finishes and features, and building massing that is similar to a multi -story office building. Also, since <br />the current building height criterion was established in the early 1990's, CG sites are subject to <br />corridor requirements that address building appearance and basic architectural standards. <br />Consequently, aesthetic concerns about a "tall, ugly warehouse building" are now addressed through <br />corridor regulations. Furthermore, the proposed amendment clarifies that individual self -storage units <br />are limited to a 15 foot floor -to -ceiling height which prohibits an overly massive or out -of -scale <br />single -story self -storage facility and prevents "industrial warehouse designs" with high ceilings and <br />tall overhead doors. Finally, it should be noted that the proposed amendment does not change the <br />Administrative Permit Use approval process for self -storage facilities in the CG district (requires PZC <br />review and approval), and the maximum (graduated) building height of 35 feet is consistent with all <br />other permitted uses/building types in the CG district. Therefore, staff and the PZC support the <br />proposed amendment. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed self -storage <br />ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
