The owner of 2620 Farabaugh Lane is seeking to rezone from B-3 to I-2 to facilitate the

in a B-3 zone district and is a use by right in the I-
yard
machinery, building materials, paints, pipe, or electrical components used by the owner
According to the preliminary site plan submitted by the applicant, the owner will
construct a 3,072 square foot building with space for vehicles, materials, and a small
office. The applicant currently has space on the same street but would like to better
secure his materials. This section of the South Prairie Subdivision was annexed into the
City with the Lake Minnequa Annexation (Ord. #3646) in 1972 and was zoned B-3 at
that time. Over time, this area has developed with a lighter industrial or business park
setting with few traditional B-3 uses developed. The southern side of Farabaugh Lane
is currently zoned B-
HVAC, and light industrial in nature. Across the street to the north a majority of the lots
have been zoned Business Park, with light industrial related storage, warehousing and
transportation uses. To the north and east most of the Prairie Park Subdivision has
been rezoned Business Park or properties have received special use permits in B-3 to
allow self-storage. Existing businesses to the northwest and west are largely HVAC and
plumbing companies. Finally, the area behind the property is undeveloped prairie zoned
Business Park (BP) and likely to develop in a similar manner as the subject property.
The applicant will be required to submit a commercial site plan for the proposed
building, and it is in a Low Visibility Industrial area, PMC 17-4-49(f), which offers
reduced standards for site development compared to properties within High Visibility
designated Industrial areas.
