The parcel consists of a total of 9.985 acres. The western 5.981 acres is currently used for self-service storage and mini-warehouses within seven (7) existing buildings containing 109,644 square feet and a total of450 storage units.

Page 272 of 414 Staff Report –iStorage Warehouse Addition (CDPA15-001) Memorandum No PZ 15-022 Page 2 %2%0=7-7 In order to place the Community Design Plan Appeals in context, a brief overview of the building and site design is warranted. (IWMKR The proposed metal and block warehousebuildings utilize many similar design features as other existing storage warehouses on site, including textured wall finish andneutral colors. The main body paint color of the buildings and trim would be light tan “Desert Tan”. Panels on Structure “C”would include “Sandstone” as an accent color. Bay doors would be “Patriot Red”,and the standing seam metal roofing would be silver “Galvalume Finish”. As noted on the elevations, the downspouts are attached to thefaçade of the buildings.However, the downspouts are only located on the interior facades of the buildings. This area has limited access, as it is only accessible those leasing storage bays and not the public in general. 7MXI0E]SYX The proposed buildings, labeled as Structures “A”,“B”,and“C”, are designed as one (1)-story structures similar to the existing warehouse buildings on site. The proposed building placement complies with the minimum setbacks of the M-1 zoning district, which are 15 feet for the front and sides and 20 feet for the rear yard setback. The proposed Structure “A”and Structure “B”comply with the front and side setbacks. The proposed Structure “C”would be setback 290 feet from the north property line, with the additional 80 foot wide L.W.D.D. canal right-of-way further separating it from residentially zoned property. There is also aneight (8) foot tall masonry wall and perimeter landscaping providing further buffering. Since the proposed locations of the downspoutsare only on the interior facades, they will not bevisiblefrom any rights-of-ways or neighboring properties. The only boundary of the site which does not contain a building has an approximately 160 foot wide storm water management area; further the property abuts a canal along this property line. The downspouts will be painted to match the building color as to minimize any possible visibility to patrons. 6)'311)2(%8-32 Staff has reviewed this request for Community Design Plan Appeal approval. Based on the analysis contained herein, limited public interaction and the unique layout of the site, staff recommends approval contingent upon approval of concurrent requests for site plan approval, abandonment, and satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit “C” –Conditions of Approval.
