Planner, Nathan Chavez presented case # Z-967-23, stating the property location to be at 8442 Uinta Street, and that the applicant is looking for a rezoning change from an Agricultural (AG) zone district to Medium-Intensity Industrial (1-2) zone district. Mr. Chavez briefed the Commission on the property's history, from its annexation in 1988 for Agricultural zoning to the many changes of vacation, replatting, and Land Use Plan Amendment throughout 2006. The site consists of a construction contractor business with a primary office surrounded by parking on the northwest corner of the site and two storage buildings on the Northern and Southern portions of the site with outdoor storage located on the Southeast corner of the site. Thus, the site is surrounded by Commerce City industrial zoning on the South side and residential zoning on the North, in addition to Unincorporated Adams County on the North and West side consisting of a mixture of properties of residential and Industrial uses properties. Furthermore, Nathan explain that the Development and Planning Review Committees found that the proposed request aligns with the Irondale plan and the Land Development Code approval criteria. Acting Deputy City Attorney Sara Geiger asked for clarification if the current business KNK Construction would be the only business at the site. Mr. Chavez, responded that no other business will be coming to the site except for KNK Construction, which is already on the site. A motion was made that by Commissioner Ingram, "I move that the Planning Commission enter a finding that the request zone change for the property located at 8442 Uinta Street contained in case # Z-967-23 meets the Criteria of the Land Development and based upon such finding recommend that the City Council approve the zoning." Seconded by Commissioner, VanDijk.
