In 2001 American Self Storage received a building permit from Madison County in order to build the FIRST of FIVE self storage buildings on a 2.98 acre parcel located outside of the City of Rexburg, Idaho. In 2002 the FIRST self storage building measuring 30' X 380' was completed. Thereafter, one portion of the second self storage building was completed in 2003. Therefore, as of 2003 the use of the property as a self storage facility was AN APPROVED USE under the "COMMERCIAL" zoning for then, Madison County. On or about June 19`'', 2003 American Self Storage was annexed into the City of Rexburg, Idaho. The new zoning under the city of Rexburg was called "Highway Business District" (HBD). At the time of annexation approximately .22 acres of land measuring approximately 25 feet wide and 386 feet long belonging to American Self Storage was renamed American Street. In 2004 and after annexation was complete, work continued on the second building. The completed SECOND building also measured 30'X 380'. Therefore, as of 2004, after annexation into the City of Rexburg, use of the property as a self storage facility was AN APPROVED USE under the then zoned "HIGHWAY BUSINESS DISTRICT" (HBD). After the completion of the SECOND American Self Storage building the zoning of the area (which includes all five businesses on American Street: Rexburg Plumbing & Heating, Leishman Electric, US Welding, Baked Goods Delivery Service and American Self Storage) was changed from "Highway Business District" to the current zoning of "COMMUNITY BUSINESS CENTER ". The city of Rexburg Development Code creating the Community Business Center zone was adopted February 16, 2005 and amended June 21, 2005. City of Rexburg Development Code Section 3.17 E. identifies "Household Goods Warehousing and Storage" (6379) as a use "permitted in the CBC zone only after a Conditional Use Permit has been issued, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof." FA • Respectfully, American Self Storage requests the City of Rexburg Planning and Zoning Commissioners to issue a Conditional Use Permit so that we may improve the remainder of our property by adding additional storage facilities to the ALREADY EXISTING storage facilities. Thereby, creating a fully improved property with pavement, fencing, etc. for the benefit of all, as opposed to the eyesore of bare land, gravel, dirt and weeds that currently exist. Existing use of property Self Storage Facility Will this have an impact on schools: No Requirements for Granting Conditional Use Permit The following information will assist the Commission and /or City Council to determine if your proposal will meet the requirements under the zoning ordinance. 1. What is the estimated water usage per month? Are the existing mains adequate to provide fire protection Currently NO water is provided to the property. As part of the expansion, Applicant PROPOSES to supply water to the property and estimated water usage to serve one bathroom USED BY EMPLOYEES ONLY is anticipated to be minimal. The estimated water use for any potential landscaping would be seasonal. As a part of the PROPOSED expansion, American Self Storage requests that the Rexburg City Fire Department make recommendations for the number of fire hydrants needed on the property and their placement locations on the property. The site has been engineered to incorporate the maneuvering of large commercial moving vans. Therefore we anticipate the ease of access for a fire truck if the need were ever to arise. American Self Storage is located adjacent to the City of Rexburg water tank. We believe that the mains will provide enough volume and pressure to supply the water to the fire hydrants. NO city water services have been provided to the five businesses along American Street, notwithstanding their annexation for taxation and revenue purposes. 2. What is the estimated sewer usage per month? Will pretreatment be necessary? Currently there is NO sewer line running to the property, nor any septic system. As part of the expansion, Applicant PROPOSES to provide such service to the property. Estimated sewer usage to serve the one toilet would be minimal. Pretreatment would not be necessary. NO city sewer services are provided for the five businesses along American Street, notwithstanding their annexation for revenue and taxation purposes. 3. What is the estimated daily traffic to be generated? Will the traffic be primarily private vehicles or commercial trucks Currently we experience approximately an average of 14 cars each day coming into or out of the storage unit facility. With the planned expansion we expect that number to grow to 36 cars a day on a 24 hour basis. Primarily the vehicles that are utilized at the facility are private vehicles used to transport customer's household possessions. However several times a year large commercial moving vans arrive at the facility to store or pickup house hold goods, necessitated by the relocation of people to our area. The site has been engineered to incorporate the maneuvering of large commercial moving vans, for this purpose. 