Summary

This item requests a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for outdoor storage at 800 and 804 Southway Circle for a maximum of five years. The property is currently a vacant lot zoned "K" Heavy Industrial. The applicant, BDV Southway LLC, seeks to use the 1.90-acre site for outdoor storage, though the specific items to be stored are not detailed. The Zoning Commission recommended approval with a vote of 6-2. Key conditions for approval include securing the storage area, surrounding it with a minimum six-foot screen fence, ensuring it does not interfere with stormwater drainage, and prohibiting the storage of unregistered or dismantled vehicles. The applicant has requested waivers for the screening fence, landscaping placement, and fence installation without a primary structure, which staff notes must be addressed prior to ordinance adoption.

Citizen Impact

This proposal could lead to unsightly storage if not properly screened, potentially impacting neighborhood aesthetics. Residents may also be concerned about the unknown nature of the stored items and potential impacts on stormwater drainage and property values.
