Planning director briefs council on Grocery Bandit zone-change request
Summary
Planning Director Joshua Smith asked council whether to initiate a public hearing on a planning-commission-backed rezoning that would convert a partitioned parcel on Gardner Road from light industrial to C-2 commercial, allowing the Grocery Bandit to expand its retail footprint; no appeal was filed to the planning commission decision.
Planning Director Joshua Smith presented a relatively straightforward zone-change request affecting a parcel on Gardner Road that the Grocery Bandit owner wants to combine with adjacent land to expand retail operations. "They want to rezone it, and then they would combine those properties together into 1 commercial lot as it was before," Smith said, explaining the history of a prior partitioning and why the zone adjustment is sought.
Smith noted the site lies in the floodplain and that construction limitations will apply, including foundation elevation requirements handled at construction plan review. The planning commission recommended approval, there were no public comments at that commission hearing and no appeal was filed; Smith said council may either initiate a public hearing or let the planning-commission decision be adopted and bring an ordinance back at the next meeting for a formal vote.
