RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (8-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant is requesting the Plan Amendment to “Heavy Industrial” in order to allow the development of industrial uses on the subject property. The land use designation will create a consistent designation throughout the entire property. The request is consistent with Plan Goal 2.1 which is to establish a land use pattern that is responsive to the existing context and is founded upon realistic market expectations. A large majority of the surrounding uses include industrial, so the request is not out of character for the area.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the Arena District/Eastside Community Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
