VII. ANALYSIS
The applicant requests an amendment to the existing development agreement (MDA) (Instrument
#113083665) to allow for self-storage uses on the property and to modify certain other provisions of the
development agreement. With the previous DA modification, the applicant did acknowledge that
additional multi-family units may develop on the subject property.
The applicant now desires to develop the property with a self-storage use in the C-G zoning district (see
Exhibit A.2). Under the UDC, a self-service storage facility requires the procurement of a conditional
use permit. The applicant has concurrently submitted a conditional use permit for a self-storage facility
on the subject property in anticipation of an approval of the subject MDA application. The CUP
application is scheduled for the May 17, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission hearing.
