Commission approves prioritization of industrial and retail nodes
Summary
The Franklin Economic Development Commission voted to accept an updated prioritization of industrial and retail nodes after staff and commissioners reconciled language in the draft and discussed constraints on specific parcels; the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition.
Commissioners moved to accept the updated prioritization of industrial and retail nodes prepared by staff and incorporated revisions proposed by commissioners. A member made the motion and it was seconded; the chair called for the question and recorded the voice vote: "All in favor, say aye," and members responded with aye and no opposition was recorded.
Commissioners discussed leaving the area around South 76th and Ryan as commercial and mixed use unless a substantial opportunity arises to convert it to industrial, and staff noted water service and watershed constraints limit development options in some eastern parcels. The commission did not identify any amendments to the prioritization at the time of the vote and approved the recommendation.
