~ ~ Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of 2-21-91 Page 2 of 5 A third condition states that the storage area must be "grassed or surfaced to control dust". The current surfacing appears to be gravel or shell and is partially covered by grass. It must be determined whether this existing surface satisfies ordinance conditions. The lighting requirement requires that lighting be directed inward onto the property and away from adjoining property and rights-of--way. Although the applicant's proposal does not indicate any yard lighting, there will almost certainly be some form of security lighting on the property. Mr. Albrecht stated Section 10-609 requires a minimum of four off-street parking spaces for this type of use. The spaces cannot be located on the rights-of--way as noted on the proposal, but must be located on the applicant's property. The building location noted does not meet the setback requirements of Section 6-500, Table B. The setback requirements are Front - 20 feet, Rear-10 feet, Side (adjacent to RO- W) - 10 feet. Section 10-605 specifies that commercial driveway widths be between twenty and twenty-five feet. The gate and fencing proposed by the applicant appear to satisfy this requirement. Mr. Albrecht stated the Planning & Zoning Commission has three options to • consider besides any additional requirements they might want to place on the property. The options are (1) recommend City Council approval to the Special Conditional Use permit, as requested by the applicant and subject to the conditions required by the Zoning Ordinance on screening, or approval with additional conditions, (2) recommend denial of the request, (3) table the request. Mr. Albrecht stated should this request be granted, the applicant must submit for review and approval a Certified Site Plan and Building Permit application. Approval of both is required before the facility can be developed. These approvals are contingent on compliance with all applicable conditions and City Ordinance requirements. PROPONENTS: Mr. Bruce Binkley -applicant - 4801 Woodway Dr. Suite 300 East, Houston, Texas 77063. Mr. Brinkley thanked the Commission for setting this meeting to hear his request for the development of a boat/trailer/recreational vehicle storage facility. He said he had no problems with any of the requirements of the Ordinance and would meet them if the request was granted.
