PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on September 13, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a heavy equipment sales / service facility in the L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District, and one undeveloped parcel in the R, Rural District. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will permit the expansion of the current facility and proposes less objectionable uses as categorized in the M, Manufacturing District. The site is within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends light industrial uses at this location. The requested L-M, district is appropriate as the proposed manufacturing uses are compatible with the recommendation of the Plan, comparable to those on adjacent properties, and do not add incompatible land uses to the area. The project also includes a concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #3061-2018; CV18-055) to allow gravel surfaces for driveways, aisles, and circulation areas, and to reduce the parking and exterior storage setbacks. The Council variance also includes a site plan that addresses landscaping and buffering along Hilliard Rome Road East to the west and Trabue Road to the north, as well as along the abutting properties to the north.
