CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SAXON INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITION, A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. (LOCATED ONE-HALF MILE EAST OF 24TH AVENUE S.E. AND ONE-HALF MILE SOUTH OF STATE HIGHWAY NO. 9.)
Body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Saxon Industrial Park Addition, a Planned Unit Development and is generally located one-half mile east of 24th Avenue S.E. and one-half mile south of State Highway No. 9. The preliminary plat consists of 47+acres and four (4) lots. The preliminary plat contains property from two property owners. At this time, it is not known the schedule of when final plats will be submitted.
Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 14, 2020, recommended to City Council the amending of the PUD, Planned Unit Development established by Ordinance Nos. O-9596-41 and O-0607-35.

DISCUSSION: The proposed 404,800 square feet of industrial park space in this addition will contain a mixture of manufacturing, service, and warehouse facilities with a wide variation in the proportion of each type of use from one location to another. The entire development is expected to generate approximately 1,364 trips per day, 162 AM peak hour trips, and 162 PM peak hour trips. While this is above the threshold for when a traffic impact study is required, no traffic impact study was required of the application since both connections to State Highway 9 are signalized with exclusive left-turn lane entering the site from State Highway 9. The development is proposed for location at the end of John Saxon Boulevard and Technology Place south of State Highway 9. Traffic capacities on the existing streets exceed the demand for existing and proposed trips as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated.
