New Business]
BUSINESS. IT'S ITEM NUMBER ZC 28 DASH 2024, 7800 WALTON PARKWAY, GENERAL EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT.THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THE REZONING REQUEST IS FOR 7800 WALTON PARKWAY TO REZONE FROM LIMITED OFFICE CAMPUS DISTRICT TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY IS SPONSORING THE PROPERTY OWNER, AS WE THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE USE WITH THE SURROUNDING USES WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK. THE REZONING WOULD PERMIT ALL THE SAME EXISTING USES THAT ARE IN PLACE TODAY IN ADDITION TO MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION AND WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION IN, SUCH THAT THEY ARE CLEAN AND NON HAZARDOUS. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY ON THE NEW ALBANY. I'M SORRY. THE 11.44 ACRE SITE IS DEVELOPED WITH OR IS OCCUPIED, IS DEVELOPED WITH AN OCCUPIED OFFICE BUILDING AND A PARTIALLY OCCUPIED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT BUILDING. THERE ARE NO EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS WITH THIS REQUEST, AND THE PROPOSED USES WILL STILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY ON THE NEW ALBANY FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND IT IS LOCATED IN THE VILLAGE RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY ON THE RFB FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
DUE TO EXISTING AND PROPOSED SORRY DUE TO EXISTING AND PROPOSED USES, THE REZONING IS EVALUATED UNDER THE OFFICE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE PROPOSED PERMITTED USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE ACCORD'S LAND USE CATEGORY, AND IT MATCHES THE NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS. AND LASTLY , THE PROPOSAL SCORES 100 ON THE REPORT CARD AND STAFF CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DOES THE PANEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ARE THERE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL. ISSUES WITH WETLANDS OR STREAMS OR NONE THAT WE'RE AWARE OF? AND THE ZONING
[00:05:01]
CHANGE TONIGHT WILL NOT CHANGE ANY REGULATIONS REGARDING ANY WETLANDS ON THE SITE. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN 100. THAT'S PRETTY, PRETTY GOOD FOR COMPLIANCE. WELL, I THINK SINCE IT'S ALREADY BUILT, A LOT OF THEM WERE NOT APPLICABLE. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. I DO HAVE ONE, WELL, MAYBE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. THE PROPERTY JUST TO THE NORTH OF THERE, WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OR WANTED TO BE GOING ON THERE? IS IT STILL IN THE WORKS SOMEPLACE DOWN THE ROAD, OR HOW WOULD THAT IMPACT WHAT'S GOING ON NOW? DO YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THAT? SURE. YEAH. SO THE SITE TO THE NORTH, THAT'S, THE NORTH OF NEW ALBANY OR THE HAMLET SITE AS IT'S KNOWN. SO THAT'S THE STEINER PROJECT. SO THAT'S BEEN REZONED TO ALLOW FOR A MIXTURE OF RETAIL, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES. SO THE AREA JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE SITE, THAT'S BEING REZONED TONIGHT WILL BE USED FOR FUTURE RESIDENTIAL, JUST AS IT IS TODAY. SO THERE'S REALLY NO CHANGE IN THE NEIGHBORING USES. SO IT'S RESIDENTIAL TODAY, WILL BE RESIDENTIAL WHEN IT COMES IN, AND REDEVELOPED AS PART OF THE NEW PROJECT. SO THAT PROJECT IS STILL BEING, I GUESS THE DESIGN FOR THE PROJECT IS STILL BEING UNDERTAKEN BY THE STEINER GROUP, THE PROPERTY OWNER. NOW, I WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH WHEN THAT PROJECT WILL COME FORTH, BUT I WOULD ANTICIPATE SOME TIME THIS YEAR IS PROBABLY WHEN WE'LL SEE IT START GOING THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS SO THAT WON'T HAVE TO COME BEFORE THIS BOARD, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH VARIOUS, CITY OF NEW ALBANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU, AND I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION IN READING THROUGH THE LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS ON THERE, WHERE IT CAME DOWN TO THINGS THAT WERE, NOT THIS PROPERTY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE USED FOR. AND IN THAT, LINE THERE, IT HAD EXCEPTIONS. AND ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS WAS SOME SORT OF MEDICAL LAB OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. I'M SORRY I WASN'T, EXPECTING THAT. DO YOU DO YOU HAVE THAT PART OF THE SCORECARD UP THAT WAS. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PROHIBITED USES? YES. AND THE DEVELOPMENT TAX. YES. BUT THERE WAS AN EXCEPTION IN THERE. AND SO IT THIS TEXT MY FIRST THE REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS WHEN I READ THROUGH IT WAS, OH WELL IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE ALLOWING MEDICAL LABS TO DO RESEARCH, ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH THE, LAB IN CHINA WHEN THEY RELEASED THE COVID? I MEAN, THAT'S AN EXTREME. AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING IN ANY WAY THAT THAT'S EVEN IN THE THOUGHT PROCESS. BUT IN READING WHAT THE EXCEPTION WAS, I WAS THINKING THAT WAS THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MIND. