Home My WebLink AboutPacket 7_21_25 DATE:July 21, 2025 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Demi Engman, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for an Amended Specific Use Permit to allow a mini storage facility within a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling 2) zoning district. FILE: PZ2025-173 STAFF REPORT Concord Mini Storage, L.L.C., received an approved Rezoning and Specific Use Permit in March of 2022 to allow the construction of 190 self-serve personal storage units. The property is under construction and when completed will be accessible twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, with an office onsite and gated keypad entry. Meshell Heartfield on behalf of the owner, is seeking an amendment to the existing Specific Use Permit to reduce the landscaping requirements along the North and East property lines as originally conditioned. The landscaping requirements apply where a commercial property abuts a residential property. In this case, the landscaping would be situated between an 8' tall Wood privacy fence and metal exterior wall of the storage facility. The applicant states in their letter "The property will have an eight foot privacy fence on the two sides and rear and we do not need trees and bushes...it will be difficult to maintain and mow and ultimately could interfere with the buildings and or possibly the fences which would then create an issue for the residential and commercial properties." Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. Submit a revised Landscaping plan to the Planning Office. 2. Install and maintain the required 8' tall wood or masonry fence and eliminate the requirement to install trees and shrubs along the North and East property line. 3. Install landscaping along the front property line to screen the development from the right-of-way. 4. Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for water and sanitary sewer services, including any requirements of the City's backflow, pre- treatment, and/or F.O.G program. 5. Maintain or replace (as needed) the sidewalk along Concord Road. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.

Specifically the North and East sides of the property we want to eliminate the landscaping. The property will have an 8 ft privacy fence on the 2 sides and rear and we do not need the trees and bushes. Not only is it an unnecessary expense it will not be seen and it will be difficult to maintain and mow and ultimately could interfere with the buildings and or possibly the fences which would then create an issue for the residential and commercial properties. The storage units are not going to create a noise situation and we would prefer to use our funds to do more landscaping in the front for a better appearance for our city instead of behind a fence where it could create a maintenance issue and or an issue for the surrounding properties and will not be seen. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and we look forward to hearing from you.
