(23-00398) Squires Property Rezone – Located at 458 E Moody Rd, the application is to change the zoning of approximately 22 of the 26 acres in the parcel from Light Industrial (LI) to
Community Business Center (CBC). – Bron Leatham (Action)
Sally introduced the application and Kyle presented the Staff Report. He described the location of the parcel and its current zoning. He explained the applicant, Bron Leatham, is asking
to rezone the Light Industrial (LI) section to Community Business Center (CBC). He indicated that Staff has reviewed and approved the application, explaining that the infrastructure
is in place since it was planned for years ago, and the potential projects better align with the Community Business Center (CBC) zoning. He concluded that Staff is asking the Commission
to consider recommending the application to City Council for approval.
Vince clarified that there is a portion of the parcel that is currently zoned as CBC, but the back portion is not. Kyle confirmed. Vince asked what the difference is between the Regional
Business Center (RBC) and Community Business Center (CBC) zones. Kyle explained that RBC is for bigger box stores and are bigger lots. CBC has smaller lots, similar to the bank and
Wendy’s that is going in nearby.
Discussion ensued about the surrounding Light Industrial (LI) zoning and the City limits.

Conflict of Interest/Ex parte Communication: Chairperson Smith asked the Commissioners to disclose any conflicts of interest or conversations held outside of this meeting relative to
this particular subject.
Commissioner Discussion:
Aaron stated that he likes that the rezone request is West of the rail line, to preserve the rail as Light Industrial (LI). He would prefer to have retail across from Walmart and along
that corridor. Vince added that he doesn’t see Light Industrial going in next to the bank and Wendy’s. He agreed with Aaron’s comment about the railroad access being preserved for the
fertilizer plant, concluding that he believes this proposal makes sense.
Sally agreed, commenting that it makes sense with the growth seen in that area.
MOTION: Motion to recommend to City Council the rezone of the proposed property from Light Industrial to Community Business Center so it is a continuance of what is already there and
to better fit what we anticipate that will go in that area.
Action: Approve, Moved by Vince Haley, Seconded by Randall Kempton.
