§ 17.16.026 Special industrial zone development standards.

In addition to the development standards for industrial zone property of this code, the following uses shall be subject to the additional development standards listed in this section. In the event of a conflict in the development standards of this code and this section, the terms and provisions of this section shall prevail.

Mini-Storage/Self-Storage Facilities.

Location Standards. Mini-storage/self-storage facilities are unique, low impact uses which, due to the small area requirements of individual rental/storage areas, provides great flexibility in architectural design. Such uses are conducive for development on unique and odd-shaped, remnant parcels of industrial zone property where large scale industrial structures are physically constrained from development. Accordingly, to preserve larger, traditionally shaped, property for more intensive industrial development, mini-storage/self-storage facilities shall only be located on unique, odd-shaped and/or physically constrained parcels. If, in the opinion of the planning director, an application for a mini-storage/self-storage facility is on property deemed suitable for other industrial development, the ministorage/self-storage facility shall only be approved with the approval of a zone exception pursuant to Chapter 17.48 of this code.

Principal Use. All mini-storage/self-storage facilities shall be the principal use on the property and not associated with any other industrial use. Mini-storage/self-storage facilities shall not be permitted to develop within all, or any part, of any existing industrial warehouse or structure.

Access and Circulation.

Vehicular ingress and egress shall be limited to one point for each side of the subject property adjoining any street or highway, and shall conform to the fire department standards;

At least forty feet of clear, unobstructed driveway depth be provided from the road, to the primary access gate or principal entry point of the facility;

Interior driveway widths shall be not less than thirty-six feet unless, due to the irregular shape or configuration of the lot or parcel of land under consideration, the planning commission specifically authorizes a width less than thirty-six feet, but in no event less than twenty-six feet in width. A driveway providing access to storage units on one side only of the facility shall be not less than twenty-six feet in width.

Parking and Loading Areas.

One standard parking space for each two thousand square feet of gross floor area. Said parking spaces shall also be arranged on the subject property so as not to obstruct any driveways nor adversely affect vehicular ingress and egress to the facility;

Spaces in any approved outdoor storage area shall not be included as required parking;

Ground level, roll-up door storage areas shall have an exclusive use loading area in front of the unit. Such exclusive use loading areas shall not be counted as required parking;

In addition to the exclusive use loading areas, common loading areas shall be provided in an amount sufficient to serve the users of the interior storage units and shall be designed to ensure that driveways will not be obstructed.

Site Design.

The architecture of the ministorage/self-storage facility, including, but not limited to, fences, walls, gates, buildings and landscaping, shall, to the maximum extent possible, be compatible with the community;

Buildings shall be designed, located and screened, incorporating eight-foot high screen walls, so that the views of overhead doors and the interior driveways within such facilities are not readily visible from adjacent public view.

Landscaping and Screening.

All areas between required fences and the lot lines shall be fully landscaped with lawn, shrubbery, trees and/or flowers;

In addition to subsection (A)(6)(a), for every thirty feet of street frontage of the subject property, not less than one twenty-four-inch boxed tree shall be planted and continuously maintained.

Fences and Walls.

All screen walls shall be constructed of masonry, concrete or other similar materials. No chain link fencing shall be permitted;

The design and materials used in the construction of fences and walls shall be compatible with the architecture of the buildings of the self-service storage facility and with buildings in the area surrounding the facility;

Exterior wall surfaces shall at all times be kept free from graffiti or any other marks of vandalism.

Outdoor Storage.

Boats, campers, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, etc. may be stored outside of an enclosed building, but only in an area designated for such outside storage on an approved plot plan;

Outdoor storage shall not be visible from any adjoining or adjacent property when viewed at ground level;

Outdoor storage is prohibited within setback areas;

Areas proposed for outdoor storage within the facility shall be clearly indicated on the site plan and approved prior to the use of any such area for outdoor storage. In no event shall such approved area be counted as required parking.

Outdoor Lighting.

Outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare only onto the self-service storage facility premises. Said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded and focused away from all adjoining property;

Outdoor lighting shall not exceed an intensity of one foot-candle of light throughout the facility.

10.

Trash Enclosures.

All such receptacles shall be placed within a masonry or concrete block enclosure of adequate height to preclude view of the receptacle. Said enclosure shall have a wooden, metal or other type of opaque, self-latching gate;

Two receptacles and surrounding enclosures shall be provided for each facility. An extra such trash receptacle as follows:

Over fifty thousand gross square feet (one receptacle),

ii.

Each additional fifty thousand gross square feet (one receptacle).

11.

Use Restrictions.

Except to comply with minimum state building code requirements, no public restrooms shall be provided;

No public sale of any item from a rental space or within a self-service storage facility;

No residential use by any manager or employee shall be permitted at the facility;

No construction, repair, servicing, renovating, painting or resurfacing of any motor vehicle, boat, trailer or other machine or implement including, but not limited to, furniture, toys, carpets or similar equipment, objects or materials;

No on-site commercial, business, professional, industrial or recreational use or activity;

No use of rental units for human habitation.
