CDA adopts site-plan resolution for Yaskawa manufacturing facility in Franklin Business Park
Summary
The Franklin City Community Development Authority adopted a resolution approving a site plan for a single‑story precast manufacturing facility for Yaskawa America Inc. at 4800 W. Ashland Way; the city attorney cited Planned Development District Number 18 as the authority for the action.
Franklin City’s Community Development Authority voted July 23 to adopt a resolution approving a site plan for a new manufacturing facility for Yaskawa America Inc. at 4800 West Ashland Way (tax key 9000009018). The authority's approval followed a staff recommendation and a reading of the resolution by the city attorney, who cited Planned Development District Number 18 as granting the CDA authority to review and approve the site and building plans.
During the presentation, staff described the proposed facility as a single-story precast manufacturing building described in the meeting transcript as "1 thou 100,000 square foot" and said the design would include about 25,000 square feet of mezzanine space. Staff also reported there are no wetlands or woodlands on the parcel and said there is no proposed outdoor storage. "What staff review is, permitted use, setbacks... which complies," the staff member said, and recommended approval.
The city attorney read the resolution text and noted the Planned Development District Number 18 ordinance authorizes the CDA's role in administering the applicable laws and approving site and building plans. A motion to adopt the resolution was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The staff presentation noted that architectural, parking and landscape details are controlled by the Franklin Business Park review board (which had approved the design elements presented) while the CDA's staff review focused on land-use compliance. The site-plan approval is final from the CDA; any necessary subsequent steps, permits or council actions were not specified in the meeting record.
