If approved, the land in question would allow changes from agricultural and residential zoning to light manufacturing. City planning staffers forwarded the request to the planning commission with a favorable recommendation, saying it aligns with the draft small area plan.
At Wednesday’s meeting, however, OCC Industrial, the proposed warehouse developer, had a chance to make its case. The developers added that the zoning change would be beneficial because it’s consistent with the Northpoint Small Area Plan, supports the creation of high-quality jobs and responds to a scarcity of vacant industrial lots in this area.
