Review Concept Plan for an Industrial Building at 8200 Bunker Lake Boulevard; Case of DeltaModTech

The purpose of this case is to provide high-level input on a potential industrial use at 8200 Bunker Lake Boulevard.

Concept Plan Review is a high level review of a concept of a proposed development. This step affords the City the ability to provide high level feedback, identify any red flags, and identify pending questions the City would like answered on a more formal review. This step is intentionally more abstract than detailed review. There are multiple steps before project approval. There are no approvals or entitlements provided with this step. The Planning Commission is being asked to review the concept plan due to a pending Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Application. Before embarking on this process, the Planning Commission is being asked to informally weigh in on compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.

No notification required as there is not a formal application.

The subject property is approximately 87 acres and is privately owned. The potential applicant is considering a large industrial building, approximately 136,000 square feet with 50,000 square feet of office space on approximately 20 acres of the Subject Property. The high-level site plan does provide a future opportunity for growth and expansion of the building. The City does have strong requirements for buffering and distance between an industrial building and a residential home (southwest of the proposed building on the corner of Puma and Bunker).

The site is zoned E-3 and guided for business park in our comprehensive plan update (2040).

Staff is looking for high-level feedback on the use, and looking to the Planning Commission to identify any red flags at this stage, and note any questions or concerns that they would like answered if a formal application does come forward.

Staff is handling this portion of review as part of normal duties. The Applicant has applied for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Assistance for this project, to be reviewed by the Economic Development Authority (EDA) and City Council.

Staff is looking for general feedback on the proposed use for the Applicant to move forward with and submit a formal application.
