Staff will provide an update and seek feedback on an upcoming proposed Zoning Ordinance Text amendment related to certain uses within the Use Permit process, Special Use Permit process and other principally permitted uses.
Planning Manager Christian Williams presented on the possible future zoning ordinance text amendments regarding use permits and special use permits. These subjects included mini storage, drive-through restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores, car washes, and automotive repair facilities. Mr. Williams explained the following staff recommendations for each use.
Mini-storage:
No action was taken on this item.
Mini-storage:
- Special use permit process removed
- Would be permitted within C-1 and C-2 on a maximum of 7.5-acres
- Not to exceed a maximum of 50% of a contiguous commercial site
- Not to be located within 300 feet of the arterial-to-arterial intersection without a use permit or exceed 500 feet of arterial frontage
- No outdoor RV storage is permitted within commercial centers
- Storage would also not be able to locate within 1,500 feet of another storage unit
- In Industrial zones, outdoor RV storage would be permitted if screened from off-site view
- Additionally, storage would need to adhere to design enhancements and landscape setbacks from residentially zoned districts or lots when the areas are platted
- Use permit process removed
- Permitted in C-1 and C-2 districts
- Convenience stores would be allowed if they do not contain gas component
- If they are not reverse oriented and within 300 feet of a planned intersection, they would require a plaza
- Must be located 250 feet from residential or separated by a public roadway, canal or railroad from residential
- The use would be allowed with a 50,000 square foot retailer by right (such as a Safeway or fancy Fry’s gas station)
- No more than one gas station would be permitted within a quarter mile of an arterial-to-arterial intersection
- Electric Vehicle Charging is permitted
- Stand-alone diesel pumps are not permitted
- No separate diesel pumping in Commercial districts
- Gas stations would be permitted within I-1 and I-2 districts with the design enhancements and clustering requirements from C-1 and C-2 on corners
- Separate diesel pumping would by Use Permit in I-1 and permitted by right in I-2
- Use permit process removed
- Be allowed in C-2
- Not located within 300 feet of an arterial-to-arterial intersection or within 300 feet of a hotel, motel or restaurant patio
- Needs to be 300 feet from residential uses or separated by a public roadway, canal or railroad from residential

- Use permit process removed
- Allow this use within C-1 and C-2
- Standalone drive-throughs would be limited to one standalone drive-through for each 5-acre commercial center
- Create a new category of drive-through for end caps on retail buildings which have 3 or more spaces for tenants
- End-cap drive-throughs would not have a density cap as these incentivize additional retail spaces being created within centers to create non-strip drive-through opportunities
- If a drive-through is located on the corner of an intersection it would be required to provide a corner enhancement, patio or plazas
- Keep existing industrial standards and would allow these uses to be permitted within C-2 so long as they are located 250 feet from residential or separated by a public roadway, canal or railroad from residential
- Proposal adds screening requirements and garage facing requirements
- If there is an outdoor queuing component, queuing would need to be provided; drive-through component would need to be located at least 250 feet from residential
