Industrial Plan III • Page 49 - SteerinE Committee Recommendation - The Steering Committee closely reviewed the needs for industrial property in the community. Several sites were identified to be rezoned for future industrial development. One of these areas is the northeast corner of County Road 12 and 13. This area contains approximately 150 acres and the Steering Committee has recommended that it be rezoned to BP (Business Park). Staff Recommendation - Staff is concerned with the amount of available business park land that either has access to sewer and water or is planned to be served in the immediate future. The oversupply of business park property could have an affect on the rate and type of development that could occur in this business park zone. In addition, with the extension of water and sewer east of Highway 169, there needs to be a proper balance of land use options for development as sewer and water is extended. Therefore, staff is recommending that the zoning of the northeast corner of County Road 12 and 13 remain residential and not be considered as a business park use. III • Page 49 - Steering Committee Recommendation - A large area lying south of 165th Avenue between the City's eastern limits and Highway 10 as well as extending south of the Highway 10 corridor to the Mississippi River, has been identified as an industrial zoning district by the Steering Committee. Staff Recommendation - This particular area identified for future industrial lies outside of the urban service area as recommended by both staff and the Steering Committee. Although certain industrial uses may be appropriate for areas of the City without water and sewer, the large area identified for industrial by the Steering Committee raises some concern. Staff would recommend that the industrial area outside the urban service area be limited to the lands that are currently zoned industrial. The balance of the property should be left as rural residential. • s:plannin g:p c:10-26memo
