<br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session for May 20, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\PC 19-007 – 1780 Gateway Blvd.- Public Storage - Concept Plan <br />Review\Memos_Reports_19-007 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Zoning Code Amendment <br />The Zoning Code does not currently include a land use category for self-storage facilities. The <br />land use category most similar to this use would be warehousing, which has the following <br />definition in the Zoning Code: “the storage and distribution of materials and equipment within an <br />enclosed building, but not including personal storage facility.” While the Zoning Code does not <br />have a land use category for self-storage facilities, this use is specifically prohibited in certain <br />districts. The special requirements for the B-2 District and Gateway Business District state that <br />“mini storage facilities” are prohibited to locate within those districts. <br /> <br />If the applicant were to move forward with the proposed development, an amendment to the <br />Zoning Code would be required to create a new land use category for a climate controlled self- <br />storage facility. If the City Council is supportive of this request, staff will complete an analysis of <br />the existing Gateway Business district standards and provide that along with a recommendation <br />for a potential ordinance amendment at a future workshop meeting. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />A.
