City Planner Licht presented the staff report. He stated the City Council has stated a need to
identify areas for possible future industrial uses to allow for continued development particularly
along the TH 101 corridor. City staff proposes 320 acres east of Queens Avenue be guided for
industrial use. He stated this change would not affect anyone's current use of their property
only future development. Mayor said 65th is a dirt road how would this effect that. City Planner
Licht said essentially 65th Street would have to be upgraded; so if any of those property owners
along there initiate development they would have to upgrade the road as part of the project.
Mayor Stockamp asked if all the property owners in the shaded area were notified. City Planner
Licht said no this is a general plan amendment so we only are required to publish notice in the
paper that's the practice the city does for any amendments to the land use plan. It was
discussed rezoning only a half mile east of Queens Avenue and include the property on the
north side of the two forty parcels as at this time.
