The Board approved rezoning two parcels totaling ±8.255 acres from General Commercial and A-10 to Light Industrial with proffered conditions to guide development.

Staff estimated the development would generate about 220 vehicle trips per day at full buildout, while proffers require building design cohesion and access considerations.
