Summary

The Thompson's Station Planning Commission approved a site plan for a three-story, approximately 95,000-square-foot self-storage building on a 1.67-acre lot at 4445 Columbia Pike, subject to town contingencies including restoring brick veneer and limiting construction access.

The Thompson's Station Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 24 to approve a site plan for a new three-story self-storage building at 4445 Columbia Pike, at the corner of 840 Lot 2.

Staff presented the plan, saying the project would place an approximately 95,000-square-foot building with a basement on a 1.67-acre lot within a Planned Development (PDP) in the community commercial zoning district. The submission includes 16 parking spaces, which staff said meets the town's Land Development Ordinance (LDO) requirements.

Staff noted contingencies tied to the PDP: construction traffic must use Columbia Pike rather than Declaration Way until the certificate of occupancy; architectural elevations must be revised to reintroduce brick veneer that was removed from the applicant's initial submittal; and the current site-plan approval covers only the self-storage use on Lot 2 — Lots 1 and 3 (a convenience store and restaurant) are approved under the PDP but are not part of this site-plan approval.

Todd Olsen, who identified himself in the transcript as representing "Anderson Bridal Gaps," said the applicant appreciated working with staff and stood ready to answer questions.

Commissioner [mover] moved to approve the site plan "inclusive of all town stated contingencies," the motion was seconded, and the commission held a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from Miss Alexander, Mr. White, Mr. Harris, Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Rumpler; the motion passed.

The approval is subject to the stated contingencies; staff will monitor the applicant's submittal of revised elevations and compliance with traffic‑access conditions before final permits are issued.