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC, MEDICAL USES EITHER. PROHIBITED OR DENIED. SO WHAT, WHAT IS ALLOWED TODAY IS RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION TYPE USES SO THAT COULD BE MEDICAL RESEARCH. HOWEVER, TODAY THAT IS AN EXISTING ALLOWABLE USE, AND ACTUALLY THE CVG SITE TODAY COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, THEY THEY DO RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION FOR 18 WHEELERS. SO FOR THE TRUCK BEDS. AND SO THAT'S THE TYPE OF RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION THEY'VE BEEN DOING THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF, MEDICAL RESEARCH NECESSARILY WOULD BE ALLOWED THERE, BUT IT WOULD MOSTLY STILL CONTAIN OFFICE USES, THOSE SAME TYPE OF RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION USES AND, AGAIN, THE CLEAN AND NON-HAZARDOUS MANUFACTURING PRODUCTION WAREHOUSE, DATA CENTERS, AND I UNDERSTAND AND, EQUIPMENT, RESEARCH AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT MY, MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS IF THAT'S, RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THEY DO HAVE SOME SORT OF MEDICAL RESEARCH GOING ON WHERE SOMETHING COULD BE RELEASED TO THE AREA, THAT THAT WAS MY ONLY, QUICK THOUGHT CONCERN ON THAT ASPECT OF IT. YEAH, I THINK SINCE IT HAS TO BE CLEAN AND NON-HAZARDOUS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD EVALUATE AS STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SHOULD COVER THE RISK COVER. NO, THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY. WELL, THIS ZONING CHANGE CAUSE ANY LEGAL, NONCONFORMING WITH THE EXISTING USES. SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. WE DON'T BELIEVE SO. THERE'S NO CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, SO AS FAR AS HOW THE SITE COULD DEVELOP FROM A LAND USE OR AS FAR AS THE BUILDING PERSPECTIVE GOES, PARKING LOTS, NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE. AS PART OF THIS REZONING. SO WE DON'T FORESEE AND WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY NON-CONFORMITIES BEING CREATED. OKAY, GREAT. OKAY. ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A POSSIBLE TURN LANE, WAS THAT ON 605 INTO THE BACKSIDE OF IT OR SO THAT WAS THE LOCATION WHERE[00:10:03]
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY, MAYBE MIGHT NEED ONE AT SOME POINT. YEAH. SO THE ZONING TEXT DOES CONTEMPLATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A LEFT TURN LANE GOING NORTHBOUND ON 605 WHEN THE CVG SITE WAS DEVELOPED BACK IN THE EARLY 2000, THAT WAS EVALUATED BY OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STAFF, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY IF THERE IS AND WHEN THERE IS A NEW USER TO THE SITE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE PUBLIC STREETS. WELL, I THANK YOU FOR THAT. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, YEAH, JUST A SO THE NEW, LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT ALLOWS FOR PRODUCTION, WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION. AND WHEN I THINK OF DISTRIBUTION LIKE AMAZON MOVING TRUCKS IN AND OUT, I ASSUME RELATIVE TO IT COMING OUT ON 605, THERE'S PROBABLY NOT A CURRENT TENANT RIGHT. OR CVG IS STILL THERE. SO CURRENTLY CVG IS OCCUPYING. SO THERE'S LIKE A CONNECTION RIGHT HERE. YEAH. BREEZE WAY OVER HERE. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS LIKE THE OFFICE SPACE OF CVG IS STILL OCCUPYING THIS SPACE HERE FOR OFFICE USES. THIS IS WHAT'S BEEN DESIGNED AND USED IN THE PAST FOR THEIR RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION. SO THIS DOES HAVE LOADING SPACE FOR TRUCKS AND 18 WHEELERS. SO I THINK IT'S SORT OF LIMITED IN SCOPE AND SIZE. THERE'S NOT MUCH AVAILABILITY TO EXPAND THAT TYPE OF USE. BUT TRUCKS WOULD STILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS CURB CUT HERE AS THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST. THANKS ANY OTHERS WOULD THERE BE ANY IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF 605? SO I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY REQUIRED. THE LEISURE TRAILS AND STREET TREES ARE IN, SO WITH A NEW USER, I DON'T THINK WILL BE ANY ADDITIONAL, STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED, FOR A CHANGE IN USE. OKAY. WITH NO OTHER, QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT, OUR NEXT STEP IS TO HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT IT. DO I HAVE A MOTION, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT TONIGHT'S, PROCEED, JAY HERSKOWITZ. I'LL SECOND THAT. MR. MISTER HERSKOWITZ. YES, MR. HARPER? YES MR. YES, MISS. BONNIE. YES MR. CHAPELLIER YES, I HAVE FIVE YES VOTES ON THE MOTION. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. LET'S SEE, IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS AT THIS TIME? NO OTHER BUSINESS. BUT I WILL PUT ON YOUR RADAR THAT JUNE OR THE NEXT MEETING, WHENEVER THAT IS.WE WILL VOTE FOR CHAIRS OF OUR JURISDICTIONS THAT WILL LEAD THE MEETING. JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE.
IS DOING A GREAT JOB. OKAY DO WE NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING? YOU DON'T NEED TO. YOU CAN JUST DECLARE IT ADJOURNED? YOU CAN JUST DECLARE IT ADJOURNED. YOU KNOW. NO. YES, SIR. SIR. OKAY, THEN I DECLARE THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 426. MEETING. THANKS FOR. THANK YOU.
