The property is located north of Stacy Road and west of Chelsea Boulevard. The property to the north is zoned Planned Development No. 92 Single-Family Residential R-7. The property to the west is zoned Planned Development No. 92 Single-Family Residential R-7 and Planned Development No. 92 Single-Family Residential R-5. To the south (across Stacy Road), the property is zoned Planned Development No. 45 Corridor Commercial. The property to the east (across Chelsea Boulevard) is zoned Planned Development No. 78 Corridor Commercial and Planned Development No. 102 Corridor Commercial.

The applicant is proposing to develop the 13.605± acre tract for a mini-warehouse/public storage facility and garage condos. The property will be divided into three lots; Lot 3 for a future restaurant use, Lot 4 for the mini-warehouse/public storage facility, and Lot 5 for the garage condos. The property is zoned Planned Development No. 92 Shopping Center. The applicant is proposing to amend the Development Regulations, and adopt a Concept Plan and Building Elevations for the property. 

The two proposed mini-warehouse/public storage buildings on Lot 4 total approximately 93,700 square feet, with 1,050 square feet dedicated for office use. These buildings will primarily be one story, except for a portion of Building A, which will be two story with a maximum height of 30'. The five proposed buildings for garage condos on Lot 5 total approximately 373,514 square feet. The garage condo buildings will be one story with a maximum height of 25'.

Parking and landscaping provided exceeds ALDC requirements.

Screening for the property will consist of an eight foot (8') tubular steel fence on the western side of Lot 4. Screening will consist of altering panels of eight foot (8') masonry screening wall and eight foot (8') tubular steel fence with enhanced landscaping on the western side of Lot 5 along the 24' Firelane. Additionally, a six foot (6') masonry screening wall exists along the western property line. Screening on the eastern side of Lot 4 will be provided through the side of the buildings and an eight foot (8') wrought iron fence with opaque gates. Screening on the eastern side of Lot 5 is also provided through the side of the buildings and an eight foot (8') wrought iron fence with opaque gates, in addition to an eight foot (8') masonry screening wall.

There are a total of six (6) access points into the development; three (3) access points on Chelsea Boulevard (one existing and two proposed), two (2) existing access points from the southern properties through firelane and access easements, and one (1) existing access point on Stacy Road. Left turn lanes will also be constructed on Chelsea Boulevard.

The building elevations show brick, split-face CMU, metal, and glass as the primary exterior building materials with standing seam metal roofing.

The development regulations include language regarding the additional permitted uses, definition of garage condos, screening, street improvements, hours of operation, auctions, and other special zoning provisions. 

The PD Amendment request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee.

On August 16, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request, with the additional provision to include the reduction of the side yard setback from 10' to 5' on the southern side of Lot 5.

Staff has added another development regulation after Planning and Zoning Commission approval regarding screening. If there are any exterior doors providing entry into storage areas or garage condos along the western façade of the building, the western door shall be screened from the adjacent property by an eight foot (8') masonry screening wall (constructed on the western side of the firelane easement).
