The project site is located within the Airport Overlay Land Use designation which provides for facilities such as warehouses, storages facilities, maintenance and repair facilities, and hangars. The proposed project is an infill development project that proposed to construct new warehouse facilities, which is supportive and compatible with other intended uses in this designation.
