feet south of the intersection of Greens Prairie :Road and State Highway 6, from A-O

Senior PlannerKee presented the staff report and recommended approval of the proposed
rezoning. The. thoroughfare plan shows Spearmanasa minor arterial and another minor
arterial is shown generally through the.. mostsouthem portion of the property. A. recent Traffic
Impact Analysis of the Pebble Creek Subdivision indicated that a more appropriate location for
an east/west minor arterial would be further to the south.. Staff agrees that an alignment
intersecting with either Nantucket Drive or Snug Drive... would be'. a better spacing. This
initiated rezoning will enable businesses interested in locating in the City's Business Park to do
so without having to. go through a two month rezoning process,. The .M-l Planned Industrial
district is designed for light. manufacturing, non-polluting industries. Plant. exteriors and
construction materials, site design . and layout, facades, lighting and 'apparrntarchitectural
aspects are subject to review by the Project Review Committee. Depending on ,the · char~cter of
a specific project this district is designed to be compatible with adjacent land uses. The other
available industrial district is designed for activities which generate nuisance characteristics and
are not compatible with residential or lower intensity 'commercial land uses. . .As prqperties
develop in the business park, it may become necessary to COme back and ytilize additional
zoning districts, but as a general application, M-l is best suited based. on what we know! at this
time.
