Commission approves two 40‑ft storage‑container CUPs after visibility review

Oct 13, 2026

Coconino County regulators approved two conditional use permits authorizing 40‑foot storage containers. One (CUP 26‑033) was pulled for discussion over visibility to nearby homes and approved with staff latitude to require screening and color matching per Section 3.10; the other (CUP 26‑027) passed on the consent agenda.

The full story

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved two conditional use permits authorizing 40‑foot storage containers. Staff noted both proposals meet setback requirements and that color and finish must comply with Section 3.10 of the zoning ordinance. Vice Chair Best asked staff to examine the CUP 26‑033 siting because the container appears to be visible from two nearby houses; staff said they would work with the applicant to locate the container within natural screening if feasible, but the proposed siting met setbacks and the applicant proposed to paint the container to meet ordinance color requirements.
