6. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agricultural District to IN
Industrial District for Airport Industrial Park, Lot 1, located at 101 and 103 Halmar Cove. REZ-
2007-012 (CB)
Staff report read by Elizabeth Cook. The 3.0-acre tract is located on the north side of Halmar
Cove, at the intersection with Airport Road, on a cul-de-sac street accessed from Airport Road.
As developed, the site has two separate facilities housing light industrial or light manufacturing
uses. The applicant proposes to divide t he tract into two 1.5-acre tracts, but must address the
zoning issue prior to Resubdivision. The zoning of the property is “AG, Agriculture,” which is
reflective of the default zoning placed on the property at the time of annexation in 2006. The

property is identified for “Industrial” on the Future Land Use Plan and carries an Intensity
Level of “4”.
The subject application is a rezoning request from “AG,” to “IN, Industrial” to accommodate
the current uses of the site, and to bring the property into conformance with the underlying
Land Use Plan designation. As stated, the “AG” zoning district was applied at the time of the
most recent round of annexations in 2006. The effect of the “AG” default zoning was to
render the current use of the site nonconforming, since the existing industrial use is not a
permitted use within the “AG” district. This application removes the nonconforming aspect
of the use and makes the zoning consistent with both the use and the Land Use Map.
Chair Gibbs invited the applicant to speak. The applicant was absent.
Chair Gibbs opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing
was closed.
Motion by McMichael to approve the Rezoning from “AG, Agricultural” district to “IN,
Industrial” district for Airport Industrial Park, Lot 1, located at 101 and 103 Halmar Cove.
Second by Shield. (Approved 6-0)
7. Comments from Director. Bobby Ray stated during the June 26th City Council meeting, the city
Council discussed a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to issue a Quit Claim Deed to be
filed abandoning the Public Utility Easements along the common property lines located at 209,
211 and 213 Green Leaf Lane. Mr. Ray also stated the council also approved the first reading for
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning for property located at 1633 Williams Drive.
