This rezoning petition, 2024-142, by Sait's LLC sought to change the zoning of approximately 1.50 acres from ML-1 (Manufacturing and Logistics-1) to TOD-NC (Transit Oriented Development - Neighborhood Center). The site is currently occupied by a commercial industrial building. Staff recommended approval of the petition, and the Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval, adopting a consistency statement despite the proposed zoning being inconsistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for Manufacturing and Logistics Place Type. The rationale for approval cited recent rezonings in the surrounding area to TOD, the suitability of TOD-NC for transit corridors, its proximity to the Tom Hunter LYNX Blue Line station, and its alignment with UDO goals by allowing a mix of residential, commercial, and retail spaces while reducing car dependency. The approval will revise the recommended place type from Manufacturing and Logistics to Community Activity Center.
