Summary

A conditional-use request to develop a five‑building self‑storage facility on 5.45 acres along Highway 17 was recommended for approval; the applicant said the layout fits the commercial corridor, and commissioners noted the project will require site-plan review and adherence to setback and spacing requirements.

The commission recommended approval of a conditional-use permit for a five‑building self-storage facility on a 5.45‑acre commercially zoned parcel on Highway 17.

Applicant (represented in public comment) described the site plan and existing retention-pond easement and said the development would align with commercial growth along the Highway 17 corridor. "Storage facility seems like a good way to do that," the applicant said, describing the parcel’s access and limited room for expansion. Staff said the proposed buildings meet required setbacks and spacing, but that a formal site-plan review will be required before construction.

Commissioners asked whether storage units are a permitted conditional use in the commercial general zone and confirmed the project meets the listed standards; they voted to approve the conditional use and instructed the applicant to complete site-plan requirements and coordinate any easement/retention matters prior to permits.
