Body
Summary and Background Information:
The applicant is requesting the approval of a zone change from C-3 (Regional Commercial District) to I-2 (Medium-Intensity Industrial District) for the 1.9-acre property located at 7205 E. 53rd Place. The subject property currently contains non-conforming uses including a single-family dwelling and outdoor storage; the existing uses will be redeveloped in conformance with all industrial development standards. The proposed zone change of this lot will allow the applicant to expand the Metal Products assembly operation currently located directly west of this property, at 7167 E. 53rd Place and grow and established business within Commerce City. With approval of this zone change, the applicant will consolidate both lots into one larger lot (approximately 3.78 acres) and expand the current business operation from 11,880 square feet to over 50,000 square feet. The rezone and proposed development are not expected to impact access to the site and will have minimal impact to traffic patterns. A concurrent development plan and subdivision plat are in the administrative review process. All current regulations and standards will be required to be met with these applications. The proposed rezone is consistent with the future land use and the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission has recognized that the proposed zone change and proposed use are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, will not negatively impact surrounding properties, and will have the potential to positively improve the character of the neighborhood.
