(CD 8) Christine Panagopoulos and David Chavez / Rhett Bennett, Black Mountain / Bob Riley, Halff; 7200 - 7500 blocks (odds) Anglin Drive (42.06 acres) From: "AG" Agricultural To: "I" Light Industrial (Recommended for Approval by the Zoning Commission)

Summary

This item concerns a zoning change request for approximately 42.06 acres located in the 7200-7500 blocks (odds) of Anglin Drive in Council District 8. The property is currently zoned "AG" Agricultural and the applicant, David Chavez and Christine Panagopoulos represented by Rhett Bennett (Black Mountain) and Bob Riley (Halff Assoc.), is requesting a change to "I" Light Industrial. The proposed use is for a data center and support facilities. The Zoning Commission has recommended approval by a vote of 8-0. While the requested zoning is compatible with surrounding uses, it is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation of "Agricultural" for a portion of the property, though staff believes a minor boundary adjustment is appropriate. The change is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies regarding separating incompatible uses and promoting fiscally sustainable growth.
