FtV storage, and car wash on approximately 5.50 acre tract bounded by West 'K' Street (unimproved ROW) on the north, and West L Street (unimgroved ROW) on the south, South 13th Street on the east and South 15 Street RO.W. (unimproved) on the west. The property is zoned General Commercial (GC). Mini-Storage warehousing (SIC #4225) is classified as a Conditional Use in GC zone. Earlier, the Planning and Zoning Commission, during its May 20, 2004, meeting, recommended approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04-006. City CounCil, at the June 14, 2004, meeting approved the SCUP to build mini-storage and commercial/business center on approximately 9.16 acre tract of land located in the 1200 Block of South 13th Street between West "K" and "L" Streets. As a condition of the approved SCUP, the applicant filed an application with the City to close public alleys and portion of streets in Block 1135, 1136, and 1137. As a part of procedure, consent from the neighboring or adjacent property owners is required. In fact, permission for closing a portion of South 15th Street FtOW was not granted by the adjacent property owner on the west. Eventually, closing of alleys in blocks 1135, 1136, and 1137 along with portion of South 14th Street ROW were processed and approved by City Council. Currently, the property is being formally replatted. In addition, earlier approved SCUP will be expiring soon. The previous SCUP has a combination of commerciallbusiness center with the mini-storage facility. The new plan is a deviation of the previously approved General Plan and SCUP. Therefore, it requires a new Special Conditional Use Permit for the proposed development and final approval by City Council.
