MOTION CARRIED
(BILL NO. 5 - REZONE FOR PUBLIC STORAGE OF CALDWELL - DICK
PHILIPS)
The Planning and Zoning Director, Jim Blizzard, reviewed the
memo that was distributed to the City Council Members with
regard to the rezone for Public Storage of Caldwell.
Mr. Blizzard's information was as follows: The request was
to rezone a portion of Tract U, Mountain View Subdivision,
from R -3 (High Density Residential) to C -3 (Service
Commercial) as requested by Public Storage of Caldwell,
Richard M. Phillips, Agent. The location was a parcel
located adjacent to 3202 Cleveland Blvd. legally described as
a portion of the south 1/2 of Tract U, Mountain View
Subdivision. The applicant is requesting rezoning of the
subject property from R -3 to C -3 to allow for the expansion
of the existing mina. - warehouse /storage business located
immediately north of the site. The applicant has also
submitted an application to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for a special use permit. This application was
tabled by the Commission until the rezoning application is
approved.
The subject property is undeveloped and approximately 5.0
acres in area and is in the R -3 zoning district. Adjacent
uses include a storage /warehousing business immediately
north, a mobile home park on the west, a single family
residence near the southwest corner of the parcel and vacant
R -2 (Medium Density Residential) or C -3 property on the south
and east side.
A portion of Tract U was rezoned from R -2 to R -3 in 1980. In
1989, the City approved another rezoning request to allow C -3
uses in the northern half of the property as well as a
special use permit for the warehouse use. In October, 1990,
a Special Use Permit allowing for the expansion of an
existing storage business was conditionally approved.
Conditions of approval for this permit included installing a
sight obscuring fence along the east and south property lines
where adjacent to residential zoned land and installation of
trees and shrubs along the Cherry and Locust Street frontages
and restrictions on the number of vehicles which can be sold
on the property.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing
for this application on January 30, 1992. Staff's
recommendation to the Commission was to table this
application until such time as the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan had been revised and adopted. Public
testimony at the hearing was made by one person owning
property within the 300 foot public notice mailing radius as
well as by a number of persons resident in areas beyond that
area. The Commission voted 4 -3 to recommend to the Council
denial of the rezoning based upon finding that the request is
not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and it may be
detrimental to the surrounding neighborhoods.
This application was considered by the City Council at a
public hearing on March 2, 1992. The four Councilors in
attendance voted unanimously to delay action until such time
as the entire Council has the opportunity to review the case
and consider testimony made at the hearing.
Book 33 Page 67
Mr. Blizzard further stated that Staff offers the following
analysis nf the raques0:
1. The City Comprehensive Plan indicates that the
subject property is within an area designated for medium
densi7y residential development. This designation does not
provids for the proposed commercial use of the property.
Furthermo._ the Plan states thy. "commercial areas allocated
in the Plan should be adequate for growth in business which
is eynected to occur". Staff does not find that the request
is in conformance with, the Plan.
2. The applicant claims that this application is a
response to a growing damand for additional storage in the
community. There are no apparent opportunities for the
applicant to provide for additional storage on the existing
C-3 zoned portion of his property nor is it a practical
solution for him to acquire and expand onto the vacant
commercial land across Locust Street. Staff finds that the
applicant has applied for the rezoning as his most prac
alternative to expand his business.
3. Considerable testimony has been made to the effec
that the proposed zoning and use will have adverse impacts to
adjacent ond surrounding property including the loss of the
R-3 zoning and result in inappropriate transition between
lanb uses of higher and lower intensity. Staff finds that
problems of this nature might be mitigated by requiring
landscaping, sight obscuring fence, restrictions an lighting
ar! signs, as well as deep se.tbacks from streets, and
restricting access to Via storage use. Staff does not find
that the proposed use will resul in excessive noise or
traffic. Future residential development to the south might
be designed so that WOR do not front on Cherry Street.
