TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: May 5, 2016
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Approving a Text Amendment to Ordinance Number 3100, being the Aurora Zoning Ordinance to modify Section 3.3. Definitions, Sec. 19.2 Adoption, and Table One: Use Categories, Regarding "Truck Stop Establishments" (City of Aurora - 16-00387 / KDWK-16.060-TXT/AZO - TV)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this proposed text amendment is to modify the Aurora Zoning Ordinance to add a use category for truck stop establishments and related regulations.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Staff is seeing a recently renewed trend in the development of fueling centers incorporating separate diesel fuel stations that are designed to accommodate semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles. One such facility was recently constructed at the northeast corner of Wolf's Crossing and Route 30 in Oswego. Such facilities do not currently have a separate definition under our zoning ordinance. Staff believes that this use is more intense than a typical gas station use and, therefore, would propose to define these type of uses as newly defined "truck stop establishments".
This text amendment would add a definition for truck stop establishments and classify them as a Special Use under the B-2, B-3, M-1 and M-2 zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission recommends APPROVAL of the Ordinance Approving a Text Amendment to Ordinance Number 3100, being the Aurora Zoning Ordinance to modify certain portions being Section 3.3. Definitions, Sec. 19.2 Adoption, and Table One: Use Categories.
