Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z03-048A
Ordinance #1991-2005, passed January 23, 2006, rezoned 5.16± acres from the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development Districts to permit the development of self storage units and limited commercial development. That legislation established specific development standards addressing use restrictions, setbacks, landscaping, screening, exterior building materials, and lighting controls, including restrictions for the self storage buildings to be constructed with split face block and a 4/12 pitched roof. The applicant desires to change the building material to brick and the roof pitch to 2/12. This ordinance will amend Ordinance #1991-2005 by repealing Section 3, and replacing it with a new Section 3 with a modified limitation overlay text. All other use restrictions and development standards established by Ordinance #1991-2005 will remain in effect.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
