Plan Commission - Jul 7, 2026
A gravel laydown and machinery transloading yard is proposed next to residential neighborhoods off S. 35th Street. Neighbors pressed on dust, berm upkeep, lighting, security, hours, and whether other companies could use the site; the CUP carries conditions and an annual review to address those worries.