3 4. If commercial, industrial or a home occupation what will be the hours of operation The use of the property is commercial. The office hours are currently 10:OOam to 6:OOpm Tuesday thru Saturday. However, the facility is accessible 24 hours a day for the use of customers. As part of the PROPOSED expansion, access to the units would be controlled via coded security gate. 5. Will storm water drainage be retained on site? Is an existing storm drain available? Is it at capacity? If so, will new facilities be constructed The site has been engineered to retain and control all rain water and melting snow. All water falling onto the facility is channeled via grade breaks into underground infiltration systems. Currently there exist four such systems. The new expansion would increase the total number to fourteen. Further, there would be two snow storage areas to allow snow to be pushed into a concaved and landscaped area with southern exposure to facilitate the rapid melting of snow and the subsequent retaining of runoff. The total landscaped area for snow storage would be 3,850 sq. ft. 6. If proposed use is residential describe number and type of dwelling units Will this be student housing_ multi - family for young families, singles and couples or elderly Not Applicable 7. What provision has been made for fire protection? Where is the nearest fire hydrant? Is any _point of the building further than 150 feet from access sufficient in width for fire fighting equipment As previously stated, as part of the PROPOSED expansion, American Self Storage requests that the Rexburg City Fire Department make recommendations for the number of fire hydrants needed on the property and their placement locations on the property. Also, the site has been engineered to incorporate the maneuvering of large commercial moving vans. Therefore we anticipate the ease of access for a fire truck if the need were ever to arise. American Self Storage is located adjacent to the City of Rexburg water tank. American Self Storage believes that the new fire hydrants line can be brought from the city water tank facility to supply adequate fire protection to the self storage facility and also benefit the other four businesses (Rexburg Plumbing & Heating, Leishman Electric, US Welding, Baked Goods Delivery Service). 8. How much parking is being provided on -site? Do the aisle widths and access points comply with the ordinance requirements? Has landscaping been provided in accordance with the ordinance? Pursuant to the City of Rexburg Development Code section 5.8 requires 3 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. The PROPOSED office space is 25' X 30' or 750 sq. ft. total space. Therefore the code for Business Services requires 2.25 spaces. We have exceeded this requirement by providing 4 total spaces (3 normal spaces and one handicapped space under the ADA.) Pursuant to section 5.5 (1.) each parking space would be 9 feet in width and 18 feet in length. Furthermore, the site has room for 146 parking spaces for loading and unloading of household goods. Pursuant to the City of Rexburg Development Code section 5.5 (2.) all aisles designed for two -way circulation need to be at least twenty -two (22) feet in width and all aisles designed for one -way circulation shall be at least 18 feet wide. Applicant's PROPOSED aisles would meet or exceed these requirements. Buildings four and five to the North of the facility encompass an area which measures 90' X 440' (apx.) or 39,600 sq. feet. Building three to the West of the facility encompasses an area which measures 98'X 215' (apx.) or 21,070 sq. feet. Together the total area to be expanded is approximately 60,670 sq. feet. The landscaped snow storage area encompasses 3,850 sq. feet. Additionally, the perimeter landscaping encompasses 11,389 sq. feet. Therefore the total landscaped area for the PROPOSED expansion would be 15,239 sq. ft or 25.11 %, far exceeding the 10% landscaping required. E • 0 9. Where will solid waste generated be stored? Is access adequate for the City collection American Self Storage currently contracts with PSI for solid w aste disposal for the office. American Self Storage's solid waste container is also utilized by Rexburg Plumbing and Heating. The City does not provide any solid waste collection services for the five business that have been annexed into the city along American Street. 10. What is the type of noise that will be generated by the use? What are the hours of noise generation Normal traffic noise associated with the current 14 cars a day and, the estimated 36 cars a day, to frequent the expanded facility. 11. What type of equipment will be used in the conduct of the business Normal office equipment (i.e. computer, fax, copy machine, phone), snow removal equipment, Golf Cart. 12. What are the surrounding land uses? H as buffering been provided as required by the ordinance Under the current zoning the land to the West is "Community Business Center". The businesses in this area are Rexburg Plumbing & Heating, Leishman Electric, US Welding, Baked Goods Delivery Service. The adjacent land to the South is also "Community Business Center" and the lessee of the land owned by Rexburg Plumbing and Heating is Last Roundup Antiques and the City of Rexburg Water Tank Facility. Approximately 340 ft. of the land on applicant's Northern border is zoned "Community Business Center" and approximately 100 ft of the land on Applicant's Northern border is zoned "Medium Density Residential ". Applicant requests that the Conditional Use Permit allow an exception to the 10 foot buffer requirement along this small portion so as not to require the uneven staggering of PROPOSED Building Five and resulting one way aisle created by the additional 5 foot inset on that approximate 100 feet. Alternatively, Building Five would be staggered to have the required portion of it located 10 ft. from the property line. The land to the East is also zoned "Medium Density Residential' and the current Buildings One and Two have a 30ft. buffer zone. PLEASE NOTE that all of the land adjacent to American Self Storage in all directions under the City's Comprehensive Plan is identified as "Community Business Center". 