Summary

Fort Winchester Investment 2, LLC received conditional approval for a 150,000 SF industrial building on a parcel split from 8849 Carpenter Road; approval is contingent on stormwater, shared access and minor subdivision requirements addressed to the City Engineer.

The Planning Commission approved a site plan for a proposed 150,000‑square‑foot industrial building on a parcel split from 8849 Carpenter Road, subject to resolution of engineering and subdivision matters.

Attorney Michael Wahl, representing Fort Winchester Investment 2, LLC, told the Commission the proposed building would be an additional structure west of existing buildings and that the applicant was negotiating with a prospective end user but needed to proceed on a review timeline. Wahl said they "were negotiating an agreement with the end user; they are bringing the item to Planning Commission now due to time constraints." City Engineer Melinda Sprow flagged stormwater, shared access agreements, and minor subdivision requirements; Wahl acknowledged those items and confirmed easements and shared access discussions are underway.

The Commission approved the site plan with the condition that required information be submitted to the City Engineer and other staff prior to permitting.
