Planning Board allows existing shipping containers at Warren Tire but urges zoning standards review
Summary
The Johnstown Planning Board approved continued use of three long-standing shipping containers at Warren Tire Service (203 N. Comrie Ave), citing their location behind the building, good condition, and screening, and recommended the Common Council consider ordinance updates to address shipping containers citywide.
The Planning Board approved the continued use of three metal shipping containers used for commercial tire storage at Warren Tire Service, 203 North Comrie Avenue, while limiting approval to the containers presently on site and their current location. Board members noted the containers have been on the property since approximately 2005, 2007, and 2018 and are located behind the building, maintained, painted, secured, and screened from public view.
Members discussed that the City's Zoning Ordinance does not specifically address shipping containers and recommended the Common Council consider amendments to establish standards for containers in commercial and residential districts. The Clerk was asked to forward that recommendation to the Common Council.