13. Are any air quality permits required? Is dirt or other dust creating materials moved by open trucks or box cars Not Applicable 14. Will the parking lots or other outdoor areas have lighting Currently the North side of the first building and the second building has four (4) outdoor lights. The lights are illuminated at dusk and goes off at sunrise. Building four will not have any exterior lights as it will be illuminated by lights on the second and fifth building. Building five will have exterior lights on the South side, interior to the project. Building three will have exterior lights on the North side which will illuminate the parking area. 15. Are passenger loading zones for such uses as daycare centers and schools provided? How is busing routed? For commercial uses, where are the loading docks? Is there sufficient space for truck parking As noted above, we have parking for 146 cars for the loading and unloading of household goods. The site has been engineered to incorporate the maneuvering of large commercial moving vans. 5 16. If a commercial, multi - family, or public assembly use where is the nearest collector street? Arterial street State Road 33 (Hwy 33) 33 lies 167 ft to the west of proposed building three, at the beginning of American Street.. 17. What, if any signage is anticipated in connection with the proposed usage Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 908, Section III (2.) states that the maximum height of any free standing sign shall be twenty -four (24) feet from ground level to the top of the sign. Currently, Applicant's neighbor is allowing Applicant to have a small sign on State Road 33. However, this may change at any time. Applicant's property is NOT visible from Sate Road 33. Applicant's PROPOSED Building Three will be 8'6" and will sit over 200 ft from State Road 33 (Hwy 33). The building will be eclipsed by the Rexburg Plumbing and Heating building which is 24 ft high. Therefore, Applicant requests a conditional use permit be granted to Applicant to erect a free standing sign 40 ft high and 200 sq. ft. in size. The Commission or Council may address other points than those discussed above, but a narrative addressing at least those applicable points will assist in processing your application. A PLOT PLAN MUST BE ATTACHED IN ORDER TO PROCESS THIS APPLICATION. Included on the plot plan setbacks, parking, etc. Formal notice will be sent to applicant after approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Notice will state the conditions of the permit. If conditions are violated or not met there will be 90 day period to cure the problem. Failure to comply with the terms may result in revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. � Z C ZIA_� 7/1; 6 d� Danny f�.

PROPERTY LOCATION: 270 American Street Rexburg, Idaho 83440 *OPERTYID: RPRXBCA0176322 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial ZONING DISTRICT: Community Business Center (CBC) APPLICABLE CRITERIA: City of Rexburg Development Code (Ordinance Code 926) § 6.13 Conditional Use Permits AUTHORITY § 6.13 (F) (7) "All other conditional use permits may only be granted after review and recommendation by the Commission and approval by the City Council... " I. BACKGROUND The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for the expansion of an existing storage unit facility. The requested use is listed as a conditional use within the CBC zone. Land uses that require conditional use permits are allowed within a zone if, through reasonable conditions of approval, the use and /or facility will not adversely impact the neighborhood and community of which it belongs. Therefore, the City, upon receipt of a CUP request, should review the proposal and either approve, deny, or approve with conditions. As the applicant has pointed out in the application material, the subject property, when it began to be constructed and operated as storage units, was located outside of the Rexburg city limits. The Case No. 07 00194 Page 1 applicant is now requesting an expansion of the existing use which now requires the project to be subject to all applicable rules and regulations of the City of Rexburg, i.e. development code, design • standards, etc. II. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject property is a 120,085 square foot (2.8 -acre) lot located (and accessed) from North Yellowstone Highway, a 40 -foot paved local street (65 -foot right -of -way). The surrounding neighborhood includes commercial to the west, public facility and large lot single family homes to the south and east, and farm land to the north. The property is located in an area of the city that the development community is gaining more interest in as is it located in an area near City services but has a lot of vacant land, mainly farm land. III. ANALYSIS The following are the criteria for granting a conditional use permit. Some of the criteria is followed by staff's analysis. A conditional use will: a. Constitute a conditional use as established in Table], Zoning Districts, and Table 2, Land Use Schedule. The proposed use is listed as a conditionally permitted use under Section 3.17.020(E) of the Development Code; therefore, this criterion is met. b. Be in accordance with a specific or general objective of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the regulations of this Ordinance. The City's comprehensive plan has designated the subject property as Commercial. The zoning • district of CBC is an allowed zoning designation within the comprehensive plan designation of Commercial, therefore the proposal is in compliance with the City Comprehensive Plan. Regarding regulations of the City development code, the following are applicable substantive criteria and how they relate to the proposal; L Yard requirements a. Front Yard- front yards are required to be a minimum of 20 feet. The proposal exceeds this requirement. b. Side