Kelly Templin presented the Staff Report, explaining that the applicant desires to
expand their business into the neighboring property at 3910 Harvey. He pointed
out the uses in a PDD.
Jessica Jimmerson, a local planning consultant representing the applicant, stated
that the request is to rezone 2 pieces of property, one that is already developed
under the old zoning ordinance and the second is proposed for expansion,
pointing out that the proposed use is a low traffic generator as well as low noise
and nuisance and is in compliance with the 30/60 plan, the PDD Policy, the UDO,
the City's Comprehensive Plan, Strategic Plan and the Code of Ordinances.
Chairman Shafer opened the public hearing.
Kathy Eugster, 12 Vista Lane, spoke in opposition to the development, expressing
concerns regarding flooding, stating that adding this development to the existing
development that currently has become a nuisance with it's lighting and noise
would only exacerbate the problems.
John Vilas, Chairman of the Harvey Hillsides Architectural Control Committee
and residing at 15 Ranchero, concurred with the Staff's recommendations.
Joe Marek, co -owner of Stop and Store, addressed the detention issues, explaining
that the drainage requirements for the development met all the existing
engineering requirements. He added that the noise complaints voiced by Ms.
Eugster should be directed to the adjacent business development. He also
clarified the hours of operation for the storage facility and said that he was
unaware of any lighting problems, but would take steps to correct the problem if
one does exist.
Development Services Director Templin confirmed that this item would be
required to go before the Design Review Board where all the issues of a PDD
development would be addressed.
Chairman Shafer closed the public hearing.

Regular Agenda Item No. 12.1 -- Public hearing discussion and possible action on a rezoning from C -3 Light
Commercial to PDD Planned Development district for the Space Control Limited located at 3820 and 3910 Harvey road.
Director of Development Services Kelly Templin remarked that the applicant began the development of a mini - storage
warehouse facility at 3820 Harvey under the Zoning Ordinance, which allowed the use in C -3, however, the use is no
longer permitted in C -3 under the Unified Development Ordinance. The development at 3920 Harvey is grandfathered, but
the applicant would like to expand their business into the neighboring property at 3910 Harvey. The rezoning will bring the
developing use into compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance and allow for the expansion of the business.

Mini - Storage Warehouse
Offices
