The property owner submitted a petition for annexation and a rezoning to Campus Industrial (CI) zoning for the subject property.
This Campus Industrial (CI) zoning district is intended to include land which is used, or intended to be used, as an employment center, including but not limited to, land uses such as light industrial, research and development centers, multi-story offices, business services and limited retail services. It is intended to provide for places to work with the conveniences of services within a centralized area.

Per the Comprehensive Plan, Preferred Land Use Vision Plan (Future Land Use Map), the subject property is generally located within an area for employment uses within an overarching “Employment Center”. The proposed rezoning is generally in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
