StafTReport
Mini-Storage October 16, 2003
Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU03-003
Baclmround:
The applicant is proposing a mini-storage warehouse on the tract bounded by
West'!, Street (unimproved) on the north, and South 2nd Street on the west.
The property is zoned General Commercial (GC). Mini-Storage warehousing
(SIC #4225) is classified as a Conditional Use in GC zone.
In addition, the property owner wants to replat the whole property and
incorporate the 70'x25' lots across the alley in the development project.
This action increases the degree of non-conformity of the adjacent
55'x25' lots. As a result, these lots would remain non-conforming.
G
Analvsis:
Staff reviewed this request using the Code of Ordinances Sections 106-216,
106-217, and all applicable elements of the La Porte Comprehensive Plan as
a guide. Considerations were given to the following issues:
. Character of the surrounding and adjacent properties;
. Existing use of nearby properties, and the extent to which a land use
classification would be in harmony with such existing uses or the
anticipated use of the properties; 0
. Suitability of the property for the uses to which would be pennissible,
considering density, access and circulation, adequacy of public facilities
and services, and other considerations;
. Extent to which the designated use of the property would harm the value
of adjacent land uses;
. Extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the
capacity or safety of that portion of road network influenced by the use;
.. Extent to which the proposed use designation would permit excessive
air, water or noise pollution, or other environmental harm on adjacent
land use designations; and,
. The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due Oto the
existence of the land use designation.
Land Use - The City's Comprehensive Plan shows this area developing
with commercial uses. The existing land uses are primarily commercial
(restaurants, drug store, auto parts, hardware store, insurance company, and
doctor's office etc.) However, there are single-family residences just west of .
2nd Street and north of West 'I' Street. This use may not be compatible with
the residences across the street. Screening is needed and hours of operation
should be limited. In addition, the property needs to be replatted. It is also
noted that the maximum lot coverage for any development in GC zone is
4()o,Io. Staff will ensure that the lot coverage does not exceed the maximum
during the plan review process.
Transportation - Staff notes that the subject tract abuts on South 2nd
Street (60'ROW) which connects with Fairmont Parkway with 100' ROW.
Mini.storage
SCU03-OO3
Page 2 of3
Conclusion:
e
e
existing properties should not be impacted by the proposed development.
The existing roads are adequate to support the said project. The proposed
development is in conformance with the City's Development Ordinance
and the Thoroughfare Plan.
Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be an
obstacle to this type of development.
Utilities and Drainage - Staff reviewed the existing facilities and services
for each of the components of the utility system for the proposed
development. Existing water is adequate for potable and frre protection
needs. Sanitary sewer is in the alley of the said property. An easement needs
to be retained for the existing utilities in case of alley closing. The
owner/developer will be responsible for any paved area. over utilities.
However, staffrecommends on-site detention for this facility.
Landscaping / Screening - The property abuts commercial uses along
Fairmont Parkway to the south and South 2nd Street on the west. This is the
most public face of the tract. Staff suggests that a substantial portion of the
facility's landscaping should be placed on 2nd Street and West "r' Street. The
building style coupled with the proposed landscaping and setbacks should
result in a facility that is attractive and compatible with surrounding
properties.
Staff found the request satisfies all applicable Ordinance requirements. The
request is compatible with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan. The specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use
and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair
property values within the immediate vicinity.
Based on the facts and considerations presented above, staff recommends
granting Special Conditional Use Pennit #SCU03-003 subject to the
following conditions:
. SCUP#03-003 is specifically limited to the mini-storage/warehouse as
defined in SIC. #4225.
. The applicant shall file an application with the City to close alley in
Block 179. After the alley closing, the property be formally replatted.
. Development abutting "R-1" district shall be screened and landscaped
in compliance with required screening and landscaping provisions per
Section 106-444(a) of the Ordinance.
. Provide an irrigation system to ensure that all landscaping and
screening is properly maintained by the owner/developer.
. Enhance the building fa~ade so that it blends with the existing
residential to be architecturally and aesthetically pleasing.

. Retain easement for public utilities with the understanding that any
