Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 13, 2024 Page 3 of 8 Brauneis said that he was in support. Motion to approve Resolution 5, Series 2024 was moved by Moline and seconded by Mihaly. The motion was adopted by a vote of 7 to 0. b) Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 745 S Pierce: Consideration of Resolution 6, Series 2024, regarding a recommendation to City Council for a PUD to allow a small storage facility at 745 S Pierce. Staff Presentation: Post introduced the presentation for the PUD application. He said that the application was for a new self -storage facility in the Colorado Tech Centre (CTC). He noted that the site was vacant and had been zoned for industrial use. The proposal included a detention and water quality pond on the east side of site. Post said that the applicant had proposed including 11 parking spaces, 3 vehicle loading spaces, and 4 bike parking spaces. He noted that this was well below the approximately 32 spaces that would be required under the City's parking requirements. Post then covered the proposed design of the building, and the waivers that had been requested by the applicant. The first waiver was to allow the applicant to not have trees on the north side buffer due to the presence of the storm drain. Staff found that this was a reasonable request. The second waiver request was to allow the applicant to install additional wall signage. The applicant wanted to install an additional sign on the west side of the property as it would be highly visible. Staff found that the request was in line with the intent and limitations of the sign code. The third request was for a reduction in the required number of parking spaces. The applicant had asserted that the nature of the proposed land use meant that the proposed number of parking spaces would be adequate. Post also noted that on -street parking was prohibited in the CTC by covenant. Staff found that this request was reasonable. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommended approval of Resolution 6, Series 2024, with the condition that the applicant shall establish and record a shared access easement with the property to the south concurrent with the proposed shared access point prior to the building permit application. Commissioner Questions of Staff. Baskett asked how many staff were anticipated to work there. Post deferred to the applicant.
