STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff supports the proposed annexation.
Staff supports the initial zoning of M-1 (Light Manufacturing District). The proposed zoning is consistent with the surrounding development pattern, which includes existing trailer yard/warehousing uses to the north, east, and west, as well as the Pinnacle Industrial Center to the south. In addition, the subject tract is part of a larger tract already zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing District) and currently operating as a trailer yard.
IMPACT ANALYSIS
M-1 (Light Manufacturing District):
The purpose of the M-1 Light Manufacturing District is to encourage the development of manufacturing and wholesale business establishments, which are clean quiet, and free of hazardous or objectionable elements, such as noise, odor, dust, smoke or glare. Research activities are encouraged. This district is further designed to act as a transitional use between industrial uses and other less intense and residential uses.
Is this change contrary to the established land pattern?
No. The surrounding area is predominately industrial, including trailer yard/warehousing uses.
Would this change create an isolated zoning district unrelated to surrounding districts?
No. The subject tract is part of a larger tract already zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing District).
Will this change adversely influence living condition in the neighborhood?
No. There are no established residential neighborhoods in the area.
Are there substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with existing zoning?
