LAND USE EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 3 a. Existing Land Use(s): The subject property consists of rural residential land; zoned RUT in Ada County. b. Description of Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: North: Industrial property, zoned I-L East: N. Ten Mile Road and single-family homes in the Isola Creek Subdivision, zoned R-4 South: Industrial (Existing Stor-It Self Storage) property, zoned I-L West: City of Meridian Wastewater Facility, Zoned I-L c. History of Previous Actions: Prior to submitting an application to the city, the applicant processed a property boundary adjustment through Ada County and removed the 35 foot strip of property from their parcel. This property now has no street frontage ontyo Ten Mile Road. d. Utilities: 1. Public Works: Location of sewer: This proposal does not require sewer service. Location of water: A water main intended to provide service to the subject site currently exists in two locations along the south boundary, and another connection is currently being installed along the north boundary in the Citadel Storage Facility. Issues or concerns: Applicant shall be required to make water connections with each of the available sources, as well as stub a water main to the north boundary in the western portion of the facility. e. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Creason Laterals runs adjacent to the west side of the property. 2. Hazards: Staff is unaware of any hazards that may exist on the site. 3. Flood Plain: This property is not within the floodplain overlay district. 7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject property is designated Mixed Use – Non Residential (MU-NR) on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The purpose of this designation is to set-aside areas where new residential dwellings will not be permitted, as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in these areas. For example, MU-NR areas are used near the City’s waste water treatment plant and where there are mining, heavy industrial or other hazardous operations. The City envisions a wide variety of non-residential land uses may occur in MU-NR areas. Employment opportunities, professional offices, warehousing, flex buildings, and storage uses as well as retail uses are envisioned. Developments are encouraged to be designed similar to the conceptual MU-NR plan depicted in Figure 3-6. See pages 31-32 in the Comprehensive Plan for more information. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-NR areas: No new residential uses will be permitted (existing residential will be allowed to remain and expand accessory structures). Development is not required to comply with the items listed for development in all Mixed Use areas. All developments should have a mix of at least two types of land uses. EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 4 Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire mixed use area is encouraged. In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed, the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space. A transitional use is encouraged on the perimeter of the MU-NR areas between any existing or planned residential development. Community facilities such as a hospital, school, park, daycare, civic building or public safety facilities are encouraged in larger developments. All retail and service commercial components of projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both vehicles and pedestrians. Street sections consistent with the Ada County Highway District Master Street Maps are required within the Unified Development Code. There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed on non-retail commercial uses such as office, food service/restaurants, industry or warehouse uses. Sample uses, appropriate in MU-NR areas would include: employment centers, professional offices, flex buildings, warehousing, industry, storage facilities and retail, and other appropriate non-residential uses. Appropriate zoning districts include: C-G, C-C, L-O, I-L and I-H. The applicant proposes to annex the site with an I-L zoning district which is an appropriate zoning district for an MU-NR designated area. The site is proposed to develop with a self-service storage facility which is also consistent with the list of sample uses. If approved, this project would be an expansion of the existing Stor-It facility immediately to the south. This project is a single use, but part of a larger MU-NR area that surrounds the Wastewater Treatment Plant, so staff does envision a mix of uses developing in the area. There is a mix of commercial near the intersection of Ustick and Ten Mile Roads and across the street will be a park and future single family homes. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics): EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 5 Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area.” (3.05.01J) With the increase of residential units in the area, the proposed storage facility will contribute to the variety of uses in the northern part of the city and will provide a needed service for nearby residents. Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F) The proposed development is contiguous to annexed parcels and city services are available. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed use is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding uses based on the analysis above if the developed in accord with the conditions of approval in this report. 8. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE A. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the I-L district is to provide for convenient employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and distributing. In accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, the I-L district is intended to encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2C-2 lists the principal permitted, accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the I-L zoning district. The proposed self-service storage is a principally permitted use in the I-L zoning district; compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-34 for the use is also required. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the proposed I-L zoning district. D. Landscaping: Per UDC 11-3B-9, a 25-foot ;landscape buffer is required adjacent to the County residence just east of the project. E. Off-Street Parking: As proposed, there is no off-street parking required or proposed for this project. F. Self-Service Uses: UDC 11-3A-16 lists the specific requirements for self-service uses (see section 9 below for further analysis). G. Structure and Site Design Standards: Development of this site must comply with the design standards in accord with UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines listed in the Architectural Standards Manual (ASM). 