Planned Unit Development (PUD) 248 involves 5.82 acres located one-third mile west of Evans Road, south of State Highway 51. The property is presently zoned A-1. On October 7, 2008, the City Council approved BAZ 1815 to change the zoning from A-1 to IH. In addition, the City Council also approved BACP 98 to change the Comprehensive Plan designation on the property from Level 6 to Level 7. Both BAZ 1815 and BACP 98 were approved subject to the property being platted. The property has not been platted.
Applicant is proposing to construct mini-storage units on the property. According to the conceptual site plan, most of the units will be climate controlled. With PUD 248, they propose to develop the property in accordance with the use and development regulation of the IH (Industrial Heavy), with the following modifications:
• Permitted uses limited to mini-storage and office uses.
• Building height limited to 20 feet.
• The building line setback from State Highway is proposed to be reduced from 50 feet to 30 feet. Along the east boundary (which is under the same ownership), the building line setback is proposed to be reduced from 50 feet to 0 feet. On the south boundary that abuts a railroad track, the building line setback will be reduced from 50 feet to 10 feet. Along the west boundary that abuts Continental Industries, the building line setback is proposed to be increased from 0 feet to 5 feet.
• The number of required trees along State Highway 51 will be increased from one per 50 lineal feet to one per 30 lineal feet, of which at least 50% will be evergreen. The landscape edge is proposed to be increased from 10 feet to 30 feet. No landscape material is required on the interior.
• There will be a six foot high screening fence along the west and south sides of the property.
• Only one freestanding sign is requested and it is proposed to be limited to 20 feet in height and 200 square feet in size. One wall sign is requested on one building next to State Highway 51, and it shall not exceed 100 square feet.
• Access to State Highway 51 is proposed to be limited to one point. Through a mutual access easement, access is also allowed to the adjacent property to the east.
