The applicant proposes amendments to the LDRs which would allow self service storage facilities in the CL District as a special exception use with corresponding specific land use criteria. The proposed criteria are somewhat stricter than the criteria applied to CG district self-service storage facilities. Staff does not recommend approval of these proposed amendments. In staff's opinion, self-service storage facilities are more characteristic of warehouse facilities than retail and convenience uses. Warehouse type uses are not compatible with the purpose and intent of the CL District, which is to provide for retail and convenience uses. In staff's opinion, the current LDRs "draw the proper line" between the districts where a warehouse type of use may be appropriate and where such uses are not appropriate. At its March 12, 1992 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission specifically considered the section 24 and 25 amendments proposed by Mr. Hedin. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners deny the requested amendments and continue to prohibit self-service storage uses in the CL zoning district. In regards to the criteria proposed by the applicant, both staff and the PSAC agree that the criteria are adequate to address negative impacts of self-service storage facilities if the Board of County Commissioners determines that such facilities are appropriate in the CL District. The proposed criteria limit the type of activities allowed in the facilities and limit the utilities provided to storage units. The criteria also impose limits on storage unit and building heights, restrict hours of operation, and establish buffering requirements. 19. Section 26. This section corrects a previous error and allows either a distance separation or a building sound proofing option for the development of a veterinary clinic/animal hospital. 20. Section 27. This section clarifies a procedural requirement for modifying an approved preliminary plat if the developer proposes to change the number of lots. The amendment proposal would require a Planning and Zoning Commission re -approval of a preliminary plat if a change in the number of lots resulted in an increase in the total number of lots. All other modification criteria would remain as previously adopted. 21.**Sections 28 - 31. These sections contain standard legal language that addresses repeal of conflicting provisions, codification, severability, and effective date. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Provide staff with direction(s) for any changes to the proposed ordinance; and 2. Announce its intention to take final action on the proposed ordinance on Wednesday, April 22, 1992 at 5:01 p.m. in the Commission Chambers. 7 RPR 08 02 r) BOOP( - 66 F-, �Ua
