UNFINISHED BUSINESS
8.a. Request by Scannell Properties #527, LLC
Senior Planner Nemcek presented the continuation of the Scannell Properties #527, LLC project
for a rezoning and approval of a preliminary and final plat to facilitate the construction of a
warehouse and distribution center on the northern 86 acres of the existing Rich Valley Golf Course
and create two outlots that will be platted into buildable lots in the future with subsequent phases of
redevelopment of the golf course. In addition to the subdivision, the applicant is requesting approval
of a zoning map amendment to rezone the northern portion of the site containing the warehouse
and distribution center to GI-General Industrial.
This project is the first major project east of Highway 52 and will likely spur future development and
transportation infrastructure improvements in the vicinity.
The planning commission and nearby neighbors of the site expressed concerns related to traffic
generated by the site. The applicant was present and shared the end user is very conscious of the
amount of truck noise generated and truck drivers are diligent to make sure jay brakes are at a
minimum issue.
This evening, neighbors were present but had no comment. The developer is anticipating breaking
ground this upcoming spring. The applicant noted the end user is going for final approval to the
company’s board in December and if the deal does not go through, there are two proposals out to
two other large end users.
Staff will continue to have conversations with the county regarding the gradual increase in traffic as
the needs warrant. The proposed traffic numbers are consistent with the AUAR that was approved
by council in the last few months.
Councilmember Weisensel questioned the east public road; staff confirmed the road project will be
city driven construction and the fees and funding of the project will come from trunk area charges.
The Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of the plats and rezoning, subject
to the conditions contained in the attached resolution.
