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.
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.
RP26-008 — Industrial Warehouse Distribution development
This is a rezoning of ~56.4 acres along IH-35 from Agriculture to Planned Development to enable Industrial Warehouse Distribution use, within an area designated as an Employment Growth Center in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval to City Council, so this is a viable site for industrial/logistics developers, though platting, a site plan, and civil engineering reviews are still required before development. Note that adjacent residential use is a stated concern and staff wants added landscaping and buffering along the property lines.
ZC26-005 — Multi-family residential development
A ~32.3-acre tract near the planned Hooper Business Park would be rezoned from Agricultural/Planned Development to MF2 multi-family, allowing up to 24 units/acre and buildings up to three stories, positioning the site for a sizable multi-family residential development. Staff finds it aligns with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval, and the site is largely undeveloped surrounded by PD and ETJ land, so a developer targeting multi-family or workforce housing tied to the business park should pay close attention. Note that a separate concurrent code update (Item B) proposes replacing MF2 with a new MF-18 district capped at 18 units/acre, which could affect future density expectations at this location.
