Ice Cream Factory New Facility Construction – Height Variance for Rooftop Unit Enclosures

A recent meeting document Lebanon - Board of Adjustment Meeting Agenda Packet - 2026-06-11 indicates a future potential acquisition A request has been submitted and discussed for a height variance from 45 ft. to 66 ft. at the 1200 Block of Ice Cream Way in Lebanon, MO. The variance is specifically for the building infrastructure, namely rooftop unit (RTU) enclosures, as part of the construction of a new Ice Cream Factory facility. The project includes significant new building construction with prefinished metal trim, insulated metal panels, aluminum storefront windows, metal canopies, and rooftop refrigeration units. The attached conceptual elevations and GIS maps indicate a large-scale commercial facility, likely requiring a range of contracting services including general construction, HVAC installation, roofing, metal fabrication, and possibly technology integration for building systems. The project is still in the variance approval stage, suggesting that procurement for construction and related services will follow. No specific vendor has been selected or awarded at this stage. This type of project typically results in multiple RFPs for construction, mechanical, electrical, and specialty contractors.
