HomeMy WebLinkAboutApril 5, 2007 P&Z Minutes Meridian Planning & Zoning April 5, 2007 Page 8 of 64 Rohm: I would concur with Commissioner Moe on that. Commissioner O'Brien. O'Brien: Well, I -- the only question I would have -- I'm not seeing it on the map -- would be other zoning for heavy industrial in that area at all. Is there going to be any kind of conflict for even light industrial in and around that area -- is there going to be some kind of a conflict of anything from traffic to noise to whatever. Hess: Chairman Rohm, Members of the Commission, Commissioner O'Brien, this effectively is the remaining industrial property in this area, so once this is rezoned to C-G, only those principally permitted allowed uses will be allowed. O'Brien: Okay. I wasn't as familiar with that area, so I just wanted to know where -- so, thank you. Hess: And Commission members, I do have the answer for Commissioner Siddoway. It looks like light industry is conditionally allowed within the C-G district. So, they would have to come in for a Conditional Use Permit if they wanted to go back to light manufacturing. Siddoway: Thank you. Rohm: Okay. Good. Any final comments before we move to continue this item? Siddoway: I have none. Rohm: Okay. Could I get a motion to continue Items 11, 12 and 13 to the regularly scheduled meeting of April 19th, 2007. Baird: Mr. Chair and Members of the Commission, just to clarify, were we going to get a separate staff report on the west property? Was that included or did you want to do that before we continued it? So, we will continue 11 and 12 at this time, then. Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move to continue file numbers CPA 07-004 and RZ 07-005 to the hearing date of April 19th, 2007. Siddoway: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded to continue Items CPA 07-004 and RZ 07-005 to the regularly scheduled meeting of April 19th, 2007. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 13: Public Hearing: CPA 07-005 Request for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to change the land use Meridian Planning & Zoning April 5, 2007 Page 9 of 64 designation from Industrial to Commercial for Jabil West Comprehensive Plan Amendment by the City of Meridian Planning Department - 915 E. Central Drive (Lot 2, Block 1, Jabil Subdivision): Rohm: Okay. At this time could we get a staff report on CPA 07-005. Hess: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. This subject Comprehensive Plan amendment application proposes to amend the future land use map of the Comprehensive Plan to change the existing industrial designation to commercial designation for 19 acres. The property is located on the south side of Central Drive again at 915 East Central Drive and is currently referenced as Lot 2, Block 1, of the Jabil Subdivision and that is the site right here just to the west. The property lies within Meridian city limits and is also zoned light industrial. There are no other annexation rezone or plat applications associated with this request. This property has frontage on East Central Drive as you can see. However, as no -- no development is proposed at this time. So, therefore, upon rezoning and platting at a future date the parcel will also have cross-access to Lot 1, Block 1, of the Jabil Subdivision, also providing additional means of accessing this parcel. The site is bordered on two sides by properties which are zoned C-G and that is to the north and to the west as you can see. And the owner of the adjacent subdivision, as we just heard, is requesting a future land use map amendment to commercial for this site as well. Therefore, this subject site would potentially be considered an island of industrial within -- within an area that is developing for commercial, retail, and office uses. Also, the highly visible location of this property from Interstate 84 and East Central Drive, which is a commercial collector roadway, with this -- along with this existing commercial zoning to the east and west makes the property a good candidate for commercial uses, rather than industrial. Approval of this subject CPA would allow the applicant to potentially obtain any of the four commercial zoning designations and they include general retail service and commercial district, which is C-G, which allows the broadest mix of retail, office, and service uses, as well as C-N, C-C, and L-O. Therefore, staff supports the subject Comprehensive Plan amendment and we believe that a commercial land use designation is more appropriate for the subject property and would be in the best interest of the city. And that is all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Rohm: Thank you. Any questions of staff? Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward and at least lend support to the staff report or are you fine with -- oh, you're fine. Okay. I'm sorry. From the audienceSrad says they are fine with the staff report as presented. Okay. Commissioner Moe, do you have some-- Mae: I have no other comments to make. Siddoway: Should you ask if there is any -- Rohm: Well -- and there is nobody that has signed up for this, but, again, as with the other projects that have been opened tonight, if there is somebody that would like to Meridian Planning & Zoning April 5, 2007 Page 10 of 64 come forward and speak, now is that time. Okay. Good. Commissioner Newton- Huckabay. Newton-Huckabay: I have nothing to add. I can see the importance of rezoning both of these at the same time, so -- Rohm: Seems appropriate. Commissioner Siddoway. Siddoway: I agree. Rohm: Commissioner O'Brien? Okay. Good. End of comments. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Rohm: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move to continue file number CPA 07-005 to the hearing date of April 19th, 2007. Newton-Huckabay: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded to continue Items CPA 07-005 to the regularly scheduled meeting of April 19th, 2007. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rohm: Okay. Good. Before we open up any of these additional public hearings tonight, the thing that we want to get input on tonight from the public -- and we are very interested in your comments -- is specifically the staff will present each one of these projects as they see this amendment moving forward and what we would like is we would like to have comments specific to the staff report, so that we can kind of keep your comments and their presentation all on the same page. And so that's the way we would like to work these. And, then, the second thing is there are a lot of people here tonight and we want to give everybody an opportunity to speak and, typically, that the way these hearings work is there is a little light meter up here that will come on and each individual will be given three minutes to make their specific point and if, in fact, it takes a little bit longer than the three minutes by all means we certainly want to hear everything that you have to say, but we also want to give everybody that's in the audience an opportunity to speak their part. So, we would appreciate it if you would do your very best to keep your comments within that three minute time frame.
