What's on this agenda

The board takes up a rezoning for the Star Road Tech Center, filed by St. John Properties, that would rezone 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District, opening the site to commercial, office and light industrial use. Staff's report finds the plan generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommends denial, citing five points of conflict: the land use mix, a parking plan below UDO minimums, and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. The tract sits in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction along Star Road near US-1; no annexation petition has been filed. This meeting takes public comment on the case, and the Board of Commissioners' public hearing is tentatively set for March 19.

Also on the agenda: the fifth work session on the town's Unified Development Ordinance rewrite, where staff present draft standards for planned unit developments, subdivision and lot rules, and open space requirements for board feedback. No vote is attached to the work session. The board also takes up approval of its December 12 minutes, still marked draft.
