not proposed any outdoor storage on the I -P property — all is proposed on the north,
<br />within the 1 -1 zoning area.
<br />In summary, the total outdoor storage on the site should be as follows:
<br />From a strict interpretation of the ordinance, the allowable outdoor storage area, broken
<br />down by district, should be no more than 65,567 square feet. As noted, the applicants
<br />proposed 91,950 square feet which is approximately 35% of the overall site.
<br />For most car storage areas, vehicles can normally be stored taking up about 300 — 350
<br />square feet per vehicle. To store 125 vehicles, per the Sheriff's expectation, a total area
<br />of about 45,000 square feet would be necessary. Reducing the enclosed storage area
<br />to the 65,567 square foot threshold would meet the ordinance, and should easily be
<br />adequate to meet the needs of the Sheriff's Department.
<br />Summary and Recommendation
<br />If the area of storage is reduced to no more than 65,567 square feet, the proposed
<br />outdoor storage CUP could be shown to meet the requirements of the City's zoning
<br />ordinance, with the following additional conditions:
<br />1. Provide additional detail on the landscaping, including a plan showing total
<br />planting proposal.
<br />2. Provide information on proposed lighting, if any.
<br />3. Provide additional detail on layout of the cars in the storage area, and verify
<br />compliance with fire code with the City's fire department.
