Request filed by staff to amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, pertaining to office uses in the M-2 General Industrial zoning district (Exhibit 35-28 Land Uses Authorized in Zoning Districts). The complete text of the amendment is available for review at the Department of Planning and Protective Services, 320 E. McCarty Street, or may be viewed at the Planning Division webpage at www.jeffcitymo.org. Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the proposed code amendment would establish office uses under 100,000 square feet as a permitted use in the M-2 General Industrial zoning district and offices uses over 100,000 square feet as a special exception use in the M-2 district. He stated that prior to the 2002 zoning code rewrite, offices were a permitted use in the M-2 General Industrial zoning district. Mr. Barron explained that many office uses continue to exist as non-conforming uses in the industrial areas, and staff occasionally receive inquiries about possible conversion of existing buildings in the M-2 district to office uses. Adam Grayson, Martin and Grayson, LLC, 119 E. Atchison Street spoke in favor of this request and explained that he is here on behalf of the local small businessmen. He stated that the proposed zoning amendment brings direct benefit to the city in the form of jobs, businesses and income.

He stated that he has heard from people currently desiring these locations. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