Yards- There are no requirements where the subject property abuts another commercial zone. Where the subject property is adjacent to a residential zone the required side yard setback is ten (10) feet. The applicant is proposing a setback less than the requirement. In the application material, the applicant states that through the conditional use permit request, they are requesting a deviation from this standard. Variations from City development standards are handled through the variance application procedure, which the application has not applied for, therefore, this request cannot be considered at this time. A variance request has specific criteria that must be met in order to be issued. In addition, the proposal was advertised to the public as a conditional use permit, not a variance application. A revision to the proposal should be submitted to either the planning commission or be conditioned that the final setbacks be approved by the planning department during the review of the building • permit application process and that all setback requirements be adhered to (see proposed conditions of approval). c. Rear Yard- no requirement Case No. 07 00194 Page 2 • 0 ii. Building Height- Building heights for buildings cannot exceed 45 -feet. The applicant is proposing a building that adheres to this standard. iii. Permissible Lot Coverage- As the majority of the subject property's perimeter is . bordered by a commercial zone, no lot coverage standard applies other than the area for landscaping and snow coverage requirement which is ten (10) percent. The applicant has not shown area calculations for these required areas. As a condition of approval, the applicant needs to show this information on the site plan/landscape plan to be submitted with the building permit application (see proposed conditions of approval). iv. Project Plan Approval- This section of the development code requires that project plans must be prepared by A/E professionals and be submitted for review and approval by the Architectural and Design Review Board and all City departments and permitting authorities. The applicant will need to submit a site plan/landscape plan, and building elevations that complies with all City codes. The Architectural and Design Review Board shall review and approve these plans as they apply to the Architectural and Design Review criteria. The above are included as proposed conditions of approval. v. Signs- If location of signage is a concern at the conditional use permit stage, the Commission should explore this, otherwise staff has proposed a conditional of approval requiring general compliance with the City's sign ordinance. Sign permits are not covered by this application and require a separate submittal for review and approval. The applicant has requested a sign height variation for the site to allow for a taller sign on -site. As mentioned earlier in this report, the application is for a conditional use permit, not a variance. In addition, the public notice for this hearing did not include language required for a variance public hearing. A variance requires a different set of criteria to be addressed (see proposed conditions of approval). vi. Landscaping- As mentioned earlier, the applicant must provide a minimum of ten (10) • percent of the total parking area towards landscaping and snow removal. The applicant will need to landscape all other areas not included as parking or maneuvering area. A landscape plan should be submitted with the building permit for review and approval by the planning department. Staff has provided the above recommendations as proposed conditions of approval. vii. Trash Storage- Trash receptacles need to be screened from adjacent property. This material used for screening shall be described in the site plan to be submitted with the building permit application. The receptacles cannot be located within twenty (20) feet of the public right -of -way. viii. Walls and Fences- The development code requires that where the commercial property abuts a residential zone, "a decorative masonry wall, at least six (6) feet in height shall be erected along all property lines which lie adjacent to a residential zone." This can be modified if the adjacent property owners agree on an alternative material and then this mutually agreed upon fencing material is proposed and approved by the Planning Commission. This is a proposed condition of approval. ix. Lighting Standards- The proposal will need to submit a lighting plan with the building permit application that adheres to the City's lighting standards for submitted plans and for lighting standards (see proposed conditions of approval). In addition, from the application material submitted, it appears that the applicant is proposing lighting that is to be mounted to the buildings. The ordinance prohibits wall mounted lighting that is intended to light parking and maneuvering areas (see proposed conditions of approval). x. Parking- The City's Development Code does not have a specific parking requirement for storage units. The Code does provide that when specific land uses are not included in the 0 table for parking requirements, "other uses not included above are to be determined by the Planning Commission." The applicant has proposed 4 parking spaces and does point out Case No. 07 00194 Page 3 • 0 that the throughout the proposal, loading areas are provided and intended to function as those areas needed for the temporary parking nature of a storage unit facility. Based on the applicant's submitted information addressing parking and based on a cursory review • of other municipalities parking requirement for storage areas, staff recommends a standard of One parking space for every 200 units and one space