Staff recommends zoning change to require conditional use permit for self‑service storage
Summary
Planning staff proposed an amendment to require conditional use permits (CUPs) for self‑service storage in all districts where it is currently allowed by right; staff said performance standards would not change and economic development supports the amendment.
City planning staff brought forward an amendment to the zoning ordinance to require conditional use permits for self‑service storage in every district where the use currently is allowed by right.
Staff said self‑service storage often uses substantial land with limited day‑to‑day economic activity, and requiring a CUP would allow site‑specific review of potential impacts to corridors and industrial areas. The presentation included a map showing the city’s existing self‑service storage locations and noted that currently there are no CUPs for such facilities in the city.
Under the proposal, performance standards for storage facilities would not change; the proposed zoning text amendment only adds the CUP requirement in the districts where self‑service storage is permitted. Staff told the commission that the city’s economic development office supports the text amendment.
No formal vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt; the item was presented and staff took questions from commissioners.
