Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Rezoning request to rezone a parcel of land from General Agricultural District to Light Industrial District. The subject property is approximately 40 acres in size and is developed with a utility substation. A utility substation is not a permitted use within the General Agricultural District and the current development is a legal-nonconforming use on the property. The applicant has submitted this Rezoning request in order to replace portions of the existing station, which requires that the property to be located in a zoning district that permits utility substations. Light Industrial District allows utility substations as a permitted use in the district. The City’s Future Land Use Plan currently lists the property as Rural Residential, which does not support Light Industrial District as an appropriate zoning designation. However, Future Land Use Planning Staff met to discuss the application and have indicated that due to the existing Mining/Extraction designation south of the subject property, a staff sponsored amendment to the Future Land Use Plan is appropriate to change the Future Land Use Designation from Rural residential to Light Industrial for the subject property. In particular, the proposed Rezoning request and subsequent amendment to the Future Land Use Plan will allow the applicant to update the existing utility substation on the property in compliance with the Light Industrial District. Therefore, the requested Rezone will be in compliance with an upcoming City sponsored amendment to the Future Land Use Plan.
