ITEM SUMMARY:
Forming America, located at 1200 North Prince Crossing Road, operates a concrete forms
manufacturing facility with ancillary outside storage that originally received Special Use Permit
approval in 2007. The Special Use Permit is to allow outside storage on the property ancillary to the
principal use of a concrete forms operation. The Special Use Permit has been amended six times. One
of the conditions of the Special Use Permit approval is the requirement to pave all areas of the
property where outside storage would occur. Paving of these areas took a considerable amount of
time and several amendments were approved extending the timeframe for when paving had to be
completed. Forming America completed paving all areas where outside storage is occurring as
indicated on their Paving and Layout Plan. All outside storage is now currently located on paved areas.
The petitioner is now proposing to pave the final area property, which is located immediately north of
the existing paved areas. To do so, a seventh amendment is needed to the Special Use Permit to
include this area in the controlling pavement plan. The proposed paved area is 80,937 square feet.
The existing detention basin was not originally sized to accommodate this area and therefore the
petitioner is also proposing to increase the volume of the existing detention basin. The proposed size
and modifications to the detention have been determined to be sufficient for the additional 80,937
square foot paved area. Both the City’s Stormwater Engineer and the Public Works Department have
approved the plans for the increased detention basin and pavement area. The paved area will be
screened with a fence to match the height and style of the existing fence along North Prince Crossing
Road.
At their June 3, 2025 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Special Use Permit Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Special Use Permit Amendment at 1200 North
Prince Crossing Road.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Members of the Development Committee voted unanimously (6-0) in support of the Special Use Permit
Amendment.
