Zone Change at Parcel ID 39-193-01-010
Cogent Companies is requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Industrial-Employment (I-E) on property located at Parcel ID 39-193-01-010. The applicant intends to utilize the property for outdoor storage. This proposed zone change acknowledges the changed conditions on this property, and in the area, and would allow for a better and more productive use of the land. Additionally, the zone change would enable the land to further achieve the city’s current comprehensive plan goals to encourage employment-generating uses in the area by allowing the adjacent property to utilize it for their needs.
