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.
