February 1, 2022 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 of 9 RE: Max Storage Ï Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan PROPOSED PROJECT/RELATIONSHIP TO ZONING CODE STANDARDS The Max Storage project proposes two buildings on the 1.56-acre site. Each building is 50Ô x 208Ô, or 10,400 sq ft, 20,800 sq ft total. The buildings face out to the east and west with both overhead doors and man doors on these outward-facing sides. The two buildings are separated by 15 ft in the middle of the site, with entry doors on those sides of the building as well. Each building is divided into eight units, 26Ô x 50Ô each, for a total of 16 units in the project. Uses The I-1 Industrial Park district includes the following uses, among others: ÑMini-storageÒ is allowed as a Conditional Use. Mini-storage is not defined in our code. A dictionary definition says itÔs a building with individual storage units to be rented or leased. This fits what is being requested. ÑWarehousing/distributionÒ is a Permitted Use in I-1, which would typically mean one business, not storage for many individual businesses in different units. Mini-storage, with individual units, by CUP is how we are processing this request. Permitted uses in I-1 include offices Ï Business and Professional Office and Construction Trade Offices Ï as well as car wash, construction yard, machine shop/repair (inside building), research, and storage accessory to a Permitted Use. There are many other Conditional Uses allowed in I-1, including manufacturing/processing. Retail sales and residential uses are prohibited in the I-1 district. The CUP for the Max Storage mini-storage use would therefore allow storage in individual units, but also any other Permitted Use in I-1 would be allowed with no further zoning approval from the City, other than a building permit, if there were no changes to the exterior of the building or the site. Parking Parking is not specifically noted on the site plan and should be spelled out carefully to avoid confusion or problems on site: Required parking ratios per code are: o Office 5/1000 sq ft o Manufacturing 3/1000 o Industrial/Warehousing 2/1000 sq ft At the minimum ratio of 2/1000 for warehouse (storage) uses, the site needs 42 parking spaces, or 2.6 per unit. If more intense uses are proposed, more parking would be required. There are two options for parking Ï up against the building or opposite the building. Against the building is probably preferable for most tenants and would allow easier maneuvering of vehicles into the overhead doors in most places on site but provides less parking than opposite the building.
