Project Description:

The property currently contains a 4,400-square foot, two-story warehouse/office, an 875-square foot garage, and a 1,750-square foot carport. Since the approval of the original project in 2011 the project has gone through a series of changes as outlined in the table below.

The new Property Owner/Applicant is now requesting a Development Plan Amendment (DPAM) to allow for an additional 326 gross square feet of building area and 2,738 net square feet of floor area, an additional 180 units, and other associated site changes. With the additional proposed square footage and changes to the interior layout, the number of units would increase to 1,043 storage units. The proposed project (“Amended Project”) includes the following elements:

• Increase the building coverage from 33,094 sq. ft.to 33,574, a 480 SF increase including providing covered parking for three (3) of the parking spaces.
• Gross square footage would increase from 135,741 SF to 136,067 SF.
• Net square footage would increase from 126,669 SF to 129,407 SF, a 2,738 SF increase reflecting an increase in usable area.
• Revise entry gate from a slide gate to a swing gate.
• Increase landscaping from 21,259 SF to 21,563 SF, a 304 SF increase.
• Reduce hardscape from 35,381 SF to 34,597 SF, a 784 SF decrease.
• Grading onsite would increase from approximately 13,365 Cubic Yards (CY) of cut and 1,950 CY of fill to 13,970 CY of cut and 700 CY of fill.
• Increase the Environmentally Sensitive Habitat buffer from 50' to 75' by modifying the east end of the site design.
• Change to building design.
