Commission postpones hearing on proposed mini-storage changes after water/sewer questions
Loading...
Summary
The Planning Commission postponed a rezoning amendment and related special exception for a mini-storage development to the May 28 meeting after staff and utilities raised questions about whether connection to public water and sewer (or a prior well/septic arrangement) applies to the revised plan.
On April 23 the Prince George Planning Commission postponed consideration of RZ26-0002, an amendment to previously approved proffers for a mini-storage development at Prince George Drive and West Quaker Road, citing unresolved public-utility questions.
Staff summarized the applicant's request to modify a previously approved conceptual plan and allow additional commercial uses (dry cleaners, barbershops/beauty salons). The applicant, Tim Stewart of All American 6, LLC, said changes were driven by entrance-design modifications and a 25-foot buffer agreement that required the conceptual shift.
During the hearing staff and the utilities representative noted that public water and wastewater connections would be required for the updated plans and that public water terminates about 1.5 miles from the site — an extension that would be at the developer's cost. The applicant said prior approvals included the option of a subunit/well or septic arrangement; staff said those prior conditions were not evident in the approved ordinance and asked for time to research the record.
Given utility uncertainties and the need to verify whether a prior exemption existed, a commissioner moved to postpone action until May 28 to allow staff to consult with the utilities and building officials and to give the applicant time to address the connection issue. The motion passed on roll call and the commission also postponed the related special-exception case (SE26-0003) to the May 28 meeting.
Staff will review prior approval records and utility-department comments and update the commission at the May hearing.
