Summary

The commission approved re‑zoning and a special‑use permit for a roughly 10.15‑acre parcel at 330 Old Hole Road, following a presentation from the applicant and planning commission recommendation. Commissioners cited location, buffers and site plan conditions in support of approval.

The commission approved a rezoning and a special‑use permit for 330 Old Hole Road on April 7, allowing industrial operations (including mobile batch plants) with binding conditions and preserved wooded buffers.

A WNA Engineering representative (Bryce) told the commission the project would remove unused 2004 binding plans and allow a more technically appropriate heavy‑industrial use. He told the commission the property is near Loop and highways 29 and 72 and is "far removed from any residences that could be adversely impacted," with plans retaining large wooded buffers around the proposed batch plants.

Commissioner Thornton moved to approve the rezoning and Commissioner Taylor seconded; the vote on both the rezoning and the special‑use approval carried without recorded opposition. Commissioners noted the site was suited to industrial activity and praised conditions drafted by planners and the applicant.

The approvals are conditioned on the plan and the special‑use requirements. Any subsequent development or permit for on‑site operations will require compliance with those conditions and standard inspections.
