Summary

A quasi‑judicial hearing produced a unanimous council approval for a four‑story self‑storage building at 14180 Northwest 77th Court after applicant and staff showed design articulations and dense landscaping to screen an existing 141‑foot antenna on the parcel.

The council approved site plan PHSP2026‑0195 and a variance to permit a four‑story self‑storage building at 14180 NW 77th Court after a brief applicant presentation and no public opposition during the hearing.

Applicant Felix Pardo described the site as constrained by an existing communications tower and explained the design choices used to buffer and screen the tower with landscaping. The proposed building height falls under the municipal 50‑foot height limit; the applicant asked a variance because the code language specifies a two‑story limit for this use despite allowing the 50‑foot commercial height. The applicant showed elevations with fenestration and articulated facades intended to make the structure read more like an office building than typical storage units.

Staff recommended approval and the architectural review committee complimented the design. With no speakers in chambers or online, the council closed the public hearing and voted unanimously to approve the variance and site plan.
