Body
Description/Background:
The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission review and approve a site plan for the addition of a two-story, climate controlled, commercial storage building to the existing mini-storage building complex. The Planning Commission is the land use approval body for this action, as designated in the Sandy City Development Code, and must also determine the amount of required customer parking for the storage building addition.
BACKGROUND
This site is vacant, but once had a house on it. It is surrounded on three sides by the existing mini-storage complex, which occupies approximately 4 acres. The subject property is located at 8594 S. Harrison Street, and is zoned Regional Commercial, (RC). Midvale City jurisdiction property is located to the east of Harrison Street and northward. All of the Sandy City jurisdiction property is zoned RC and is developed with non-residential land uses. The proposal is to build a two-story, climate controlled storage building and integrate this storage use with the existing mini-storage business. Each level of the new building will contain 21,000 square feet of storage space, consisting of both overhead door access units around the perimeter of the building and internal storage closets, accessible from inside the building.
Further action to be taken:
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary site plan review is complete, and that no new customer parking is necessary in this application, based on this staff report, and the two findings listed below and subject to the following nine conditions:
FINDINGS:
A. That the various City Departments and Divisions, including the City Engineer and the Transportation Engineer, have preliminarily approved the proposed site plan.
B. That in this case, no additional customer parking is necessary for the new building, due to the integration of the new building into the existing mini-storage complex, which currently has the necessary customer support facilities on the larger site.
CONDITIONS:
1. That the developer proceed through the final site plan review process with staff prior to the start of any construction (including payment of development fees and posting of an appropriate bond to guarantee completion of all required improvements on and off the site), according to the Site Plan Review Procedures Handout. The final site plan shall be in compliance with all Development Code requirements and those modifications required by the Planning Commission.

Each box shall be shown in its exact location and shall be noted with its exact height, width and length and approved by staff.
