A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application was approved on
February 9, 2017 for a new 45,000 square foot multi -tenant warehouse flex building with
outdoor storage as an accessory use on 2.84 acres of land in the I -L zoning district.
The outdoor storage consists of 8 -foot tall POD (enclosed storage containers) units stacked
up to 3 units high at a maximum height of 24 feet at the rear of the property behind the
proposed building enclosed by a 7 -foot tall chain-link fence with slats.
The outdoor storage portion of the application was denied by the Director because it doesn't
comply with the UDC standards listed in 11-3A-14, Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use.
Specifically, the outdoor storage area is required to be incorporated into the overall design of
buildings and site landscaping; so that the visual impacts of these functions are fully contained
and screened from view of adjacent nonindustrial roperties and public streets by a solid
fence or wall with a minimum height of 6 -feet and up to 8 feet. Such fence and/or wall is
required to be constructed of a complementary or of similar design and materials of the
primary structure. See attached site plan.
The proposed PODS will be visible from the adjacent non -industrial property to the east, also
owned by the applicant, designated on the FLUM as MU -R (Mixed -Use Regional) for future
redevelopment, and from the property kitty corner to this site to the northeast. The material of
the proposed fencing specifically does not qualify as a screening material per UDC 11 -3B -
5M and does not fully screen the POD units at their maximum height of 24 feet.
The applicant requests City Council approve a lesser height for 2 units at a maximum height
of 16 feet; and elimination of the requirement for perimeter screening. See applicant's
narrative letter submitted with this application for more information.
