<br />CC, Ordinance - ZC 94-10 <br />September 19, 1994 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />spent a great deal of time researching opportunities for industrial <br />development within a campus setting. The Task Force has identified the <br />subject area for business park use based on previous reports, including the <br />Focus Area Study prepared by BRW in 1990 and the current zoning and land <br />use designation. At an August meeting, the Business Park Task Force <br />agreed to support the City's request to rezone the identified property to BP <br />(Business Park) to provide for high quality industrial development <br />opportunities along with supporting commercial. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Currently, the property has a land use designation of LI (Light Industrial) <br />and zoning of PUD (Planned Unit Development). The only exceptions to this <br />are the County Government Center, which has a zoning of C2 (Office District) <br />and underlying land use ofP (Public), as well as the southeast corner of Waco <br />Street and US Highway 10, which has a land use designation of HB <br />(Highway Business). Those properties that currently have a land use <br />designation of LI (Light Industrial) and zoning of PUD (Planned Unit <br />Development) can be developed today as a light industrial PUD (Planned <br />Unit Development) very similar to a business park. However, under the <br />present circumstances, no commercial uses are allowed. The adopted <br />Business Park Zoning Ordinance allows for a broad range of uses ranging <br />from light industrial to a mixture of commercial businesses that would <br />compliment the industrial park. In this sense, the Business Park Zoning <br />designation allows for more land use opportunities than the current <br />designation of PUD (Planned Unit Development) and land use designation of <br />LI (Light Industrial) zoning. <br /> <br />The reason to bring this rezoning application forward at this time IS <br />threefold: <br /> <br />. To implement the business park concept discussed in the 1990 Focus Area <br />Study and adopted by the City Council. <br /> <br />. Rezone those properties that have a underlying land use of LI (Light <br />Industrial) to bring the zoning map into compliance with the land use <br />plan map. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Establish appropriate zoning designations within the western area in <br />anticipation of the imminent development activity as a result of the <br />current plans to extend City water and sewer into the next phase of the <br />western area. <br /> <br />zc94-1O.council <br />
