CITY OF City of Riverside
RIVER Staff Analysis Report
rlls souR� PC13 -23: Horizons East PD
Upstream from ordinary. Regulations Amendment (outdoor storage)
General Information
Applicant: City of Riverside
Location: Horizons East - industrial and office park bounded by Horizons Parkway on the west, BNSF railroad
on the north and 1 -635 on the east and south.
Application: Rezoning - Amendment to the regulations associated with the Planned Development
Zoning: PD- Planned Development
Existing Land Use: Light Industrial and Undeveloped
Proposed Land Use: Light Industrial and Office Park
Requested Action: To consider a request to amend the approved PD regulations for Horizons East.
Procedure: The procedure for rezoning is governed by Section 400.220 of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO). A rezoning of property requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission
and the Board of Aldermen after notice has been given at least fifteen days in advance in a local paper
and all property owners being rezoned and properties owners within 185 feet have been notified; these
requirements have been satisfied for this request.
Requested Amendment: Recently, two requests to allow outdoor storage in the industrial park have
been submitted to the City. As the park continues to develop, staff anticipates additional requests will
arise. The current PD regulations simply state that "Outside storage areas are not permitted within the
Planned Development unless approved via a Special Use Permit." The regulations do not provide any
guidance on specific locations, size, height, etc. The proposed amendment aims to establish guidelines
on outdoor storage, which will help ensure all parties involved have a clear understanding of outdoor
storage expectations.
Two important items to note are that each business must still obtain a special use permit to allow
outdoor storage and storage areas are limited to specific locations — Potential Outdoor Storage Areas as
shown in Exhibit A. These areas were determined based on their visibility from major thoroughfares
like Horizons Parkway, I -635 and 9 Highway. The proposed areas have very limited or no visibility
from major roadways. Spec III, two future buildings and landscaping provide a buffer between potential
storage areas and the office park. Additionally, as the storage areas are abutting the buildings next to the
truck courts, they do not directly face any street or building front, but rather other utilitarian areas.
Proposed PD Regulations, Section F (removed language has a ugh, new language is in
red italics)
F. Outside Storage and Equipment. O u t side storage areas are not permivad within the
Planned Develepme t • mess app roved via ° c..,. ial Use P ermit. Although the outdoor storage of
materials and equipment in Horizons East is not preferred, the City recognizes it may be necessary to
1 oft
accommodate businesses that are experiencing growth and/or change, but are not yet ready to
commitment to additional facility space. Considering this, the outdoor storage of materials and
equipment may be permitted in accordance with the following regulations. These regulations do not
apply to the customary trailer parking activities associated with tenants inside the Planned Development.
1. A special use permit must be granted to allow outside storage.
2. Included with the SUP application must be a written explanation as to why the business
needs the outdoor storage, how long they intend to have the outdoor storage and what their
long term plan is to accommodate the storage.
3. Outside storage areas may only be permitted within the designated areas as shown in
Exhibit A, provided there is a screening mechanism (wing wall, building bump out, etc.)
along 41" Street.
4. The maximum outside storage area shall be based on the business's inside space. 10,000
square feet of first floor indoor space — 1, 000 square feet of outside storage area.
5. Storage areas shall be located adjacent to the building and shall not extend more than 5 feet
less than the length of the screening mechanism (i.e. — if the wing wall extends 80 feet from
the building, the storage area shall not extend beyond 75 feet).
6 Storage areas shall be designated by yellow pavement markings.
7. The maximum height of stored items shall not exceed 6 feet.
8. Storage areas shall not impede vehicular traffic and emergency access points.
9. All materials being stored must be associated with the business that is located in the
building adjacent to the storage area A detailed list and photos of materials to be stored
must be submitted with the SUP application.
10. Storage areas shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
11. If a business receives more than 2 written code violation notices associated with the outdoor
storage in a calendar year the SUP will be revoked. The business must wait I year from the
date of revocation before applying for another SUP for outdoor storage.
For the office portion of the Planned Development, facilities for storage of waste and
rubbish shall be maintained within a screened area in closed metal containers of type approved.
Each Owner and tenant shall keep its premises, buildings and improvements and
appurtenances in a safe, sightly, clean, neat and wholesome condition, and shall comply in all respects
with all governmental, health and police requirements. Each Owner and tenant shall remove, at its own
expense, any rubbish or trash of any character which may accumulate on its property and shall keep
unlandscaped and landscaped areas neat and well - maintained. Rubbish and trash shall not be disposed
of on the premises by burning in open fires or incinerators. All rubbish and trash containers shall be
properly screened by an appropriate enclosure.
Analysis: As Horizons continues to development it provides an opportunity to evaluate and potentially
modify the regulations that were implemented prior to the business park being operational. The
proposed modifications address the issue of outdoor storage, which has already arisen and staff
anticipates will continue to arise. The proposed PD amendment assists with the function of the park and
conforms with the principles of the UDO and Master Plan. Considering this, staff recommends approval
of the proposed amendment.
