610 Buckley Drive industrial rezone near the airport
Summary
About 5 acres at 610 Buckley Drive could shift from single-family residential to airport industrial, opening the door to warehouses and offices near Shingle Creek. Residents on the one-lane dirt road worry about traffic, wildlife, and their neighborhood's character. The board advanced both changes to the City Commission, which has the final say.

City Commission - Mar 3, 2026
Two ordinances just passed changing about 5.2 acres on Buckley Drive from single-family residential to industrial use, growing the industrial sector in the southwest quadrant near the airport. The land sits in the Conservation Overlay District, so any development must produce conservation impact reports to protect Shingle Creek.
Advisory Boards - Jan 21, 2026
A draft motion would ask the city to consider allowing warehousing as a conditional use in the T-5U zoning district north of the airport, where recent rezonings have shifted land to industrial business for warehouses.
