i ! CASE # ~. REQUEST FOE SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SELF- SERVICEiSTORAGE FACILITIES IN THE B-3 HIGHWAY BUSINESS DISTRICT; CASE OF WILLIAM DUBATS By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: William Dubats h~s applied for site plan approval to consumer serf-service storage facilities on Lot 3, Block 3, Rive~ide West. Serf-service storage is not a specifically permitted use in the B-3 Highway Businesg Disu-ict and accordingly, Mr. Dubats has applied for a conditional use permit. The following itc ~ms are enclosed: a) SiS location map b) Si~ plan and supporting documentation c) City Staff review letter dated February 25, 1994 d) Le_uer from W.C. Dubats dated February 25, 1994 regarding drainage concerns Observations: This development would be an expansion of the self-service storage facilities currently existing on Lots 1 and 2 of Riverside West and the new buildings would receive access via the main entrance on Lot 1. For sp~ing consistency with the buildings on Lots 1 and 2, Mr. Dubats is proposing to construct the firs! building on Lot 3 at the north property line with no side yard setback. Mr. Dubats has properly applied for a variance to the side yard setback. The construction of 3 self-service storage facilities is proposed for a total structure area of 18,700 square feet. City~ Code requires that 100% of the exterior facing finish, exclusive of doors and windows, be other than metal. In accordance with City Code, the storage facilities are a series of overhead doors sfllpponed by decorative concrete pillars. City Code requires that all driveways and maneuvering areas be paved and fini.~hed with 6 inch continuous conc~te curbing. In accordance with City Code, Mr. Dubats is proposing to apply a bituminous surface to all m~ueuvcring areas. Continuous concrete curbing would not be zequired on thc north pro~rty Hne because it would prohibit entrance to the facilities from Lots 1 and 2. Concrete curbinglhas been proposed along the east and west property lines and a sm~l! portion of the south propcrt~ linc. Thc site plan should be modified to provide concrete curbing along the entirety of the sotlth property line. City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscape area along all streets and along those areas where a commercial use i~ adjacent to a residential use. This requirement would apply to the west, south and east properrtt lines. As for the east property line or the Ebony S~-eet side, City Staff is recommending w~ving the 20 foot landscape requirement in lieu of the intense commercial activity generated across~ the street by Superbowl. In order~ to maintain consistent spacing between buildings and sufficient maneuvering area, the maximum landscape area that can be achieved along the south proper0~ line is 15 feet. City Staff does not object to a 5 foot reduction in the requirement as long as the prcSperty owners to the south do not have an objection. The requirement cannot be achieve at all aloOg the west property line. In discussions with City Staff, it has been determined that waiving the ~ foot deep landscape area along the west property line could be accommodated if Mr. Dubats woul$ be willing to plant the required screening on the park trail corridor which runs parallel with the West property line.
