Cleburne planners to vote on rezoning 63 acres near Amazon facility for industrial use

• A developer (KBC Advisors) wants to rezone about 63 acres off County Road 1125/Industrial Boulevard from agricultural to industrial, paving the way for warehouses, distribution centers, or manufacturing facilities. • The site sits between the existing 1.7-million-square-foot Amazon facility to the south and a recently rezoned 138-acre industrial tract to the north, continuing a pattern of heavy industrial growth in that corridor. • The rezoning conflicts with the City's Future Land Use Plan, which designates the western portion of the land for medium-density residential and the eastern portion as a mixed-use 'Node' — planners acknowledge the inconsistency but note surrounding development supports industrial use. • No specific building plans have been submitted; approval would allow any permitted industrial use on the property, with detailed site plans and subdivision plats required later. • Roads: The city's master plan calls for a new north-south minor collector (Cattleman Drive) to run through the property, and Industrial Boulevard frontage requires 75-foot right-of-way dedication when the land is platted. • As of the agenda's writing, no neighborhood opposition letters had been received, though 11 nearby property owners were formally notified.
