Planning Commission recommends City Council approve zoning amendment to allow mini‑warehouses and RV storage in commercial and mixed‑use zones
Summary
On Sept. 28, 2024 the Adelanto Planning Commission voted to recommend City Council adopt zone code amendment ZC‑A‑24‑02 (Resolution P24‑12/Ordinance No. 654) to add mini‑warehouses, storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage as conditional uses in the commercial and mixed‑use zones; staff described the amendment as consistent with the general plan and categorically exempt from CEQA per section 15061(b)(3).
The Adelanto Planning Commission on Sept. 28 recommended the City Council adopt a zoning code amendment that would add mini‑warehouses, storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage as conditional uses in the commercial and mixed‑use zones.
Nai'ika Allen (S1) presented the city‑initiated amendment, identified in staff materials as ZC‑A‑24‑02, and said staff found the proposal consistent with the general plan and the city's development standards. Allen told the commission that the amendment would add those uses to Appendix A (the regulation of uses by zone) and that each proposed mini‑warehouse or storage facility in the mixed‑use zone would still require a conditional use permit.
On environmental review, staff said the zone code amendment was categorically exempt from CEQA under section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA guidelines. Allen recommended adoption of Resolution P24‑12 to recommend City Council approve Ordinance No. 654 to amend Title 17 (Section 17.50.0.02 and Appendix A) to add the specified uses.
Commissioners asked whether there had been prior requests for such uses in the city; staff confirmed there had been requests from applicants. Chair Wagner moved to adopt Resolution P24‑12 recommending City Council approve the code amendment; Commissioner Brett seconded. The commission approved the recommendation; the transcript records the outcome as 4‑0.
Staff noted the amendment would change zoning tables but that individual projects would continue to be subject to municipal development standards and any permitting processes (for example, a CUP for mini‑warehouses in mixed‑use zones). The transcript does not record a City Council date or further administrative timing for the ordinance.
