Board of Adjustment approves 11-building indoor storage development in FG 80 Holdings
Summary
The board voted unanimously to grant a special-use permit for 11 indoor storage buildings totaling about 111,600 square feet on Lot 4 of FG 80 Holdings, Sixth Edition; staff said the site is better suited to storage due to limited commercial access.
The Bettendorf Board of Adjustment on Aug. 14 approved a special-use permit allowing an 11-building indoor storage facility on Lot 4 of the FG 80 Holdings, Sixth Edition development.
Planning staff summarized case 25-036-SU, saying Lot 4 covers about 12 acres and the proposal includes 11 indoor storage buildings totaling about 111,600 square feet, with individual buildings ranging from roughly 10,000 to 10,800 square feet. Staff noted the proposal would produce no more than about 400 individual storage units when completed and that the site is zoned C-3, where indoor storage is allowed with a special-use permit. "Staff contends the proposed location has limited commercial development potential due to access distance from main roads and it being so close to the interstate," the staff report said, and staff recommended approval.
No public speakers registered support or opposition during the hearing. A board member moved to approve the special-use permit, another seconded, and the board voted unanimously to grant the permit.
The staff report identified required next steps, including submission of a site development plan and final platting before building permits could be issued. The planning presentation showed access from private drive lanes off Forest Grove Drive and indicated surrounding development could buffer noise and visual impacts.
