PDD CONCEPT PLAN
STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Date: June 11, 2004
E -mail: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
For
STOP & STORE SELF STORAGE (SP) (04 -121)
A Concept Plan shall be required prior to any development of property zoned Planned
Development District (PDD) or Planned Mixed -Use District (P -MUD).
Zoning District: PDD
Approved Land Uses: Mini - Storage Warehouse, Office, Personal Service Shop
Location: 3820 Harvey Road (West of the intersection of Pamela and Harvey Roads)
Applicant: Pat Marek for JDP Holding, Inc.
Item Summary: A PDD was requested for this property to expand the existing mini -
storage warehouse development, Stop and Store, and to bring the use back into compliance
with zoning regulations. Stop and Store was a permitted use when it began development, but
became a nonconforming, grandfathered use in Light Commercial with the adoption of the UDO.
The benefit to the city is that property is being consolidated (as encouraged through the 30 -60
Study), and a low- intensity use is allowed without opening opportunities for greater commercial
intensities to develop.
This property is on approximately 2.8 acres bounded by C -3 to the west, a four -plex in A -O to
the east, the Harvey Hillsides ETJ neighborhood to the south, and State HWY 30 /Harvey Road
to the north.
Parks and Recreation Board Recommendations: N/A
Greenways Program Manager Recommendations: N/A
Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval as submitted.
Review Criteria:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with
the character of the surrounding area;
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and
purpose of this Section;
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not
adversely affect adjacent development;
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street
directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association;
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not
limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities;
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle,
or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated
by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing
zoning and land uses in the area.
Minimum Requirements: Unless otherwise indicated in the approved Concept Plan, the
minimum requirements for this development shall be those stated in the Unified Development
Ordinance for C -3 Light Commercial.
