AGENDA ITEM: PZ-25-0401 Special Use request to allow minerals and earth processing located
at 538 Louisville Road (PINs 95-15-354-003 and 95-15-354-004).
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee members reviewed the
Special Use request during their March 5, 2025 meeting and recommend approval.
BACKGROUND: Hein Construction currently uses the site for material storage and some materials
processing. To bring their use of the property into compliance with the development ordinance,
the City requested that they apply for a special use permit.
The property is located within the M2, Heavy Industrial Zoning District, which provides for the
development of heavy industrial uses that produce significant off-site impacts, have large areas
for storage of raw materials or heavy equipment, or handle large quantities of hazardous
materials. The M2 District is the most intense district with regards to the types of operations
allowed.
The M2 district requires that no building or occupancy permit shall be issued for any listed special
uses or the manufacturing, compounding, processing, packaging or treatment of products until
and unless the location of the use has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
If approved, Special Uses shall not be transferred to another location, nor shall a special use be
conveyed to another use at the same location. Any construction or activity authorized by a special
use approval must commence within 3 months from the date of approval and if this does not
occur the special use shall expire and become null and void.

Commission may impose any conditions that will, in the Commission’s judgment, ensure:
(1) The proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan;
(2) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to
or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare;
(3) The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyments of adjacent properties for
the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values
within the neighborhood;
(4) The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development
and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
(5) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities will be provided;
and
(6) Adequate measures will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize
traffic congestion on the public streets.
(C) Transference. A special use permit shall not be transferred to another location; nor shall a
special use permit be conveyed to another use at the same location. A new special use permit
shall be required for either of these two changes.
(D) Time limitations. The following time limitations shall apply to special use permits:
(1) In cases where the use authorized by a special use permit requires a building permit,
the applicant shall have three months from the date the special use permit is granted
to apply for a building permit. If application has not been made within that time, the
special use permit shall expire and become null and void;
(2) In cases where a building permit is not required, any construction or activity
authorized or required pursuant to the special use permit must commence within
three months from the date the special use is granted. In the event the construction
or activity is not commenced within the three-month period, the special use permit
