I. INTRODUCTION
The subject property consists of 4.12+/- acres (the “Site”) located off South Hamilton Road, south of Winchester Pike. The property is currently zoned L-C-4. The site is surrounded by CPD zoning to the north, east and south and by L-AR-12 to the west. Across Hamilton Road to the west are also existing commercial uses.
The applicant proposes to rezone the Site to L-M to allow for the construction of a self-storage facility. In terms of use, the proposed self-storage facility is a significantly less-intensive use than the currently-permitted C-4 commercial uses. The proposed self-storage will be harmonious in design to the neighboring multi-family and will have little impact on traffic and city services.