9. ANALYSIS Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: 1. AZ: The applicant requests annexation and zoning of 11.860 acres of land with an I-L zoning district, consistent with the MU-NR land use designation. The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries of the property proposed to be annexed. The property is contiguous to land that has been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary. The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 6 application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the conditions included in Exhibit B. The applicant proposes to develop a self-service storage facility on the site consisting of the following: 1. Storage Building units varying in size from 5’ X 5’ to 38’ X 52’ totaling 257,874 square feet. The applicant proposes to construct the facility in two phases, with approximately 139,089 square feet of storage in the first phase, and 118,785 square feet in the second phase. Self-Service Storage Facilities: The specific use standards for the self-service storage facility listed in UDC 11-4-3-34 apply to development of this site as follows: A. Storage units and/or areas shall not be used as dwellings or as a commercial or industrial place of business. The manufacture or sale of any item by a tenant from or at a self - service storage facility is specifically prohibited. The applicant must comply with this requirement. B. On-site auctions of unclaimed items by the storage facility owners shall be allowed as a temporary use in accord with Section 11-3E temporary use requirements of this Title. The applicant must comply with this requirement. C. The distance between structures shall be a minimum of twenty-five feet (25’). The distance between all of the buildings meets or exceeds the 25-foot distance requirement. D. The storage facility shall be completely fenced, walled, or enclosed and screened from public view. Where abutting a residential district or public road, chain-link shall not be allowed as fencing material. This property has no street frontage. E. If abutting a residential district, the facility hours of public operation shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The site abuts a residential use directly to the east adjacent to Ten Mile Road. F. A minimum twenty five foot (25’) wide landscape buffer shall be provided where the facility abuts a residential use, unless a greater buffer width is required by this title. Landscaping shall be provided as set forth in subsection 11-3B-9C of this title. Not applicable. The site does not abut a residential use. G. If the use is unattended, the standards in accord with Section 11-3A-16 self-service uses of this Title shall also apply. (See standards from UDC 11-3A-16 below). H. The facility shall have a second means of access for emergency purposes. A secondary access exists out to N. Ten Mile Road, along the eastern boundary of the site just north of the main entrance. The existing access was constructed with the existing Stor-It facility that abuts the project site immediately to the south. I. All outdoor storage of material shall be maintained in an orderly manner so as not to create a public nuisance. Materials shall not be stored within the required yards. Stored items shall not block sidewalks or parking areas and may not impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The applicant shall comply with this requirement. EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 7 J. The site shall not be used as vehicle wrecking or junkyard as herein defined. The applicant shall comply with this requirement. K. For any use requiring the storage of fuel or hazardous material, the use shall be located a minimum of one thousand feet (1,000’) from a hospital. The applicant is not proposing to store any hazardous material on the site. The applicant shall comply with this requirement. Self-Service Uses: The proposed use of the property is for a self-service storage facility. UDC 11-3A-16 requires all unattended self-service uses to comply with the following requirements: A. Entrance or view of the self-service facility shall be open to the public street or to adjoining businesses and shall have low-impact security lighting. There is an existing entrance to the facility with the previously approved section of the storage facility. No new entrance is proposed. B. Financial transaction areas shall be oriented to and visible from an area that receives a high volume of traffic, such as a collector or arterial street. This standard is not applicable. C. Landscape shrubbery shall be limited to no more than three feet (3’) in height between entrances and financial transaction areas and the public street. This standard is not applicable. Site Plan: A site plan was submitted, included in Exhibit A.2 that depicts a storage facility. The design of the site should comply with the design review standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines contained in the Architectural Standards Manual. Landscaping: A landscape plan was not submitted with this application. There is a 25-foot landscape buffer required adjacent to the single family home that is adjacent to the east side of this property. Parking: As proposed, there is no parking required for the project. Parking isn’t required for storage facilities because the trips are usually quick, and there is sufficient blacktop area to accommodate parking as needed. Industrial Zoning: All buildings in the I-L zoning district are required to be set back 35 feet from the street per UDC 11-2C-3. Access: Direct access to N. Ten Mile Road is not proposed for this section of the storage facility. As mentioned above, this will be an expansion of the existing Stor-It facility to the south, so no new access is proposed or required. Utilities: Sanitary sewer service to the proposed development will only be needed for the manager’s office adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road, and therefore no new mainlines will be needed. Though sewer is not required for this portion of the Stor-It facility, water is required. The property to the north was recently approved as a self-storage facility, and with that, staff required that applicant to stub water to the south property line. The applicant will need to coordinate with that property owner and public works to construct water mains to and through the project from the existing mainline in N. Ten Mile Road. Emergency Access: The property to the north (Citadel Storage) was required to provide an emergency access in order to develop a portion of their site. With a public works condition to loop water through both developments, the applicant shall provide an emergency access and EXHIBIT A Stor-It Self Storage – AZ PAGE 8 utility easement from the cross-access and through the subject property out to N. Ten Mile Road. The applicant shall coordinate with the adjacent property owner (Parcel # S0434417200) and with the Public Works Department on the location of the required easements. Master Street Map: The master street map shows a future collector roadway crossing the property; however, staff received comments from ACHD stating that they have no concerns with the subject annexation. Building Elevations: Structures within the proposed development that are visible from the street or abutting properties are required to comply with the design review standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines contained in the Architectural Standards Manual. Building materials for the proposed storage structures/wall around the perimeter of the development consist of ribbed metal walls and trim and metal roofing. Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) and Design Review (DES): A CZC application is required to be submitted prior to issuance of building permits. The applicant is required to obtain approval of a design review application for the proposed structures and site design for the self- service storage facility. This application may be submitted concurrently with the CZC application. The applicant must comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines contained in the Architectural Standards Manual. In summary staff finds the proposed project complies with the future land use map and applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the UDC with the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B. Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff recommends approval of the subject application. 10. EXHIBITS A. Drawings 1. Vicinity Map 2. Proposed Concept Plan (dated: 04/04/2017) 3.
