As part of that discussion, a portion of county property <br /> must be rezoned from Residential (R-1c) to Business Park (BP). <br /> The zoning district boundary is irregular in this area and adjusting the line to correspond to streets and <br /> property lines is desired. The attached map shows BP in purple and R-1c in green. At the conclusion of <br /> the process, the red area will be rezoned to Business Park, and the yellow area would be rezoned to R-1c. <br /> Access for a data center would come from a new road, as an extension of Rawlings Street. <br /> A rezoning, if approved,would not impact the operations of the county facility. <br /> Staff also identified the need to amend the land use to reflect the change in zoning. The property is <br /> currently guided for Public/Institutional,which does not support industrial uses and zoning. <br /> Staff is requesting that the City Council open and continue the public hearing to July 20, 2015, at which <br /> time the associated Land Use Amendment will be brought forward for review. The delay ensures the <br /> zone change matches the underlying land use and is consistent with the standards applied to all zone <br /> change applications. <br /> Planning Commission <br /> The Planning Commission had no concerns and continued the public hearing to their June 23, 2015, <br /> meeting. <br /> Public Hearing <br /> During the public hearing a neighbor asked for clarification about future development plans. Specifically, <br /> Is the county property currently planned for residential development?Staff stated that no specific projects are <br /> identified, but that the change in zoning paves the way for a data center near the current ones. <br /> P0WIeEa 0 <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INAWRE1 <br />
