MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 24, 2011 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. Ayes (4) Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. The City Administrator indicated that if all approvals are received, construction would not start on the park and ride until the spring of 2012. AMEND Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider an Amendment to the ZONING Zoning Code relative to the regulation of storage containers in the CODE — Industrial -Park (I -P) District. The Planning Commission recommended OUTDOOR approval subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City STORAGE Planner. IN I -P The City Planner presented the Council with a proposed Amendment to the Zoning Code with establishes standards for the regulation of storage containers in the I -P District. He indicated that when the City updated its zoning regulations, it paid special attention to the use of storage containers in the I -1 District with regard to number of containers in relation to the size of the property as well as height and size of containers, etc. The Planner noted, however, that the issue of storage containers was not addressed in the I -P District. The Planner pointed out that the next item on the agenda is a request for the use of a storage container on property zoned I -P District. Based on that application, City staff is recommending that conditions be established regulating storage containers in I -P. The Planner reviewed the conditions proposed as outlined in his report dated April 5, 2011. Given that the amount of outdoor storage is significantly limited in the I -P District, he is recommending that no more than one storage container per 15,000 square feet of lot area be allowed, or comply with other area requirements for outdoor storage, whichever is most restrictive. The Planner noted that this standard is about half of what is allowed in 1 -1. Blesener noted that the Council has discussed this issue at a recent meeting, and there was consensus to proceed with the creation of an outdoor storage standard for shipping containers in the I -P District. There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Keis, seconded by McGraw, the public hearing was closed. 12
