The applicant, My Jax, LLC, requested to rezone a 6.82-acre property from Residential Low Density-60 (RLD-60) and Commercial Community General-2 (CCG-2) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). This change facilitates the expansion of an existing multi-tenant commercial center, anchored by the Apna Bazar international grocery store. The primary purpose of the rezoning is to permit the addition of a butchering and live animal processing facility, supporting the grocery's offering of fresh halal meats. The expansion also includes plans for an additional 23,800 SF of commercial space and 30,000 SF for light industrial use, which encompasses more warehouse/storage space and new retail storefronts. The Planning Department recommended approval with several conditions, such as soundproofing the animal processing area, ensuring all related activities are conducted indoors, and placing limits on the number of live animals stored on-site. Despite a denial recommendation from the local citizen planning advisory committee, the City Council's Land Use & Zoning Committee voted 4-2 to amend and approve the application with conditions.
