Title
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE DIA TECH CENTER PUD ZONE DOCUMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2.
Body
Summary and Background Information:
This request it to zone a recently annexed parcel from ADCO A-3 (Agricultural) to DIATC PUD (Planned Unit Development) to allow for employment uses. The parcel of land is approximately 28 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 parcel is currently vacant, is within DIA noise contours, and has 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 Corrridor. The process for annexation zoning allows for zoning the property based on the Comprehensive Plan designation which is what is proposed within the PUD. The annexation zoning process requires approval from Planning Commission and City Council.
