DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A. Moratorium for Mini Self-Storage Facilities <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala, Community Development Director, presented the staff report. On <br />September 28, 2021, the City Council adopted an interim ordinance creating a <br />moratorium on the development of mini self-storage facilities. Staff has recently <br />received inquiries from developers wanting to construct more mini self-storage <br />facilities. Since the City is currently updating its zoning ordinance, staff recommended <br />a one (1) year moratorium on mini self-storage facilities to allow time to review and <br />possibly amend the ordinance. <br />Mr. Colgan commented storage facilities are extremely lucrative for investors. <br />Mr. Vojtech commented they are being utilized and therefore are serving a purpose in <br />the community. <br />Mr. Colgan commented storage facilities are unsightly. <br /> <br /> DATE : October 7, 2021 <br /> TIME STARTED : 8:02 A.M. <br /> TIME ENDED : 9:06 A.M. <br /> MEMBERS PRESENT : Andrew Cravero, Nathan Vojtech, Patrick Kohler, <br />Thomas Colgan, Chad Wagner, Don Johnson <br /> MEMBERS ABSENT : Jim Schueller, Julie Jeffrey-Schwartz <br /> STAFF PRESENT : Michael Grochala, Jessica Eller
