This ordinance rezones approximately 15.87± acres located at 5355 Pickettville Road in Council District 10 from Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre) District to Industrial Light (IL) District under companion Small-Scale Amendment L-5998-24C, ensuring consistency with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. It allows light industrial development on site, including warehousing, distribution, light manufacturing, research and development, and related office uses. The application was filed by Michael Sittner, Esq. on behalf of property owner Smart and Son Investments, LLC, and was reviewed by the Planning and Development Department, Planning Commission, and the Land Use and Zoning Committee, all of which provided advisory opinions in favor of the rezoning. The ordinance includes a contingency delaying effectiveness until thirty-one days after the companion amendment is adopted and requires final approval from the state land planning agency if challenged. It further clarifies that the rezoning does not exempt the owner or developer from any other applicable local, state, or federal laws, and that all necessary permits and approvals must be obtained prior to development. This action aligns the site’s zoning classification with the updated Future Land Use Map and positions the property to accommodate strategic industrial growth.
