Title 7. Petition of Harold Yellin, Agent for Cowen Investments, LLC, on Behalf of Gladys Gill and Joyce Durrence, to Amend the Zoning Map at 0 Fort Argyle Road (PIN 21034 01008) from A-I (Agricultural) to B-C (Community Business), IL-T (Light Industrial-Transition) and I-L (Light Industrial) with Conditions. Aldermanic District #5. File No. 22-001626-ZA. | |

Description Harold Yellin on behalf of Gladys Gill and Joyce Durrence is requesting a zoning map amendment for 0 Ft. Argyle Road (PIN 21034 01008) to rezone the parcel from A-1 (Agricultural) to B-C (Community-Business) in the front portion of the property, I-L-T (Light Industrial Transition) in the middle of the parcel, and I-L (Light - Industrial) to the rear of the property. The parcel consists of 323.13 acres.
The area has traditionally been rural in use with large lot sizes. The surrounding parcels near 0 Fort Argyle Road have been rezoned to I-L, I-H and B-C with some parcels remaining A-1 and R-A. The applicant’s proposal would result in a significant change to the development pattern in the area. The development of 58.84 acres of commercially zoned property (B-C), 108.64 acres of IL-T, and 155.64 acres of IL zoned properties would create impacts that the petitioner will need to address prior to returning to the Planning Commission for a master plan approval prior to the site development approval. The intensity of the uses is expected to continue to increase in this area which has largely been rural for many years. The existing large tracts of undeveloped land lend to the likelihood that the redevelopment of these tracts would be of a scale that is not typical in this area. The proposed transition of three zoning classifications is a way to mitigate the uses so as not to have the B-C section transition directly into IL. Instead, there would be a IL-T district in the middle of the parcel to provide a gap from the heavier industrial uses. | |
Recommendation On May 24, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning map amendment for 0 Ft. Argyle Road (PIN 21034 01008) to rezone the parcel from A-1 (Agricultural) to B-C (Community-Business) in the front portion of the property, I-L-T (Light Industrial Transition) in the middle of the parcel, and I-L (Light – Industrial) to the rear of the property under the following conditions:
