The Metro Council rezoned a 9.82-acre parcel located approximately 1,780 feet southwest of Couchville Pike on Reynolds Road from R20 (Low-Density Residential) to IR (Industrial Research). The rezoning was requested by Fulmer Lucas Engineering on behalf of the Jerry R. & Jacqueline A. Bellar Charitable Remainder Trust and will allow for scientific research facilities, light manufacturing, warehousing, and related office uses. The change shifts the property from its previous single-family residential envelope to a district supportive of industrial research and development, aligning with Subarea 13’s long-term employment goals. The site will now support campus-style office and lab buildings under IR district standards, including open space, screening, and stormwater management. Driveway access will conform to Metro’s transportation plan, facilitating efficient truck and employee ingress. The rezoning triggers site plan review procedures under the Unified Development Ordinance and requires compliance with Metro Water Services for water quality. Future development may include research parks or distribution centers that leverage proximity to major logistics corridors. By replacing low-density residential zoning, the decision responds to market demand for land suited to innovation-driven employers in the Antioch–Priest Lake area.
