Council waives story‑pole requirement for proposed 33 Industrial Way self‑storage project
Summary
Planning staff said the self‑storage site is an interior lot with limited public visibility and proposed building heights of about 30–32 feet; council granted the requested waiver to the city's story‑pole requirement.
The Buellton City Council approved a planning request to waive the city's story‑pole requirement for the proposed Sanorita Hill self‑storage project at 33 Industrial Way.
Planning staff explained the code requires story poles 30 days before a public hearing for projects taller than 25 feet, but the applicant asked for a waiver because the lot is interior with limited visibility from the public right of way and the buildings that exceed the 25‑foot threshold top out at about 30–32 feet (the industrial zone allows up to 45 feet).
Staff said the project will still undergo environmental review and that the applicant will be required to submit 3‑D renderings and other materials to accurately represent size and scale during the development‑plan review. After brief questions from council, a motion to approve the waiver carried on roll call.
What happens next: The project will proceed through environmental review and public hearing processes with required renderings and materials; staff will notify interested parties about next steps in the review process.
