A rezoning petition (2024-117) by Steelfab, Inc. was approved by the City Council on February 17, 2025. The petition changes the zoning of approximately 29.80 acres from ML-1(ANDO) (Manufacturing and Logistics-1, Airport Noise Disclosure Overlay) and N2-B ANDO (Neighborhood 2-B, Airport Noise Disclosure Overlay) to OG (General Office). The site is located along Denver Avenue, east of Mulberry Church Road, and north of Wilkinson Boulevard. The petition proposes to allow all uses permitted by-right and under prescribed conditions in the OG zoning district on a parcel that is mostly vacant with one building. The Staff Recommendation was for approval, despite being inconsistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for Manufacturing and Logistics Place Type. The rationale for approval cited changing land use trends in the area towards office spaces and mixed-use developments, consistency with adjacent business parks, and the site's proximity to the airport supporting office uses. The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend approval, concurring with the staff's reasoning. The approval revises the recommended place type to Campus from Manufacturing and Logistics.
