Fittz and Shipman has applied for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District and a specific use permit to allow a climate controlled self-storage warehouse facility in a GC-MD-2 District. Austin Dishman, the property owner, proposes to construct approximately 321 storage units in over 211,000 sq. ft. of building area. The project will be phased with 143 storage units being constructed in 96,525 sq. ft. of building space in Phase One. The remaining storage units and an office for the warehouses will be constructed as the demand warrants. Mr. Dishman indicates that there will typically be 8-10 persons per day visiting the facility. Two 30 foot wide driveways will be constructed with access to Pinchback Road. The property is surrounded by 100 foot wide railroad rights-of-way on the north and south sides. An 80' wide DD#6 drainage runs along the west side of the property. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 39 . Responses in Favor . Responses in Opposition .

ANALYSIS CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL OF SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (SECTION 30-26.E, ZONING ORDINANCE) Application Application is in is not in Comments Compliance Compliance Attached CONDITIONS: 1. That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity; X X 2. That the establishment of the specific use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property; X 3. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities have been or will be provided; X 4. The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provides for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent developments; X 5. That adequate nuisance prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration; X 6. That directional lighting will be provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties; X 7. That there are sufficient landscaping and screening to insure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property; and X X 8. That the proposed use is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. X ANALYSIS continued This application is in conformance with seven of the eight conditions necessary for approval. Comments on Condition 1 and 7 follow: 5. The subject property has been vacant for years and is not conducive to single family residential development. The proposed use will not interfere with the surrounding developed properties because of the two 100 foot rights-of-way and the 80 foot wide DD#6 drainage ditch. 7. The Zoning Ordinance requires that an 8 foot tall wood screening fence and a 10 foot wide landscape strip be installed along all property lines that abut RS zoning. Due to the railroad rights-of-way and the DD#6 drainage ditch that abut the north, south and west property lines, there is adequate separation from adjacent residential uses. The Planning Manager is recommending that the site plan be modified to allow for an 8 foot tall wood screening fence and a 10 foot wide landscape strip to be installed around the single family house.
