for a development plan review under state law’’ and recommending approval subject to the conditions in the staff report. The commission approved the DPR by roll‑call vote.
The approval clears the way for Building 6 to proceed to subsequent permitting and final plat steps (the final plat for Lot 3 is under separate administrative review).
