Description/Background:
The applicant, Mr. Dave Richards, is proposing a second building to the Sandy City Storage project located on the southwest corner of 8800 South and 700 East in Historic Sandy. Since the approval of the first building, the applicant has acquired additional property and is now proposing to modify the original site plan to include a second building and a large detention pond to treat storm water on site. The proposed new building would be two stories in height and would provide a total of 20,144 additional square feet of personal property storage rental space. Access to the storage building will be controlled electronically and the hours for customer access will be limited to 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., seven days a week.
A self-storage rental use and extended business hours to include Sundays are Conditional Uses. The zoning of Boulevard Commercial (BC) requires that the Planning Commission review all site and building architecture plan to determine compatibility with the Sandy City Architectural Design Standards and the BC zone requirements. The Planning Commission is the land use authority for conditional use considerations.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the conditional use request: to allow extended business hours to 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., seven days a week; to allow the proposed storage building use in the BC zone; and approve the site plan, including the proposed building design, mass, scale, architectural design and building materials for the Sandy City Storage Phase 2 project located at approximately 676 East 8800 South based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings
1. That extended business hours to include Sundays from 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. are reasonable due to the expected low volume of customer visits to the site.
2. That restricting customer access to the facility to the extended business hours will minimize disruption or traffic impacts to the residential neighborhood.
3. That granting this conditional use for customer storage in an enclosed building will minimize potential detrimental impacts to the neighborhood, but will provide a service to the community, for which there is an increasing demand, particularly with more multiple family residential projects being built in Sandy.
4. That the proposed building design, mass, scale, and architectural elements meet the requirements of the BC Zoning District, the Historic Sandy Neighborhood Plan, and the Sandy City Architectural Design Requirements as designed and as conditioned in the staff recommendation section of this report.
Conditions
1. That the applicant complies with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the final review process and that all issues be resolved before the subdivision can be recorded.
2. That the applicant complies with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the final review process and that all issues be resolved.
3. That the Conditional Use Permit for extended business hours be reviewed upon future legitimate citizen complaint or staff observation of non-compliance with conditions or limitations.
4. That the applicant be responsible to meet all provisions of the Sandy City Development Code and all conditions of approval that are included in this report and as may be imposed by the Planning Commission to mitigate the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects of the proposed use.
5. That the applicant revise the building elevations to wrap the northeast and southeast corners of the proposed new building with the same materiality as the front façade in order to enhance the architectural quality of the building.
