Background:
BAZ-002565-2025, is a rezoning application proposing to change the zoning on this property from A-1 (Agricultural) to CG (Commercial General) for a proposed commercial development. This request follows a recent Comprehensive Plan amendment request (COMP-002532-2025) from Level 1 to Level 4 that was heard by Planning Commission during the December 18, 2025 meeting for 8.8 acres of this development. The additional three parcels totaling approximately 8.075 acres were already Level 4 (Commercial/Employment Nodes) in the Comprehensive Plan. Two opposition forms were received and a surrounding property owner voiced concerns regarding increased traffic, pedestrian safety, noise & light pollution, depreciating property values, nearby competition of other stores, increased litter, and a decreased quality of life. The applicant stated that the development would adhere to all city development standards, codes, and ordinances, that a Traffic Impact Analysis had been performed for the site, and that sidewalks would be installed along both Kenosha Street & Oneta Road for pedestrian safety. Planning Commission recommended approval (3-2) of COMP-002532-2025, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, for 8.8 of the total 16.875 acres to go from Level 1 to Level 4 that aligns with the already designated Level 4 in the Comprehensive Plan for the rest of the project site. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment was heard by City Council on January 20, 2026 where the City Council approved the amendment (3-1). These back-to-back applications (Comprehensive Plan amendment & rezoning application) support the project timeline of the development.
The proposed development has had a 94-page Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) completed which reflects no change in Level of Service (LOS) during peak hours with the addition of this development. The executive summary of the analysis is provided as an attachment, while a copy of the full 94-page analysis is available for review in the Community Development Department. Right-in, right-out turn lanes are requested for the Kenosha Street driveway to promote left-hand turns at the stoplight. The Zoning Ordinance addresses exterior lighting standards in Section 4-4-2, litter or property maintenance issues can be addressed by the Code Enforcement Division if they arise, sidewalks along Kenosha & Oneta will be required to address pedestrian safety, although gas stations and a discount variety store are in close proximity, the nearest grocery store is over two miles away. According to FEMA maps, only the northwestern portion of the property is located in the 100-year floodplain. No development is proposed in the floodplain.
No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to this item during the public hearing. This rezoning item was considered by the Planning Commission on January 8, 2026 and recommended for approval (4-0 vote). Please note the Comprehensive Plan map has not yet been updated due to the recent amendment approved by City Council on January 20, 2026 to reflect the amendment from Level 1 to Level 4 for the northern tract of 8.8 acres.
