ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
In the 1970’s the City of Lewisville was aggressive in zoning for industrial development due to airport proximity. The prevalence of industrial zoning coupled with the cumulative zoning at the time resulted in many office, retail, and service uses developed within the Light Industrial (LI), Warehouse (WH), and Heavy Industrial (HI) Zoning Districts in several areas of the City. The market has evolved to the point where even developed properties are being considered for demolition and construction of new warehouse distribution facilities. This creates compatibility issues between these new developments and existing surrounding uses. To facilitate improved compatibility between existing low-intensity development and potential high-intensity redevelopment in the LI, WH, and HI Districts, new supplemental standards to enhance setbacks, landscaping, and screening are proposed. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (7-0) on December 3, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
