RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the North Sector Plan and is currently designated as Suburban Tier which includes a range of use classifications from low to medium density residential uses to neighborhood and community commercial uses. The requested “C-2 CD” Commercial District with a Conditional Use for a Self-Storage Facility with the required site plan is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on surrounding properties in relation to this zoning change request. The proposed change will not significantly alter the land use pattern or character of the immediate area as the proposed change is compatible with the already-existing surrounding pattern of development.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The subject property is currently zoned “MF-33” and this zoning designation is not consistent with the Suburban Tier land use classification as defined in North Sector land use plan.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property is 2.76 acres in size, which can accommodate the proposed development with adequate space for parking.
7. Other Factors:
The Conditional Use zoning procedure is designed to provide for a land use within an area that is not permitted by the established zoning district but due to individual site considerations or unique development requirements would be compatible with adjacent land uses under given conditions. The granting of the zoning with Conditional Use shall only be for the zoning case named in the ordinance approving the Zoning District with the specified Conditional Use provisions.
