Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a city-initiated zoning amendment to Planned Development No. 24 (PD-24) as it relates to allowable uses within the district. Proposed amendments are based on City Council direction to prohibit uses within the Interstate 35 (IH-35) corridor that are not in keeping with the anticipated longer term vision for the corridor.
Staff has reviewed PD-24 along with the other Planned Development Districts within the IH-35 corridor (PD-25, PD-97, PD-70, PD-86, and PD-32), based on Council direction, existing land use policy, existing development form, and the anticipated future vision for the corridor.
Staff is recommending that a list of uses be prohibited within PD-24. Uses that are proposed to be added to the prohibited list include those that are motor vehicle related or are of a level of intensity that is not in keeping with the direction provided. If approved, PD-24 will be brought into closer alignment with Council direction and the West Side Plan.
This zoning request is being brought forward concurrent with proposed amendments to PD-25 and PD-97, of which all are located along the west side of the IH-35 corridor.

ACTIONS:
