Mesa Verde proposal includes six large warehouses totaling about 4 million sq. ft.; building specs detailed
Summary
Staff presented six industrial buildings in the proposed Mesa Verde business park totaling roughly 4,000,000 gross square feet, with individual buildings ranging from about 614,300 to 717,230 square feet and full site plans and conditional use permits requested for each building.
Planning staff described six development plan reviews and conditional use permits for industrial buildings totaling approximately 4,000,000 square feet across planning areas 2,4,5,6,7 and 8.
Staff listed building‑specific sizes during the presentation: Planning Area 2 as a 717,230 gross square‑foot warehouse; Planning Area 4 a 702,000 gsq ft building; Planning Area 5 roughly 700,000 gsq ft with about 14,000 square feet of office and 120 loading dock doors; Planning Areas 6–8 in the 614,300–717,600 gsq ft range. Staff emphasized that the business park component would be accessed primarily from Sandalwood Drive and that development plan reviews and CUPs for the business park are part of the package.
The applicant and staff repeatedly described the business park as employment‑generating and potentially including logistics or fulfillment uses, while staff cautioned that industrial occupancy is speculative and that projected sales tax generation was not included in the fiscal analysis. The commission asked several questions about market demand and the timing of off‑site improvements that must be completed before certain certificates of occupancy will be issued.