4. Existing public facilities and services, including
streets, utilities, fire and police protection can serve the
proposed use. If the special use permit is approved, the
City Fiia Mars nal has identified a need to provide restricted
access gates off of Cherry Street for emergency vehicles and
installation of fire hydrants. The City Engineering
Department recommends conditions of approval include the
installation of curb and gutter and paving of half of the
driving lane. Other existing public services and facilities
are adeq . for the pro,, use ,
5. tether uses permitted in. the C-3 district, without
the hanefit of a public hearing mi. ght occur once the rezon�
is approved. Some of these uses might present development,
problems other than those asscc- - ,iith the storage use.
Mr. Blizzard further .__:formes. Council that the Staff
recommends that the City Council uphold the Planning and
Zoning Commission's decision and deny this application to
rezone a portion of Trant U, Mountain View Subdivision from
R-3 to C-3, base6 upon finding to proposed zoning would not
be in conformance - , , ,ith t1ae Compre. �Ian.
City Wuncil Members discussed this request at some length
including the possible change of use in the future and the
use of a buffer area to benefit other property owners. The
Council also asked Mr. Philips to clarify several of their
concurns ragording the request. Councilman Raymond suggested
that a decision be delayed to see if some plan could be
devised to provide a b 'fifer on their property. This would
allow Vz. Philips ao opportunity to consider other
possibilities. Councilman Ozuna further suggested some
lands<::aping along the back :ide of the property.
Council;an Raymond then. MOVED delay first -reading of Bill
No, 5.
Mr. was recognized and stated that the Council
shouln open th, meeting for discussion in opposition to Mr,
Philips- The City Attorney assured Council that the City
Ccvncil cnly asked for clarification from Mr. Philips; not
testimony. Therefore, the hearing portion of this issue was
glee at thc last meeting.
Book 33
Page 68
Councilman Houchins indicated that he did not believe the
first reading of the Bill was the issue at this time. The
decision was whether this should be considered for a
Comprehensive Plan change.
Councilman Raymond then MOVED to continue the discussion on
the rezone under Bill No. 5 to the next meeting.
The motion died due to a lack of a second.
The Planning and Zoning Director pointed out that if the
application from Mr. Philips was substantially changed from
what was presented at the Planning and Zoning hearing, part
of the process would be lost as far as public participation.
The Council would be acting on a different package than what
was presented to the Commission.
Councilman Nancolas stated that he thought the subject
tonight was not whether Caldwell needed more storage, but
rather where does this plan fit into existing Comprehensive
Plan and land use. If this was changed to C -3, it would
immediately jeopardize the buffer zone on the property just
south. The obvious change would be to an R -3 which would
further jeopardize those residentials around the area. The
issue was whether there was conformity and an orderly pattern
in that particular area and does it fit in with the
Comprehensive Plan. Councilman Nancolas further said that he
would also like to have some medium ground here, but he did
not feel that this was the subject at this time. The issue
was whether to uphold or over turn the Planning and Zoning's
decision to deny. Based on the information received through
the hearing process, he did not 'believe changing it to C -3
did the area justice. Perhaps, Mr. Philips needed to reapply
with a revised request. At this time, Mr. Nancolas stated
that he could not support the request for a zone change at
this time.
MOVED by Nancolas, SECONDED by Ozuna that the City Council
uphold the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to
deny the zone change.
Councilman Raymond asked the City Attorney if it would be
necessary to start the procedure over again. Mr. Morrow, the
City Attorney, stated that if there was a substantial change,
they would have to start over.
The Mayor then requested a roll call vote. Those voting yes:
Nancolas, Murdoch, Carpenter, Houchins, Raymond, and Ozuna.
Those voting no: none. Absent and not voting: none.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Raymond commented that he would hope that a
different request would come back to the City Council as he
would like to see Cleveland Boulevard developed with going
businesses succeeding and expanding. However, he also wanted
to protect neighborhoods.
