aiOr th <br /> DATE : <br /> a A P PROVAI, : <br /> April 10, 1990 <br /> TO : Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM : Thomas D. Burt, City Manager <br /> I TEM : ZONING AMENDMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS FROM <br /> WEIS COMPANIES FOR SELF-STORAGE IN A "C" COMMERCIAL <br /> DISTRICT <br /> The applicant, Weis Companies, has petitioned for an amendment to the <br /> Zoning ordinance to add self-service storage (mini-storage) as a <br /> specifically listed conditional use in a Commercial District. <br /> The applicant feels that since the ordinance was adopted in 1973, the <br /> business of self-service storage has evolved to be more of a passive <br /> commercial use. Staff has contacted surrounding communities to find out <br /> what zoning districts self-storage is permitted in. <br /> Arden Hills Zoned Industrial, may put in Commercial by <br /> conditional use. <br /> Shoreview Industrial only. Not allowed in Commercial <br /> district. <br /> Roseville Light Industrial (I1 ) with special use permit, <br /> Heavy Industrial (I2) permitted use. Not allowed <br /> in Commercial district. <br /> New Brighton Light Industrial only. Not permitted .in Commercial <br /> district. <br /> Columbia Heights Industrial district only. <br /> Fridley: Industrial , special use for Commercial . <br /> As evident from the survey, the concept of self-storage in a Commercial <br /> district is not well received in surrounding suburbs. <br /> If the Commission recommends approval of the Zoning Amendment, the <br /> applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use for a self-storage <br /> facility on the Apache Plaza site. The location is north of 39th Avenue <br /> N.E. directly east of the apartments (see map) . The applicant has <br /> submitted a site plan, landscape plan, and letter for your review. <br /> PLEASE RETURN PLANS AND RENDERINGS FOR THIS REQUEST TO MR. BURT OR <br /> MS. VANDERHYEDEN. THANK YOU. <br /> :cjk4.17.90 <br />
