ZC26-003 — Planned Development with an Industrial (I) base district and Business Park Overlay, allowing uses such as corporate headquarters, logistics facilities, warehousing/distribution, data processing/hosting, cold storage and food processing, offices, research and development, retail shops, and a hotel/motel. in Burleson, TX
A ~56.4-acre tract at 6885 CR 518 is proposed to rezone from Agricultural to a Planned Development with an Industrial base zoning and Business Park Overlay, designated in the Comp Plan as an Employment Growth Center. This opens the site to industrial/logistics, warehousing, cold storage/food processing, corporate HQ, data centers, office, and R&D uses by-right, with notable developer-friendly flexibility (up to 15% variation in building square footage approvable administratively, and metal panel construction allowed for cold storage buildings). Many heavy/auto/outdoor-storage uses are prohibited, and the PD removes IH-35 Overlay requirements; staff recommends approval, making this a strong opportunity for industrial and logistics developers.
