Commission approves contractor‑storage conditional use with no‑residency condition
Summary
The commission approved a conditional use for contractor storage and associated commercial rental units on Country Club Drive and added explicit conditions to prohibit residential habitation of storage/office units.
The Auburn Planning Commission approved a conditional use (CU2026‑022) allowing contractor storage and contractor‑oriented rental commercial units on Country Club Drive, subject to conditions intended to prevent residential use of those units.
Staff explained the proposed use is for covered, enclosed storage and office space where contractors can park work trucks and store equipment; the staff report emphasized prior issues elsewhere with people attempting to live in storage spaces and recommended clear prohibitions against habitation. The commission added a condition that the units cannot be used as full‑time residences and confirmed enforcement would be part of the conditional‑use permit.
No public speakers addressed the item. Commissioners later reconsidered the item to restate and adopt the conditions explicitly, and the motion to approve with those conditions carried.
Next steps: final site‑plan details and conditions will be enforced through development review and permitting; violations would be subject to the city’s enforcement mechanisms.
