Executive Summary (General Business): This major site plan amendment is to accommodate the business owner’s intent to expand his business to add a new concrete batch plant to the existing concrete business on the site.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation if requested.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the major site plan amendment as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the site plan.
2. Move that the Council not approve and provide direction.
Background: This major site plan amendment is being pursued to allow the business owner to expand his business to include a new concrete plant. The revised plan was recommended for approval by the Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) on March 11, 2026.
Issues/Analysis: Lot 14 is currently developed. The lot was combined with Lot 13 through a Unity of Title to provide sufficient space for the business owner to expand operations to include a new concrete plant. On December 8, 2025, City Council approved Resolution 25-R81, granting a Special Exception Use (SEU) to allow the new concrete plant to be located in the Industrial Zoning District. As part of the approval, the City required the applicant to install 1” of additional asphalt from the project’s southern driveway north to Commerce Centre Drive along Commerce Lakes Drive, due to the increased load on City roadways generated by concrete truck traffic. The City Attorney’s Office and the property owner prepared a Cost Responsibility Agreement. Based on the cost estimate from the City’s contractor contract pricing and this agreement, the developer agreed to provide the City a payment of $40,082.31 upon approval of the SEU and prior to Public Works construction permits being issued.
