Home My WebLink AboutItem 11 Second Reading of Ordinance Implementing a Temporary Moratorium on Processing Applications for Self-Storage within the C-3 (General Commercial) and I-1 (Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing) Zoning Districts A ocoee florida - AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET Meeting Date: September 21, 2021 Item # /1 Reviewed By: Contact Name: Michael Rumer Department Director: Contact Number: (407) 905-3100 x1018 City Manager: r; Subject: Temporary Moratorium on processing applications for Self-Storage within the C-3 (General Commercial) and I-1 (Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing) Zoning Districts. Background Summary: The Development Services Department has received numerous inquiries and requests to meet regarding new Self-Storage facilities within the City's C-3 (General Commercial) and I-1 (Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing) zoning districts. In keeping with the City's visions of providing opportunities for amenities such as restaurants, shopping, mixed-use centers, and employment for its 50,000 residents, a review of the developable land and carrying capacities of self-storage facilities is essential to fulfilling the vision. Currently, the City has 11 self-storage facilities that are operating, under development, or recently approved. Self-storage facilities are unique in that they tend to be large buildings that generate low utility consumption, low traffic trips, and also generate low employment. A moratorium on self-storage facilities'will allow time for staff to facilitate a study on the optimum carrying capacity of units based on current and future populations to better assess future projects and better understand the tradeoffs for having self-storage on a parcel that may be better suited for retail or restaurants based on the City's vision. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve an ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the processing and consideration of applications for development orders, development permits, and building permits for self-storage within the C-3 (General Commercial) and I-1 (Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing) Zoning Districts for a period of six months? Recommendations: Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve an Ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the processing and consideration of applications for development orders, development permits, and building permits for self-storage within the C-3 (General Commercial) and I-1 (Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing) Zoning Districts for a period of six months.
