MSL Properties, LLC
Owner:
Same
Request:
Rezone approximately 5.94 acres from (I) Industrial District to (GB)
General Business District
Location:
Industrial Park Drive
Surrounding Uses and Zoning:
South: (POL) Public Open Land and (PUD) Planned Unit Development –
Northeast Mississippi Regional Center and Grand Oaks, PUD II
North: (RC) Multi-Unit Residential – Undeveloped vacant land
East: (NB) Neighborhood Business – Undeveloped vacant land

Zoning History –The zoning of the subject property was established in 2004.
Planner’s Comments:
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 5.94 acres of currently zoned
(I) Industrial vacant land to a (GB) General Business zoned classification.
A request to rezone approximately 20 acres of (I) Industrial zoned property to (RB) TwoUnit Residential (3.16 acres) (RC) Multi-Unit Residential (5.28 acres) and (NB)
Neighborhood Business (11.03 acres) was approved in 2009. (Planning Commission
Case #1513)
The criteria to rezone property are cited in a number of Mississippi cases and are as
follows:
1) Mistake: There is a mistake in the original zoning (scrivener’s error) or
2) Change: to what extent the character of the neighborhood has changed to with
regard to such major economic, zoning, physical, or social changes, if any, have
occurred in the vicinity of the property in question.
3) Public Need: Is there a need in the area or neighborhood where the subject
property is located for the requested zoning classification.
1
Mistake: Based on past zoning maps the there is no record of a mistake in current
zoning classification of the subject property.
Change: Many changes in this part of Oxford have taken place in the recent past.
There has been increased development activity in Grand Oaks, PUD II. With the
construction of the Grand Oaks Country Club and the development of new subdivisions
occurring around it, vehicular traffic has increased along Industrial Drive to these newly
developed areas. In addition, Oxford University School was approved in 2013 and
constructed in Parcel #22; as specifically dedicated for a school in Grand Oaks, PUD II.
Completed in 2014 OUS is located to the south of Industrial Drive and a road was
constructed as primary ingress and egress to the site.
Conversely, a number of industrial properties in this area have moved or changed to less
intense uses giving the appearance of a somewhat defunct or obsolete industrial zoned
area.
Need: The need in the area for the proposed zoning is documented by the absence of
vacant general business zoned property in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
In addition, the proposed general business zoning will function as a land use buffer
between the more intense industrial zoning to the west and the neighborhood business
and less intense residential zoned property adjacent to the east and beyond in the
Grand Oaks, PUD II.
Recommendation: If the applicant adequately documents that the character of the
neighborhood has changed to the extent to justify reclassification and that there is a
public need for the rezoning, staff would recommend approval for the rezoning request.

What changed or changing conditions make the passage of this amendment necessary?
The further development of Grand Oaks to the north and east of the subject property, along with the recent establishment of the Oxford University School to the south and west of the property are the main
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
factors causing the character of the neighborhood to change and create a public need for re-zoning. There are undeveloped portions of the Grand Oaks PUD to the south and east of the property that are
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
planned for development as well. The subject property borders the Industrial Drive Extension, which provides access to these future phases of residential development. This re-zoning will enhance the land
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
use buffer between the more intense future development to the south and the low density single-family character to the north, hence the buffer between the PUD and existing Industrial developments.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What other circumstances justify the proposed change?
This property is also contiguous to other previously re-zoned Industrial sites that were re-zoned for Neighborhood Business and Multi-unit Residential, which will also work to improve the land use buffer upon development.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The need for industrial is currently and can be met by the existing Industrial area to the west and the several hundred acre Industrial Park to the North. The Industrial Park Dr connection to Highway 7 will likely experience
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
increased traffic as Grand Oaks continues to develop and the widening of Highway 7 is completed. The property is also located on the main corridor which provides access to Oxford University School. If developed with the current Industrial zoning,
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
a high volume of heavy truck traffic could result from this development, causing unsafe conditions for students, parents, and faculty. Another reason the proposed change is justified by the lack of general business zoned property in the general vicinity.
