Special Planning Commission Meeting Date: 06/02/2011 By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development 6. 2. Title: Discuss Employment District Concepts for West of Armstrong Boulevard and South of Highway 10 Background: As part of the 2011 Council Strategic Goals, Employment District concepts for West of Armstrong as well as South of Highway 10 (Office Park) were discussed. Notification: None required. Observations: As part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, a new land use designation was created entitled Office Park. An area south of Highway 10 was identified as the location of this office park. In addition, the City has discussed expanding this area to include portions of the undeveloped property west of Armstrong Boulevard and north of Highway 10 near the newly approved Legacy Christian Academy campus. This land use designation was intended to be similar to the City's existing Employment Districts, but with less outside storage and less manufacturing. This area was created to attempt to promote corporate campuses, logistical (warehouse distribution users), etc. The intent of tonight's discussion is to identify permitted uses, bulk standards, and performance standards. A new zoning district will need to be established that reflects these proposed standards. Funding Source: Creation of the new zoning district is being handled as part of regular staff duties. A portion of the drafting may be assigned to the City's planning consultant. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council and Planning Commission identify zoning standards for the Office Park land use designation. Committee Action: Based on discussion.
