Title
CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR INDIAN HILLS INDUSTRIAL ADDITION. (GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF INDIAN HILLS ROAD AND WEST OF THE BNSF RAILROAD (2855 WEST INDIAN HILLS ROAD).
Body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Indian Hills Industrial Addition and is generally located on the north side of Indian Hills Road and west of the BNSF railroad right-of-way. The preliminary plat consists of 16.33 acres. Of the 16.33 acres, there is one proposed lot on 3.45 acres for warehouse use.

Also, Planning Commission recommended to City Council that the preliminary plat for Indian Hills Industrial Addition be approved.

All access to this new building will be from a connection to Indian Hills Road to the east of the existing all-way STOP at the intersection with the northbound I-35 ramps and the frontage road on the east side of Interstate 35. This application is expected to generate approximately 146 trips per day or 24 PM peak hour trips.

The traffic capacity on the affected roadways exceeds the demand for existing and proposed trips as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated on these facilities.
