Council approves Van Born industrial PUD to reuse former Maslow building
Summary
The Taylor City Council approved case 26-20 (PUD-21001 Van Born) to rezone and redevelop the former Maslow Building into a mixed-use industrial PUD allowing specialized self-storage, an event/conference center and professional office space, with the developer pledging to preserve the existing building.
Taylor’s City Council voted on June 16 to approve case number 26-20 (PUD-21001 Van Born), clearing the way to reuse the former Maslow Building as an industrial Planned Unit Development that will include specialized self-storage, an event and conference center, and professional and medical office space.
The rezoning and PUD agreement were introduced during the consent portion of the meeting. A city representative (speaker 2) told the council the applicant intends to preserve the existing structure while adapting the site for new businesses, saying the proposal would begin a series of improvements at the location.
Council moved and seconded the approval during the business agenda and the motion carried unanimously. The council did not record conditions or modifications in the meeting transcript. Details on specific site plan conditions, required permits or timelines for construction were not provided in the record.
Why it matters: the approval permits a reuse strategy for a locally significant structure and opens the property to commercial uses that could bring new businesses and jobs to the area while retaining the building’s character.
What’s next: the developer must complete any required site-plan approvals, building permits and other administrative steps before construction or changes to the property proceed; those subsequent approvals were not discussed in detail at the June 16 meeting.