per employee. Required parking shall be provided adjacent to main office. No required space shall be rented for the use for vehicular or similar storage. The site plan to be submitted with the building permit application shall be reviewed and approved by Madison Fire and Rescue as well as any other applicable agency /municipality. This parking requirement is a proposed condition of approval. Based on the above analysis of relevant substantive criteria and as conditioned, this criterion is met. c. Be designed and constructed in a manner to be harmonious with the existing character of the neighborhood and the zone in which the property is located. The surrounding land uses include commercial, farm land, public facilities, and single - family homes. These surrounding land uses create a diverse land use and building style for the area. The proposed structures, as conditioned and adhering to all standards set forth in the City's development code, will therefore fit in with the area. Based on the above information, this criterion is met d. Not create a nuisance or safety hazard for neighboring properties in terms of excessive noise or vibration, improperly directed glare or heat, electrical interference, odors, dust or air pollutants, solid waste generation and storage, hazardous materials or waste, excessive traffic generation, or interference with pedestrian traffic. Regarding glare, heat, electrical interference, dust, air pollutants, there are no foreseeable impacts to the neighborhood but they may need to be explored by the Planning Commission. Regarding the potential impacts of noise, vibration, and odors, the commission should explore these standards and determine if reasonable conditions of approval might address them. Hours of operation will be 24 hours per day, but due to the residential nature of this proposal any noise impact will likely be eliminate in the evening hours. Regarding solid waste generation and storage, excessive traffic generation, or interference with pedestrian traffic, the Commission should determine if these standards can be addressed through reasonable conditions of approval. Trash receptacles should be fully screened from the public right -of -way and should not be visible from adjacent residential property. There should be no outside storage of material or equipment unless fully screened form public right -of -way. This screening, if in itself is deemed objectionable by affected property owners, should be approved by the Planning Commission or designee. Staff has included proposed conditions of approval that address trash storage and general storage occurring on the outside of the building. In order to ensure adequate maneuvering area for large vehicles including moving vans, RVs, and fire trucks, the site plan should include a diagram depicting vehicle maneuvering for vehicles the size of the City's large emergency vehicles. These vehicles should be depicted at corners of proposed buildings (see proposed conditions of approval). The Commission should determine if through reasonable conditions of approval this criterion can be met. Case No. 07 00194 Page 4 0 0 e. Be adequately served by essential public facilities and services such as access streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer service, and schools. If existing facilities are not adequate, the developer shall show that such facilities shall be upgraded sufficiently to serve the proposed use. The site is served by all essential public facilities and services; therefore, this criterion is met. In addition, site development will undergo review by the public works department to ensure all required city services and utilities are supplied. f. Not generate traffic in excess of the capacity of public streets or access points serving the proposed use and will assure adequate visibility at traffic access points. The roads in the vicinity appear to be functioning within acceptable levels of service. The proposed use should have minimal impacts on the road network in the area. The Commission should determine if this criterion is met. g. Be effectively buffered to screen adjoining properties from adverse impacts of noise, building size and resulting shadow, traffic, and parking. Regarding noise, the hours of operation are not described. As there are adjacent residential zones which may be impacted now or in the future, the Commission may want to condition the use on hours of operation. Staff recommends the maximum hours of operation, excluding office hours, is from Sam to 10 pm seven days per week. No use of the storage units shall occur during the hours of l Opm to Sam, including but not limited to loading and unloading of vehicles, arrangement of materials inside or outside of storage units, and any other noise generating activities (see proposed conditions of approval). The Commission may want to condition the use such that equipment that will generate noise be located a maximum feasible distance from existing residential uses surrounding the property. The applicant should be encouraged to incorporate large heating /cooling/ventilation equipment that uses technology that reduces noise impacts. The proposed buildings should be compatible with existing building in the area based on scale and appearance. In addition, the City's architectural design standards will apply to the proposed structure and site; therefore, there are no foreseeable building size impacts. The City requires minimum setbacks and screening for parking areas. This requirements will be reviewed during the site plan review phase when the applicant submits a building permit application. The Commission should determine if the proposal as proposed, or with conditions satisfies this criterion. h.
