Commission approves specific‑use permit to formalize outdoor storage accessory to long‑standing high‑impact manufacturing use
Summary
The commission approved (7‑0) a specific‑use permit to separate an existing outdoor storage accessory use from a concrete batch/high‑impact manufacturing operation located west of I‑35 West and north of Metro Street; staff said the use aligns with the industrial commerce future land‑use designation and that utilities exist to serve the property.
Assistant planner Bryce Van Arsdale presented S250014 on Feb. 11, describing a request to separate an existing accessory outdoor storage area from its primary use (a concrete batch plant/high‑impact manufacturing site) near I‑35 West. Staff said the use is consistent with the industrial commerce future land‑use designation and conforms with the Denton Development Code's use‑specific standards for outdoor storage; staff also reported that utilities and infrastructure are available and that the project was noticed under state law with no community feedback received.
The public hearing was opened and closed with no speakers. Commissioner McDuff moved to approve the staff recommendation and Commissioner Biggs seconded; Chair Pruitt called the vote and the motion passed 7‑0. Commissioners asked staff to confirm that the existing plant is a legally nonconforming high‑impact manufacturing use that predated later development and that temporary batch‑plant rules (e.g., limits on days of operation) did not apply to this long‑standing operation.
