Location: 4304 NW Mattox Road Requested Action: To consider a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow outdoor storage. Zoning: GP-I General Planned Industrial Existing Land Use: Industrial Proposed Land Use: Continued industrial with associated outdoor storage Procedure: In accordance with Section 400.580 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), a special use permit is required to allow outdoor storage. Therefore, the procedure for a special use permit is a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the Board of Aldermen after notification has been given in a paper of general circulation at least 15 days before the hearing date and property owners within 185’ of the subject property have been notified of such hearing. These requirements have been fulfilled on this application. Project Description The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit pursuant to Chapter 400.580 of the Riverside Municipal Code to allow outdoor storage on two separate areas of the property. They are proposing 34,850 square feet of storage at the northwest corner of the property and an additional 32,117 square feet of storage at the southwest corner of the property. The proposed storage areas will be screened with an 8-foot black vinyl coated chain link fence with matching black slats. Heavy landscaping is proposed on the east and west sides of the proposed storage areas. Analysis The UDO provides specific criteria for outdoor storage (Section 400.580) and the review of special use permits. The applicant has not disclosed who will be occupying the property or what they will be storing. This makes a full analysis of the request for outdoor storage not possible because any reasonable conditions can’t be determined. Following are the relevant criteria based on the information available to staff. 1. Special Use Permit: Outdoor storage shall only be permitted after approval of a special use permit. 2. Screening: Outdoor storage shall be contained within a fully enclosed building or in a fenced open yard adequately screened. The outdoor storage is proposed to be located in a fenced open yard so screening is required. The property in question is surrounded by business and major roads within the Horizons Development. The Newman property is located to the north, while Frito-Lays in located to the south. The east of the property faces NW Mattox Road with Premium Waters across the street. The west Page 2 of 2 of the property faces NW Belgium Blvd with Green Bay Packing and Complete Home Concepts across the street. A black vinyl coated chain link fence is proposed with matching black slats around both storage areas. Heavy landscaping is also proposed on the east and west of each storage area, however no landscaping in proposed to buffer the properties to the north and south. Without knowing what will be stored in these areas it is difficult for staff to know whether the proposed screening will be adequate. 3. Location: Outdoor storage shall be located in either a side or rear yard. The application complies with this regulation proposing the storage areas to be in the side yards. 4. Appearance: Outdoor storage shall have a neat and orderly appearance. Without knowing what will be stored staff cannot comment on the appearance of the storage. 5. Setback: All setback requirements shall be observed. The application complies with this regulation allowing for 10-foot setback from the property line. 6. Height: The height of materials shall not exceed the height limitation (45 feet) of the zoning district. Without knowing what will be stored staff cannot comment on the height of the stored material. 7. Parking Surfaces. Off-street parking and loading areas shall be hard surfaced. The application complies with this regulation. 8. Consistence with the Comprehensive Master Plan. Without knowing what type of operation will be at this location or what will be stored in the proposed locations staff cannot comment on the consistency with the Comprehensive Master Plan. Recommendation Staff does not have enough information at this time and therefor recommends denial of this application, however, some conditions staff would consider with the limited information are as follows:  Black slats in the chain link fence be removed as they tend to break easily and result in an unkempt look for the property.  Additional landscaping be added to the north and south of each storage area.  A stormwater plan be submitted to the City Engineer detailing how stormwater will be handled for the detention basin that will be replaced by the proposed outdoor storage at the southwest corner of the property.
