SUMMARY
The proposed project would require a Zoning Text Amendment to Article 1, Chapter 10, Section 10-1.1600 to modify the allowed uses within the IP (Industrial Park) District to include “Truck Terminals,” which would allow for delivery of product to end users, as a conditionally permitted use; and the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a last mile delivery station for Amazon Logistics at the subject site. The Amazon “last-mile delivery station” would operate 24 hours a day in the recently constructed, approximately 507,500 square foot light industrial building at 2701 W. Winton Blvd. Packages would be received, sorted and distributed to consumers in small delivery vans and by Amazon FLEX drivers throughout the region. All uses, including fleet parking, sorting and loading, would occur within the building, and there would be a small customer pick up area in the warehouse.
