Summary
Planning commissioners recommended approval of a rezoning and preliminary site plan that would allow a three‑story mini‑warehouse with outdoor storage on State Road 64; staff and applicant said the development fits the corridor’s changing character and includes buffers for adjacent homes.
The Planning Commission recommended approval, 6‑0, of a rezone from General Agriculture to Planned Development‑Commercial and a preliminary site plan to construct a three‑story mini‑storage facility and outdoor covered storage at a State Road 64 frontage parcel.
Applicant Mark Barnaby and Stantec planner Katie LaBarr told commissioners the building would locate near the roadway with outdoor storage set behind the building and cross‑access easements to adjacent parcels in mind for future nonresidential development. The design includes landscaping and an opaque fence where the site edges abut single‑family residences and stormwater basins along the north edge to buffer neighboring properties. LaBarr said the use will generate a low number of vehicle trips compared with many commercial uses and that the design accommodated large recreational vehicles and trailers in the outdoor storage area.
Staff recommended approval with conditions and noted that the site now sits in an ROR future land use area following a 2024 comprehensive plan change; staff found the proposal consistent with the ROR/roadway frontage pattern and said it provides services to new nearby residential communities. The commission voted 6‑0 to forward the rezoning and PSP to the County Commission.
