Living Spaces Furniture LLC has petitioned to rezone a 20.95-acre vacant, wooded parcel from ML-2 (Manufacturing & Logistics 2) to ML-1(CD) (Manufacturing & Logistics 1, Conditional). The proposal allows for the development of a 165,000-square-foot retail goods showroom and an accessory restaurant of up to 2,000 square feet. The site is located north of Tyvola Road near Interstate 77. The site plan illustrates the proposed building envelope, parking areas, and loading docks. Key commitments include a 100-foot Class A landscape yard along the northern boundary and the installation of an 8-foot planting strip and a 12-foot multi-use path along the Tyvola Road frontage. City staff recommends approval, as the petition is consistent with the 2040 Policy Map and is more compatible with adjacent office and commercial uses than the current industrial zoning. Approval is contingent upon resolving an outstanding environmental issue related to a tree survey.
