At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Ms. Aristy moved and Ms. Hatcher seconded a motion
to adopt Resolution RZ06-10, recommending approval of Ordinance 06-965, rezoning the
property at 106 Jackson Avenue from 1-2 to Business Park. The motion was approved
unanimously.
Overview.
106 Jackson Avenue is currently zoned 1-2, General Industrial. This property abuts the
former Supervalu North Annex site. Opus Corporation is proposing to purchase the property
to redevelop this site in conjunction with the Supervalu North Annex site. The former North
Annex site is presently zoned Business Park. With this rezoning both sites will have
Business Park as the underlying zoning.

Primarv Issues to Consider.
. What is the Comprehensive Plan designation, and what is the zoning of the
subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Industrial. The site is zoned 1-2,
General Industrial. The Comprehensive Plan designation will have to be amended for the
new zoning of Business Park.
. What does the Business Park zoning allow?
The main uses for Business Park zoning allow office and office showrooms. Also allowed is
a limited amount of warehousing, light manufacturing, and retail.
. Should the site be rezoned from 1-2 to Business Park?
Because Opus is proposing to purchase 106 Jackson A venue and integrate this site into the
larger site, it makes sense to have the same zoning for both sites.
. What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the rezoning. Dave Menke, representing Opus
Corporation, reviewed the master plan with the Commission. No one appeared at the public
hearing regarding this item.
Alternatives.
I. Approve the rezoning. By approving the rezoning, the applicant will be able to redevelop
the property as proposed.
2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the applicant will not be able to redevelop
the property as proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will
have to be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
