RE: U-Haul Franklin—CR-2022-0008
History: The Planning Director approved a Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review(A-
2022-0232)for the 11,204 square foot U-Haul U-Box Storage Building in the I-L zoning district on
December 13,2022. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review(A-2022-0116)was
approved by the Planning Director to construct a 126,350 square foot U-Haul Store including indoor self-
storage for this site on August 30,2022. Per the conditions of approval,the existing curb cut on Franklin
Road is to function as a gated emergency access only. An existing shared driveway approximately 200
feet to the west is the main access to the U-Haul site in accord with UDC 11-3A-3,unless otherwise
waived by City Council.
Unified Development Code: Per UDC 11-3A-3A.2, access to a local street is not available,the property
owner shall be required to grant cross-access/ingress-egress easements to adjoining properties unless
otherwise waived by City Council.Access is available via a shared driveway along the site's western
boundary from W.Franklin Road. Access to NW 10th Street cannot be obtained because there isn't
adequate distance from the intersection to allow local street access due to ACHD policy. Therefore, a
viable local street access is not available.
