This ordinance approves the rezoning of approximately 17.81 acres of land located at 0 Pritchard Road and 6453 Robinson Road from Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre) and Residential Low Density-60 (RLD-60) to Industrial Light (IL) zoning. The change allows for future industrial developments, though the land currently remains vacant and undeveloped. The rezoning decision followed a divided opinion among the Planning Commission members, with concerns about the suitability of Robinson Road for truck traffic and the majority of the land being within a floodplain, making it unsuitable for residential development.
The rezoning is significant as it shifts the land use from residential to industrial, potentially impacting the surrounding residential neighborhood and setting a precedent for future developments in the area.
