February 1, 2022 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 9 RE: Max Storage Ï Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Building Materials The Centerville code requires the exterior of industrial buildings Ñto be constructed of brick, decorative block or approved textured masonry product.Ò The buildings are proposed to be all decorative concrete block (CMU) Ï split-face block on the lower part of the building and smooth on the upper part of the building with an asphalt shingle roof. The materials are acceptable. Trash Handling No outdoor trash cans or dumpsters are proposed. Trash will be handled inside each individual unit or within an approved enclosure on site of the same materials and appearance as the building. Engineering/Infrastructure Issue Engineering and infrastructure issues will be reviewed separately the City Engineer and approved prior to issuance of a building permit, consistent with City standards. Rental vs. Ownership The units are presented now as rental or lease, but it is possible the buildings and property could be converted to condominium ownership in the future, as is not uncommon (the property immediately south of this parcel, at 2005 Gateway Circle, is a condominium with two owners in one building). THE CUP runs with the land, but if there are multiple owners on one parcel of land is It is not clear how the City might handle this, should one of the units needs its own CUP. This warrants further discussion. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The basic concept and layout of this project are acceptable but there are several issues that need more detail and clarification before making a final recommendation. I recommend that the Planning & Zoning Commission discuss the project and sort through the questions and issues they have. When the project is considered for a recommendation to the City Council, conditions might include the following: 1) Uses permitted within the units on site are storage inside the building or any Permitted Use in the I-1 zoning district, provided there is no use that produces noxious odors, fumes, smoke, or dust, as determined by the City Council. 2) Any other use that is allowed by Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the I-1 zoning district will need further discussion and clarification from the City Attorney. This may involve the property owner applying on behalf of the individual unit renter to address the issues involved and process the CUP through the City, which as amended would still run with the land. 3) All goods, materials, and equipment must be stored completely within the enclosed buildings. No outside storage is allowed, except for vehicles owned and used by the tenants or owners of the units which may be parked overnight in approved parking spaces.
