Recommended Action

PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting to modify conditions pursuant to CZ-10-22137 to allow development of a self-storage facility in combination with the adjacent parcel on C-1 (Local Commercial) zoned property. Located within a Neighborhood Center Character Area designated by the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, the modification request is consistent with the following Plan Policy: Each neighborhood Center shall include a very high-density mix of retail, office, services, and employment opportunities to serve several neighborhoods. Given that Redan Road is a minor arterial, the proposed commercial use should not cause an excessive burden on existing streets and transportation facilities. The proposed use will have no impact on area schools. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval, subject to Staff’s recommended conditions”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: (3/3/2020) 8-0-0. G. McCoy moved. V. Moore seconded for approval with Staff's conditions. (1/7/2020) Defer to Board of Commissioners 9-0-0. G. McCoy moved. V. Moore seconded for Deferral to the Board of Commissioners with No Recommendation.
