The petition requests the rezoning of 14.1 acres from N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A) to ML-2(CD) (Manufacturing and Logistics 2, Conditional) to permit up to 75,000 square feet of manufacturing and logistics uses on a vacant site located along the I-85 Service Road. The site is strategically positioned near the I-85 and I-485 interchange, with access limited to the I-85 Service Road. The petition commits to a minimum 100-foot Class A landscape yard along the southern property boundary to buffer adjacent residential areas and prohibits a variety of noxious uses typically allowed in ML-2 zoning.
This decision facilitates the development of industrially zoned land in an area that is well-suited for logistics and manufacturing uses due to its proximity to major transportation routes. It supports the city's economic growth objectives by creating diverse and resilient economic opportunities.
