Board approves special exception for storage facility; applicant Jane Higgins to split lot
Summary
The McMinnville Board of Zoning Fields approved a special exception to allow a storage facility to be built after staff recommended conditions would be met. Applicant Jane Higgins said she plans to divide the parcel into two lots and build two climate‑controlled buildings.
The Board of Zoning Fields voted to approve a special exception to allow a storage facility after staff recommended the application meet zoning requirements.
Applicant Jane Higgins described the project: “You're gonna divide it into 2 lots,” she said, and said the storage side would be about 0.9 acres with plans for two buildings (one 60 by 200, the other 35 by 200) and “15 foot of grassy area on each side.” Staff summarized the review, saying, “Staff will recommend approving,” and the board moved and approved the permit on a voice vote.
Board members had few substantive objections; staff noted the project would provide a center lane between buildings, four climate‑controlled doors and adequate parking and access. The board’s approval was taken by voice; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript. The applicant was advised to follow standard permitting steps before construction.
