Board of Adjustment - Sep 16, 2026

Air Products wants to build an air separation plant supplying the space industry, and needed city approval for towers taller than the normal 60-foot zoning cap. The board signed off on the height exception with conditions on buffering and site plan approval. The project still needs a development agreement and site plan approval from the planning and zoning board and city council.
