SITE LOCATION: The site is located on the east side of Stagecoach Road, just north of its intersection with David O Dodd Road. 2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is located in an area of mixed uses and zoning. A PCD zoned convenience store with gas pumps is adjacent to the south. An elementary school is located just to the south of the convenience store. A commercial development containing a convenience store with gas pumps, a car wash and a Laundromat are located on an R-2 zoned tract across Stagecoach Road to the west.

Staff briefly described the proposed conditional use permit. Staff noted that the only issue was the 40-foot front setback for the proposed storage building. Staff explained that the ordinance required a minimum front setback of 60 feet for accessory buildings in residential zones, and the applicant needed to move the proposed accessory building to meet the setback or request a variance. Mr. Allen explained that the accessory building was placed on the site because of an existing fiber optic cable, which ran across the front of the property. The location of the cable was discussed. The Committee determined that the cable was most likely located in the right-of-way of Stagecoach Road. Mr. Allen explained that he would take measurements on the property and determine if the accessory building could be moved back. After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the issue to the full Commission for final action.
