BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner: Robert W. Batsel, Jr., Gooding & Batsel, PLLC
• Property Owner: Paglia & Associates, LLC
• The subject property is currently developed with a Recycling Center, which is an allowed use within both the current (M-1) and proposed (M-2) zoning districts.
• The Petitioner is requesting to rezone the subject property from M-1, Light Industrial, to M-2, Medium Industrial, with the intention of reclassifying the subject property as a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). MRFs are only permitted in the M-2 and M-3 zoning districts and must comply with the supplementary criteria contained under LDR 122-1225.
• The Petitioner has submitted a separate application for a Code Amendment to Section 122-1225 to amend the supplementary district criteria for MRFs; and an application for a lot reconfiguration to combine the subject property with the southern-adjacent parcel, which is already zoned M-2.
• The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request at the September 11, 2023, meeting.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The M-2, Medium Industrial zoning district is consistent with the Employment Center future land use classification. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval of the request.
