Planning commission reviews special-use request for minerals processing at 538 Louisville Road
Summary
Hein Construction requested a special-use permit to allow minerals-and-earth processing (crushing, grinding, extracting) on two parcels at 538 Louisville Road in an M-2 heavy industrial district; planning staff and the development review committee recommended approval under Section 152.079(d)(2)(c).
The planning and zoning commission heard a special-use application from Hein Construction to permit minerals-and-earth processing on two parcels at 538 Louisville Road, a site currently used for material storage and limited processing, staff said.
"Any construction or activity authorized by this special use approval, if it's approved tonight, must commence within 3 months from tonight," the staff member said, citing the ordinance's timing requirement. The staff briefing noted the property lies in an M-2 heavy industrial district and that the 2019 comprehensive plan shows the area as industrial. The development review committee reviewed the request on March 5, 2025, and recommended approval.
The commission was told M-2 zoning permits uses that can include large areas for raw-material storage and heavy equipment and may carry significant off-site impacts; staff emphasized that the special use, if granted, would be nontransferable and could not be converted to another use at the site. Commissioner S3 moved to approve the application as recorded (PC 250401); the transcript records the motion but does not include a recorded roll-call vote for this item in the provided excerpt.
Next steps noted by staff included a requirement to begin authorized activity within three months of approval or let the special-use approval expire.
