AJ. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Indoor Self -
Storage in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district on the property located at 4402 Williams
Drive, bearing the legal description of Lot 5-B1 of Amend Plat of Lot 5-A and 5-B, Eckerd's at
Cedar Breaks Subdivision and Lot 6-A of Eckerd's Cedar Breaks Subdivision (2021-8-SUP). Ryan
Clark, Planner
Ryan Clark presented the staff report. This request is for an indoor storage facility which is
proposed to be three stories, three buildings and the large will be 39 feet tall. This application
partially complies with the development criteria. The health and safety of the are is partially
affected by the height of the building between a nature preserve and one-story buildings to the
south and west on the adjacent properties. This is a destination use which will not have as much
traffic as the existing daily uses in the area. The frontage on DB Wood is not significant since this
will be the one-story building, but the three-story large building behind it will be very visible
from DB Wood. Clark also explained that the indoor storage uses does not match the intent of the
comprehensive plan for that area.
Commissioners asked questions about the nearby storage facilities and the impact on that area.
They also verified if there would be any future access to Williams Drive from this property. Clark
stated there is a possibility for future access, but it is not indicated on the plans.
Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with no one coming forward.
Motion to approve Item AJ by Haynie. Second by Noble. Approved 6 — 0.
