Item No. 14 memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Alan Efrussy, AICP, Planning Manager SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE FROM A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR SELF - STORAGE/MINI WAREHOUSES AT 425 N.E. LOOP 286. DATE: October 4, 2016 BACKGROUND: This application is for a public hearing to consider the petition of Lesa Coder on behalf of Crest Water Properties for a change in zoning from a Commercial District (C) to a Commercial District (C) with a Specific Use Permit (52— Self— Storage/Mini Warehouses), on City Block 306, Lot 1B, being located at 425 N.E. Loop 286. This property is comprised of 1.41 acres, and is not located in a FEMA floodplain. At the October 3, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting the commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve this rezoning request, conditioned upon all the staff recommendations for conditions regarding the required Site Plan and to address the request of the director of public works for a utility easement. The applicant Lesa Coder spoke in favor of this rezoning request, and no one else spoke either in favor of or in opposition to this request. As noted, the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval was contingent in part upon the applicant's addressing the request of the public works director for a utility easement. Because the public works director and the applicant have not, as of the time of this writing, been able to confer regarding the utility easement, I have not included a proposed ordinance with his memorandum. You will receive a proposed ordinance prior to the October 10th council meeting for your review. STATUS OF ISSUE: The City Staff has determined the following: A. Existing Land Use: The subject property is currently improved with the Pavilion Apartments, comprised of four individual two -story buildings with associated parking spaces. There are also four self — storage /mini— warehouse structures that are each one —story in height.
