Overview
- The council voted 5–2 to rezone land at 175th Street and Lone Elm Road for Lineage Logistics’ automated cold‑storage facility.
- The approval overturned a 2–5 planning commission denial after staff recommended the project and met the required supermajority.
- City officials said approximately $23 million in tax breaks are being offered to support the development.
- Residents packed the hearing to oppose traffic and chemical risks tied to anhydrous ammonia, and proceedings were repeatedly disrupted.
- Lineage describes a $300 million, roughly 140‑foot, 24/7 facility that could add hundreds of truck movements and about 2,500 daily vehicle trips; officials warned the project could shift to Spring Hill if rejected.
