Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) to BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing, and Wholesale Commercial).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from BU-1 and BU-2 to all BU-2 on a vacant lot for the purpose of constructing a self-storage facility on the entire parcel. BU-2 allows for outdoor storage; however, the applicant is not proposing outdoor storage at this time. Self-storage mini-warehouse use is permitted in BU-2. Currently, the front 150 feet of the parcel is zoned BU-1, while the remainder of the property is zoned BU-2.
The development of a self-storage facility could be considered compatible with the current uses in the area, which include automobile sales and repair, general retail, and warehousing. There is another self-storage facility located approximately 696 feet to the east of the subject property.
The abutting parcel to the north is a 5.03-acre parcel zoned AU and developed with single-family residences. The abutting parcel to the east is currently vacant and has a zoning classification of BU-1. The property to the west has the same split zoning as the subject parcel, with the front 150 feet of the parcel zoned BU-1 and the remainder zoned BU-2. An auto body shop occupies the BU-1 portion of the property, while the rest is used for parking. The property across West New Haven Avenue is zoned BU-2 and contains multi-family housing.
The Board may wish to consider whether the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On January 10, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
