Commissioners to consider Dixon development projects

By Reporter Staff

Dixon planning commissioners will consider the merits of both retail and industrial projects tonight.

Commissioners first will weigh the proposed development of five commercial warehouses, totaling 45,000 square feet, on a 9.5-acre site along Fitzgerald Drive.

The project, by Panattoni Development, will undergo certification of mitigated environmental effects as well as a design review. Tenants for the warehouses have not been identified, according to city documents.

The project has been designed so that the site can be subdivided and sold separately, which would require further city approval.

A 57,500-square-foot retail development also will be up for design review. Pitched by Goldsmith Mancini, the six-building project would front Interstate 80 at the end of Gateway Court.

The six buildings would range in size from 7,500 to nearly 12,000 square feet.

Commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. at City Hall in the Council Chamber.
