All additions will be internal to the facility and will occur predominantly where existing hard surface is located. The minor amount of conversion from green space to hard surface can be handled by the existing storm water pond on site as noted in the City Engineer's memo. Landscaping As stated earlier, there are few trees on the site as part of a comprehensive landscape plan (12 planted trees and multiple "volunteer" trees around the pond). If this were a new request within the current ordinance, 25 trees would be required. Staff suggests that the Council consider requiring additional trees along the boulevard, the west property line near the detention pond, and east of the easterly building for screening and improved aesthetics. Building Elevations and Materials The existing buildings are wood frame construction with a rough stucco finish. No building designs or elevations were submitted, however the new construction should be similar, including the stucco finish. Planning Commission Action At the Planning Commission meeting of April 27, 2004 several residents spoke against the zone change due to the fact that it would allow additional apartments to be built if the mini storage facility would be redeveloped.
