A single family residence, also zoned C-1, is adjacent to the east. Other uses in the general area include a new retail store and a veterinarian's office. The applicant's proposal to construct a storage garage is being viewed as more of a holding use for the property. The use is compatible with uses in the area.

The applicant was advised to contact the other agencies if there were questions about their comments. The Committee determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full Commission. STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for construction of a personal storage garage on this vacant, C-1 zoned, .97± acre tract. The property is located at the western edge of the City's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The rear property line of the site is on the boundary of that jurisdiction. The building will be used for the applicant's personal storage purposes and no business activities will take place in the building or on the site. This is being viewed as more of a temporary holding use for the property. At some point in the future, the property may be developed for C-1 Commercial use and the building may be then be incorporated into a commercial development. The one story building will have metal sides and roof. The only utility to the building will be electricity. The site will have no lighting other than a night watcher to be set by the electric company. No fencing or gates are proposed. The building is to be located some 300 feet off of the street and 70-80 feet from the rear property line. Access to the building is via a single -wide gravel driveway off of the road. Staff is supportive of the proposed use. Staff agrees with the concept of accepting this as more of a holding use for the property with the clear understanding that it will not be used or occupied by any commercial use. There is no bill of assurance for this acreage tract. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of the agenda staff report. 2. The building and site are to be used only for the purpose outlined in the agenda staff analysis and not for any non-residential, office or commercial purposes. 3 April 21, 2016 ITEM NO.: 6(Cont.)FILE NO.: Z-9129 Staff recommends approval of the variance request to allow the gravel driveway and parking pad.
