The applicant has proposed keeping the existing billboard located along Highway 10. City ordinance identifies <br />billboards as a principal use of the property, requiring their removal when the property is dedicated to a new use. <br />The concept planis proposed to be amended to include the billboard asan accessory use on the same lot as the <br />mini-storage facility. <br />Mini Storage Project <br />As noted above, the PUD concept plan includes a number of uses, but the applicant is requesting approval of the <br />mini-storage use with the current application package. <br />Site Plan <br />The storage facility will access Twin Lakes Road through one proposed driveway in the NE corner of the site. The <br />current driveway is shown as full-access, but this will be changed with future improvements to Twin Lakes Road <br />as itis further developed as a 4-lane divided corridor. When the street is upgraded, access to the site will be <br />restricted to right-in-right-out only. <br />Plans identify six buildings of varying sizes that will be rented to the general public for storage uses. The remainder <br />of the site consists of parking and drive areas to support access to the buildings.These improvements impact a <br />delineated wetland, and the applicant is required to comply with state standards for approval of the impacts. <br />Parking and drive areas are bound byB612 curb and gutter and paved with bituminous. <br />Architectural Review <br />The submitted plans show the building togenerally befinished with metal panels of two contrasting colors. Due <br />to the location on Twin Lakes Road and the proximity of the site to Business Park uses, which require upgraded <br />design standards, staff has recommended a condition that the buildings, and all of those proposed within the <br />PUD, comply with the design standards outlined in the Business Park Zoning district. This will require additional <br />material changes (likely adding brick or stone veneer and to add additional contrast and interest) toensurethat <br />projects developed along planned primary corridors are generally consistent. Staff recommends this standard apply <br />to allfacades clearly visible from the public right-of-way. <br />All fencing proposed for this project shall consist of awrought-iron style where clearly visible from the public <br />right-of-way. The fencing will need tobe modified toscreen any proposed outdoor storage areas. <br />Applicable Regulations <br />Zone Change <br />In reviewing aproposed amendment, consideration shall be given to existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly affected by <br />the proposal, theconservation of property values, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at thetime, and relevant <br />provisions, ifany, in theland use plan. <br />In addition tothe requested zone change, the applicant has requested a land use amendment that will impact a <br />portion of the subject site. The proposed amendment will establish a single land use, Highway Business, for the <br />entire site. While the long-term plans included inthe PUD plan include a variety of uses, the proposed uses within <br />the district and the Comprehensive Plan support the rezoning to PUD. <br />Conditional Use Permit/PUD <br />City ordinances outline the process for reviewing a proposed Planned Unit Development project and include a <br />series of standards that the proposal should beevaluated against. Sec 30-1564 outlines thesestandards asfollows: <br />Page 93 of 197
