Ordinance Rezoning Property from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense Commercial–Light Industrial District at 1975 East Pershing Road

Staff recommends approval of this draft ordinance for re-zoning. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the petition at the January 2, 2020 meeting. The minutes of the meeting are attached.

The subject site located at 1975 East Pershing Road is currently zoned both M-1 Intense Commercial – Light Industrial District (northern portion) and M-2 Heavy Industrial District (southern portion).  The southern portion of the property proposed to be re-zoned consists of approximately 19,364 square feet and is currently occupied by an industrial building, while the northern portion is occupied by another industrial building.

The petitioner proposes to rezone the southern portion (19,364 square feet) of the site from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense Commercial – Light Industrial District to create a uniform zoning district for the site. 

The subject site is located within an industrial area and rezoning to M-1 Intense Commercial – Light Industrial District should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City.

For further details, please refer to the attached Plan Commission staff report.

The petition has been reviewed by the City’s Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire.
