Recently, Shapiro & Associates Law successfully procured several zoning entitlements on behalf of one of its industrial real estate development clients. The entitlements included special uses to permit a mix of heavy motor vehicle-oriented uses on a vacant 102,000 square-foot building formerly occupied by a national beverage company. Specifically, Shapiro & Associates secured a special use for heavy motor vehicle repair, a special use for a truck freight terminal, and a variance to accommodate truck parking and nearby storm water detention. In doing so we were also able to help our client secure approval for an adjacent surface parking lot which will provide 84 semi-truck/trailer parking stalls and 75 standard parking stalls on a 3.4-acre parcel. In all, the building will be converted from a long-standing single-use building to a six-tenant, multi-use industrial building including a warehouse distribution facility, logistics centers and truck maintenance area.
Our office worked closely with our client to coordinate a strategy to obtain the entitlements needed to lease the building to multiple users and accommodate truck parking, outdoor storage, shipping, distribution and warehousing. As a result, the new zoning entitlements will allow two long-standing businesses to expand and create up to 85 new full-time jobs in the same community and a long-vacant building will be now be put back into a productive use.
