Title: Ordinance Amending the Town’s Zone District Map by Designating the Castle Rock Industrial Park Annexation Property as I-2 General Industrial (Second Reading)
Executive Summary
First reading of this application occurred on June 20, 2017; Town Council voted 6-0 to approve the zoning as presented. The second reading was previously scheduled for July 18, 2017 but the applicant chose to table the hearing until today in order to settle a site development matter.
Polo Properties Holdings, LLC is proceeding with an application for Zoning for property known as Castle Rock Industrial Park which was previously owned and brought forward for zoning district classification by Castle Rock Industrial Park, LLC. The property resides within an industrial area of Town and is sandwiched between the Union Pacific Railroad and Highway 85 where Liggett Road spurs off of Highway 85 (Figure 1).
Castle Rock Industrial Park is currently under consideration for annexation into the Town under a separate Annexation application. If the property is approved for annexation it subsequently needs to
be zoned; through this Zoning application a straight zone district classification of I-2 General Industrial is being proposed for the Castle Rock Industrial Park property.
A zoning district classification of I-2 would permit the property to be developed as a versatile industrial land use and help the Town fill in an industrial land use area within its boundary and grow its tax base. Applications for Zoning require public hearing before Town Council for review and approval after review and a recommendation by Planning Commission.
Budget Impact
The proposed Zoning application will generate development review and impact fees along with use taxes.
Staff Recommendation
Staff finds that the proposed zoning district classification meets the zoning approval criteria outlined in Section 17.02.060 of the Town’s Municipal Code.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Ordinance as introduced by Title on 2nd reading.
