Public Hearing- Rezoning Chair Al Bowman opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m.
Lot 4 and Lot 6 Argo
Innovation Park Jackie Carlson, Planning and Business Services explained that
this is the same application that was herd at the March 14, 2013
meeting. The advertisement for the public hearing was incorrect
so it had to be advertised again and reheard by the Planning
Commission. She said that the applicant is requesting to rezone
approximately 18.8 acres from GP -I to PD. According to the
UDO the GP -I zoning is to be a holding district and no
development shall occur before it has been rezoned. At this time
the applicant does not have a preliminary site or development
plan, but is requesting to rezone the property in preparation for
future development. The applicant has presented development
regulations the mimic those approved for Horizons West at the
January 24 2013 meeting. As the applicant begins to develop,
preliminary and final development plans will have to be approved
by the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen. At this
time the applicant has a 24 -hour limousine service operating out
of a structure on Lot 4. Staff views this as a interim use. If this
use still remains after one year the applicant will be required to
come back before the Planning Commission and Board of
Aldermen to amend the development plan. The proposed
rezoning and development regulations are in conformance with
the approved Master Plan and UDO therefore staff recommends
approval.
Dana Boles with Kaw Valley Engineers and the applicant, Don
Coleman were both present.
Having no comments from the public, Chair Bowman closed the
Public Hearing at 7:02 p.m.
Commissioner Home moved to recommend approval of the
rezoning of Lot 4 and Lot 6 of Argo Innovation Park to the Board
of Aldermen, seconded by Commissioner Kaspar.
Motion passed 8 -0.
Final Plat- Riverside Carlson explained that the applicant, North Point Development is
Horizons West First Plat proposing a new light industrial development on the west side of
Horizons Parkway that is approximately 67 acres. The land
included in the plat is undeveloped. The City will partner with the
developer to install infrastructure to and within the site. This plat
proposes the extension of NW 41 Street (east and west), the
construction of NW Helena Road (north and south), and NW 40 s Street
that will run east and west at the southern boundary of the plat. The
City has been awarded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds to assist with the construction of 41 Street, a portion of Helena
Road and sanitary sewer extensions. These improvements are estimated
at $1.75 million. The remaining infrastructure will be completed by the
developer as articulated in the Developer's Agreement. With the
completion of the infrastructure improvements, all proposed lots will
have direct access to the transportation network and public services.
The plat and proposed use are in conformance with the Comprehensive
Master Plan as the plan identifies the area as innovation & industrial.
The final plat is also in compliance with the approved preliminary plat.
Staff finds the application in conformance with the Comprehensive
Master Plan, UDO and adopted policies and procedures, and therefore,
recommends approval of the Final Plat.
Commissioner Uhl asked what type of light industrial
development it would be.
Brent Miles with North Point Development explained that the
Planning Commission saw the preliminary plat and preliminary
development plan for this back in January and explained that they
did this to stay in the running for a GM auto supplier we are
calling Project Trim. They will purchase all 22 acres of lot 3 of
this plat and will construct the largest building yet in Horizons.
The plat calls for the extension of 41 and the construction of
Helena as well as utilities.
Commissioner Soler asked about the City's CDBG funding
process.
Carlson explained that the funds come from the Federal
Government and are filtered to specific project through the
individual states.
Miles explained that the state divides the money into pots that
target specific projects. This project was selected out the
economic development pot that targets job creation and industrial
infrastructure.
Don Coleman with the Riverside Quindaro Bend Levee District
asked about the Levee's access to one of their gates across Lot 3
of this plat.

to use the north drive of the facility to access what it needs.
