The petition proposes the rezoning of 7.4 acres from ML-2 (Manufacturing & Logistics-2) to IMU(CD) (Innovation Mixed-Use, Conditional) to allow for the retention and expansion of existing office uses, including a 4,500 square foot expansion. The plan prohibits certain uses incompatible with the Manufacturing & Logistics character of the area, such as residential dwellings, hotels, and nightclubs. The rezoning will allow for the continued operation of the business, Crowder Construction, while facilitating job growth in the region.
This decision supports economic growth by allowing the expansion of a business in a strategically located industrial corridor, contributing to job creation and supporting the area's logistics and industrial sectors. The rezoning aligns with goals for diverse and resilient economic opportunity.
