In a recent government meeting, a proposal for a new RV storage facility was discussed, which includes the construction of four buildings divided into 46 individual units. Each unit is designed to be approximately 50 feet by 25 feet, featuring garage doors and separate access doors. The proposal also seeks a waiver to utilize metal building materials on the sides and rear of the property, while the front will be constructed with brick to enhance aesthetic appeal.
The facility's design aims to comply with corridor standards, particularly for the buildings visible from the street. However, concerns were raised regarding the visibility of metal materials from the road, with staff recommending that brick or stone be used on the most visible sides to maintain a pleasing appearance. The applicant acknowledged the request and expressed a willingness to consider architectural enhancements to mitigate visual impact.
The meeting also addressed specific conditions for the facility's operation, including a prohibition on residential uses, a requirement for vehicles to be stored within the units, and a ban on tailgating on-site. These measures aim to ensure that the facility operates smoothly and adheres to local regulations.
A public hearing was held, but no community members attended to voice their opinions. The proposal is set to move forward, pending further discussions on the materials and design elements to be used on the visible portions of the buildings. The planning staff expressed support for the conditional use and waiver, contingent upon compliance with the outlined conditions.
