6. New BusinesslPublic Hearings
Case No. P14012 — 355 N. Shamrock Road, Rezoning from M-1 to M-2. Application filed by
JC Chamber of Commerce, property owner, to rezone 11.41 acres from M-1 Light Industrial to M-
2 General Industrial. The property is located at the intersection of N. Shamrock Road and Algoa
Road and is described as part of New Madrid Private Surveys No. 2680 and 2906, Township 44
North, Range 11 West, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce
constructed a spec industrial building on the property in 2007. He stated that in order to allow for
more marketing flexibility and to attract a prospective new manufacturer, the Chamber is requesting
a rezoning from M-1 to M-2. Mr. Barron explained that permitted uses within the M-2 General
Industrial zoning district include recycling centers with outdoor storage and operations, industrial
uses with hazardous materials, outdoor freight storage, and asphalt plants. He stated that rezoning
of the property to M-2 would seem appropriate given the industrial nature of the Algoa Area and
proximity to high intensity industrial uses such as the Scholastic warehouse and the landfill.
Mr. Vaughan arrived at 5:24 p.m. Since Mr. Vaughan arrived after Case No. P14012 was
presented, he will participate in discussion but will not vote. Mr. Fitzwater was designated to vote in
his place.
Mr. Randy Allen, President and CEO, Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce, 213 Adams
Street, spoke regarding this request and explained that a spec building was constructed on the
subject property in 2007. He stated that in the first year and a half they had five prospects that did
not follow through because of the economy. Mr. Allen explained that recently there has been more
interest but it appears that the type of manufacturer that is looking for this type of use requires a
significant amount of outdoor storage. He stated that they are requesting to rezone the property in
order to attract a prospective manufacturer.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
Correspondence was received from Mr. Scott Ginter, Senior Manager of Facilities and
Maintenance, Scholastic Inc., 2931 E. McCarty Street.
Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. George seconded to recommend approval to rezone the property from
M-1 to M-2 to the City Council. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Dutoi, Fitzwater, George, Lester, Nunn, Yarnell
