Title
Application #PL2026-261 - REZONING from AG to PI and CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Arborside Planned Industrial District, approximately 300 acres on the west of NE Todd George Parkway, located at the intersection of NE Todd George Parkway and NE Leinweber Road; Newmark Zimmer, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to rezone approximately 303 acres between NE Todd George Pkwy and I-470 in the vicinity of the intersection of NE Todd George Pkwy and NE Leinweber Rd from AG to PI. The rezoning includes a conceptual development plan showing 2,961,370 sq. ft. of industrial development on the subject property. The industrial square footage and building layout depicted on the conceptual plan is illustrative only and shall require separate development plan approval under a future application. It should be noted that per UDO Section 2.300.B.2, preliminary development plan approval is not required to develop PI-zoned property, provided that no modification to any UDO regulation is requested. Development of PI-zoned property is administratively approved by staff via a final development plan, provided there is compliance with all UDO regulations. In short, a preliminary development plan application will only come before the Planning Commission and City Council for approval for any development phase of the PI-zoned property where a modification to the UDO is requested.
Approval of the conceptual development plan does not constitute approval of a preliminary or final development plan for any phase shown on the conceptual development plan. By approving the conceptual development plan, the City is preserving to itself full discretion to review a preliminary and/or final development plan for each phase shown on the conceptual development plan, or for the entire property, as may be applicable, including review and consideration of all criteria governing preliminary development plans as set forth in the UDO.
Proposed Planning Commission Motion:
I move to recommend APPROVAL of Application #PL2026-261 - REZONING from AG to PI and CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Arborside Planned Industrial District, approximately 300 acres on the west of NE Todd George Pkwy, located at the intersection of NE Todd George Pkwy and NE Leinweber Rd; Newmark Zimmer, applicant.
