Referral to Planning Board -changing the permitted uses in a CD-2
district to allow for self storage.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Forward the proposed ordinance to Planning Board for its review and recommendation.
SUMMARY
At the May 16, 2012 meeting, the Land Use and Development Committee had a
discussion related to "self-storage warehouse" use in the CD-2, Commercial Medium
Intensity zoning district as a Conditional Use; this use is a Conditional Use in the CD-1,
Commercial Low Intensity district, and is a main permitted use in the 1-1 Urban Light
Industrial District. The Committee recommended that the proposed ordinance be
referred to the Planning Board for its review and comment.
At this time it may be appropriate to update the actual list of Conditional Uses within the
CD-2, Commercial, Medium Intensity, zoning district by adding "Self-Storage
Warehouses" as Conditional Uses. However, while staff agrees that there is a need for
this use throughout the City, there are a few concerns that must be expressed in this
regard.
It should be noted that the CD-2 districts throughout the City are either adjacent to
residential uses or separated only by alleys. One of the concerns is the compatibility of
self-storage warehouses to the residential areas that are in close proximity, as well as
the traffic, parking and the noise that may be generated by this use. A self-storage
warehouse is categorized as an establishment engaged in renting or leasing secure
space for self-storage such as rooms, compartments, lockers, containers or outdoor
space where clients can store and retrieve their goods. As it is in the CD-1, staff
suggests that "self-storage warehouse" be a Conditional Use in the CD-2 district to
ensure~o liance and recourse if there were to be problems with the operation.
