Axiom Phase 4 site‑plan amendment referred to Planning & Zoning after discussion over chiller and fence variances
Summary
The committee forwarded a petitioner’s request to amend the Axiom Phase 4 site plan at 1201 Human Circle — including a request to place a mechanical chiller in a corner side yard and an 8'6" screening fence — to the Planning & Zoning Commission for public hearing.
Chairman Hopkins presented petition 2026‑10 (Axiom Phase 4) asking for a site‑plan amendment at 1201 Human Circle. The petitioner requests a variance to locate a mechanical chiller in a corner side yard and to install an 8‑foot‑6‑inch screen fence 24 feet from the property line; the zoning code normally restricts mechanical equipment and fence heights in corner side yards in industrial districts.
Staff member Christie explained the building was developed as speculative space and Axiom became the tenant later in the build‑out, producing phased layout changes that required later modifications. Hopkins and staff noted the chiller will be screened with evergreen shrubs and an 8'6" fence; the petitioner said the on‑the‑ground solution is a cost‑saving alternative to rooftop equipment. The committee agreed to forward the petition to the Planning & Zoning Commission for a public hearing to allow neighbors and interested parties to weigh in before the board takes final action.
