RESOLUTION No. 24, SERIES 2006 - A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING DISAPPROVAL OF A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PLAN FOR LOTS 6 AND 10, BLOCK 3, COLORADO TECHNOLOGICAL CENTER (CTC) FIRST FILING AND MINOR SUBDIVISION REPLAT FOR LOTS 5, 6, AND 10, BLOCK 3, CTC FIRST FILING (CTC STORAGE) Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Wood explained John King, with SecurCare Self Storage Inc., is requesting authorization of a minor subdivision replat to adjust a property line and combine two existing lots and a final planned unit development (PUD) plan proposing the construction of 5 warehouse/storage buildings totaling 78,000 SF on a 4.9 acre property. The property is located south of Cherry Street between S. Taylor and S. Pierce Avenues and addressedf 483 S. Taylor Ave. and 486 S. Pierce Avenue. The property consists of 2 undeveloped lots (Lots 6 and 10, Block 3) located in the Colorado Technological Center. The properties have frontage on both S. Pierce Avenue and S. Taylor Avenue. The proposed use is for indoor storage and warehousing of vehicles and household or commercial goods and materials. Small storage facilities and warehousing are permitted uses in the Industrial zoning district. The ownership model was based upon a condominium proposal. Each unit would be owned individually for either business or personal storage. The unit sizes would range from 900 SF to 1,400 SF. The market for the condominium units would be a mix of households desiring indoor storage for boats, RVs and warehousing for businesses inventory or records retention. The proposal included a sanitary dump station for the convenience of the RV users of the facility. The dump station would not be open to the general public and would be monitored by security cameras. No off street parking is proposed for the use. The applicant is requesting relief for the IDDSG standard which requires 2 spaces per 1,000 SF of gross floor area. The overall site exceeds minimum requirements for landscape coverage with 30 percent coverage (25% minimum). The building construction is to be of pre-cast concrete panels, with a concrete block veneer as an accent element. All building elevations would utilize the same materials and colors. The Planning Commission based their recommendation upon findings regarding the lack of on-site management, the lack of adequate visual access for the Department of Public Safety, the lack of monitoring of the dump station to ensure no illicit dumping would occur, the lack of adequate architectural design and detail, and failure to demonstrate compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
