Item# 10
HISTORY:
TRANSPORTATION:
There has been no recent development history on the subject parcel,
as the BMC property (commonly referred to as the Lone Star
Plywood building) has been occupied since the early 1990's.
Airline Drive is an improved C4U, four-lane undivided thoroughfare
built to standard with a 70 foot right-of-way that carries a substantial
amount of warehouse traffic.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
South - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
East - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
West - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
office, showroom, warehousing and light industrial uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a straightforward case in that the applicant proposes to construct an
ancillmy addition to an existing light manufacturing use. Lone Star
Plywood has been at this location since the early 1990's and wishes to add
a dust collector to the facility. In adding the collector, the applicant
proposes to screen it with a 17 foot-high masonry fence. The screen will
complement the facade of the existing building and include rearranged
landscape planting. The addition is approximately 62 by 57.5 feet and
contains 3,565-square feet of screened area. Being somewhat taller than
the collector, it should do an adequate job of screening the equipment it
contains. A note on the site plan (Sheet A3.1) states that a concrete block
wall will be constructed with a brick veneer surface to match the color of
the band at the top of the existing building. The applicant has provided
staff with a color board of the brick being used for the screening wall, as
well as color of the 24 foot by 16 foot metal swing gate. The color board
indicates the wall will be of a cream colored brick emulating the surface of
the existing building, not the accent strip at the top. That discrepancy
needs to be resolved at the Planning Commission meeting to ensure
compatibility with the existing structure.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Based upon the fact that this addition will not adversely affect the
surrounding development, is screened with landscaping, and the screen
will match a portion and complement the remainder of the existing
building, staff can support this request. We would add that the color

board, with a sample of the brick to be used in the screening wall,
appears to be in conflict with Sheet A3.1. We believe the brick
screening wall will emulate the surface of the existing building, not the
accent strip at the top as indicated on Sheet A3.1. With that point
clarified, staff supports this request.
