August 14 1987 <br /> To: Members of the City Planning Commission <br /> From: David M. Childs, City Manager `. <br /> Re: Request from Ken Solie for amendment to the City Zoning <br /> Ordinance. <br /> Through the attached letter, Ken Solie is requesting that the <br /> City Zoning Ordinance as it relates to caretaking units for mini- <br /> storage warehouses be amended to allow two -such caretaking units. <br /> The current language in the Zoning Ordinance allows a caretaking <br /> unit as a conditional use only. The language is as follows: <br /> 7. Dwelling unit of not more than 600 square feet and one <br /> bedroom for use as a residence for a caretaker for a <br /> mini-warehouse facility. No such dwelling unit shall be <br /> occupied by a person other than a bona fide caretaker of <br /> a mini-warehouse facility and the caretaker' s spouse and <br /> dependent children. For purposes of this subsection, the <br /> term "mini-warehouse" shall mean a building or buildings <br /> designed and intended for warehouse use by three or more <br /> different tenants. <br /> The applicants have recently purchased the mini-warehouse <br /> facility previously owned by Bernie Blanske and located at the <br /> intersection of Foss Road and Chandler Drive. This is the only <br /> mini-warehouse facility located in the City at this time. They <br /> state that they wish to add another caretaking residence to the <br /> present facility. I indicated to them that could not be <br /> accomplished without an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> One major question that -needs to be addressed is whether a <br /> facility this small really needs two on site resident caretakers? <br /> It should also be noted that if an amendment to the Zoning <br /> Ordinance is approved by the Commission and the City Council, the <br /> applicants would then have to return to the Commission and City <br /> Council for approval of the new conditional use permit before <br /> such a unit could be allowed. <br /> Because this is a request for an amendment to the text of the <br /> Ordinance, it should be noted that the City Attorney advises .that, <br /> the notice of the amendment is made by publication and posting <br /> only and not by mailing to residents. Such a mailing would later <br /> be required for a Conditional Use Permit hearing if such an <br /> • amendment is actually made to the Ordinance. To date we have <br /> received no calls either for or against this request. <br /> r <br />
