MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sonya Watters, Associate City Planner
CC: City Clerk, City Attorney, Bruce Chatterton
RE: Franklin Mini -Storage — City Council Review (AP -15-002)
Mayor Tammy de Weerd
City Council Members:
Keith Bird Joe Berton
Luke Cavener Genesis Milam
Charlie Rountree David Zaremba
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CUP -15-001) on April 16, 2015 for a
self-service storage facility in a C -G zoning district within 300 feet of a residential use. A condition of approval
(#1.8a) requires a 25 -foot wide landscape buffer to be constructed along the entire west boundary of the site
adjacent to the residential uses in accord with UDC Table 11-2B-3.
The width of the buffer required adjacent to residential uses is determined by the district in which the property is
located, unless such width is otherwise modified by City Council at a public hearing with notice to surrounding
property owners, per UDC 11 -3B -9C.2. The applicant requests Council approval of a reduced buffer width of 8.5
feet along the northern 703 linear foot portion of the western boundary as shown on the attached landscape plan;
the southern portion and the northern 25 feet of the west boundary will meet the minimum required buffer width.
The applicant's request is based on the future land use map's designation of MU -C for the property adjacent to the
west boundary of this site. The UDC requirement is based on the current use of the land, except where the
adjacent property is vacant; in which case, the Directory may determine the adjacent property designation based
on the Comprehensive Plan designation. There are residences on the two properties that abut this site. The
property at the northwest corner of the site is owned by Arnold Burr; a letter was submitted from Mr. Burr
consenting to the reduced buffer width along a portion of his east boundary. The other property is owned by the
Cullip's; consent for a reduced buffer width has not been submitted from this property owner as of the date of
this memo. The Cullip's home fronts on Franklin Road and is not directly adjacent to this site; however, the
remainder of their rural property abuts the site (see attached map). Because the adjacent properties are not
vacant and as a whole are residential in nature, Staff required a buffer to be provided from the commercial
property.
