Recommendation: The Professional Planning Staff recommends that the Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for the proposed rezoning from the current county zoning district to Community Commercial (CC) in conjunction with the proposed annexation. Staff's recommendation is based on the following findings: * The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the 2040 Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) and supports the City's long-range vision for commercial and employment growth within the Municipal Influence Area. * The Community Commercial (CC) zoning district is appropriate for the subject property due to its location along an established transportation corridor and its proximity to existing Community Commercial (CC) and Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning districts, resulting in a logical and compatible development pattern. * The proposed flex space development will provide opportunities for office, warehouse, contractor, service, and other commercial uses that will support economic development, business growth, and employment opportunities within the area. * The property is served by, or has access to, public water and sewer infrastructure and will be subject to all applicable requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) during future site plan and permitting review, including standards related to access, buffering, landscaping, parking, lighting, stormwater management, and environmental protection. * The proposed rezoning represents a logical extension of existing commercial and industrial development and is not expected to create an isolated zoning district, encourage strip commercial development, or result in significant adverse impacts to surrounding properties or the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare.
