March 1, 2022 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2 of 5 RE: Max Storage Ï Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan CONDITIONAL USE & SITE ISSUES 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. As suggested previously, the uses allowed in the units will need to be carefully screened for uses that might need a CUP and to avoid parking problems. Landscaping th Avenue are The overhead doors facing 20 considered loading facilities that need to be screened from view of the street. The landscape buffer in the SW part of the site has been widened to 9 ft to allow landscaping as we suggested, with a row of spruce trees intermixed with lower shrubs, as illustrated to the right. Parking Parking is provided in 43 spaces striped on the outside edge of the site opposite each building. The project proposes 20,800 sq ft of building, which would require a minimum of 42 spaces for storage uses at 2 spaces per 1,000 sq ft. Parking should be adequate unless there are more intense uses that lease the space. Each of the units can also park four or more vehicles inside.
