Cannon Automotive Solutions received a recommendation Thursday from the City-County Planning Commission of Warren County for expansion at the plant at 210 Jody Richards Drive in the Kentucky Transpark. The proposal will next be taken up by the Bowling Green City Commission.

LCN Windsor Inc. of New York, doing business as Cannon Automotive, The Electromac Group, plans an addition of 11,390 square feet to its current operation, which now includes a 120,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and a 2,130-square-foot office space. The new space will be constructed on the site of an existing graveled area.

The proposal will increase buildings on the 13.03-acre site to 133,520 square feet of manufacturing and office space.

Cannon Automotive provides tooling, prototyping, production and part validation, according to its website. The operation also has state-of-the-art machining centers.

The property is zoned heavy industrial, being switched from agriculture to heavy industrial in 2004. A former detailed development plan was recommended by the planning commission in 2007 and amended in 2015. Thursday’s action up for discussion was also a detailed development plan.The drainage plan will be reviewed by the city of Bowling Green Public Works Department, with final approval required before the issuance of a building permit.

In another matter, the planning commission voted to recommend allowing Jerry and Martha Wright, 1280 Detour Road, Bowling Green, to set up a vehicle and small machine repair operation on 3.0351 acres at 562 Old Drake Temperance Road. The planning board also voted to recommend a zoning change from agriculture to mixed-use commercial.

A facility that made cabinets and doors formerly occupied the building. Wright said he will have one full-time and one or two part-time people working in the building, engaged in repairing vehicle and machines under 10,000 pounds. The recommendation now goes before the Warren Fiscal Court.

The panel also recommended to the city commission that Shivashakti Inc., doing business as a fuel station at 4805 Nashville Road, be allowed to install truck scales and signage at the rear of its building. The recommendation is contingent upon paving of the graveled area at the rear of the building and an approved access point to Memphis Junction Road granted by the city.
