Title
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE DIA TECH CENTER PUD ZONE DOCUMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1
Body
Summary and Background Information:
To rezone two parcels from AG (Agricultural) to DIATC PUD (Planned Unit Development) to allow for employment uses. These additional parcels of land are approximately 51 acres in size and will be included within the DIA Tech Center PUD Zone Document. All of the existing DIA Technology land uses and development standards will apply.
The proposed additional parcels are currently vacant, are within DIA noise contours, and have been identified by the City’s Comprehensive Plan to include DIA Technology uses. Staff believes that this inclusion makes logical sense and can help to encourage new development along the southern Tower Road corridor. The process to update the zoning is to amend the PUD Zone Document, which requires approval from Planning Commission and City Council.
