FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a specific use permit to allow a
self-storage warehouse facility in a GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District
FILE: 2064-P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. An exclusive 10' wide waterline easement will need to be
obtained for the waterline with the fire hydrant if one
has not already been recorded.
2. The existing sprinkler line will need to be separated from
the dead-end fire hydrant line.
Sam Parigi, representing JSJ Joint Venture, has applied for
a specific use permit to allow a self- storage warehouse facility
in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)
District. The property is located at 75 N. Major Drive.
The self-storage facility will be located in a vacant building
that once was occupied by an HEB Pantry store. HEB vacated
the building when it built its new store on Dowlen Road. In
2008, City Council approved a specific use permit to allow a
production facility for a cosmetic company. That specific use
permit has since expired.
Exhibits are attached.

This application is in conformance with all eight conditions necessary
for approval. Comments on Condition 1 follow:
3. The subject property is the site of a former HEB Pantry
Store. As such, it generated a great deal of traffic and
deliveries. That use did not negatively impact the
surrounding area. In addition, occupying the now vacant
building with a business will help clean up the area.
