Case #/Title:
Z260009 – Luxury Garage Condominiums
Supervisorial District:
4
Applicant/Owner:
William Lally / Vicente Gonzales
Request:
Zone Change from Rural-43 to C-2 CUPD
Site Location:
Generally located 337’ north of the NWC of Campbell Ave. &
Perryville Rd. in the Buckeye/Goodyear area
Site Size:
Approximately 9.7 acres
County Island Status:
No
Additional
Comments:
•
The C-2 CUPD will facilitate the construction of storage garages for individual ownership.
Although no plan of development is incorporated into this request, there will be a subsequent
condominium plat submitted for administrative approval.
•
Water service to the site is identified as Arizona Water Company. Wastewater is via individual on-
lot septic systems. The lack of sewer necessitates limited land uses and the CUPD overlay is
applied to limit entitled uses to only uses that can be accommodated via septic system
acceptable to the Planning & Development and Environmental Services departments.
•
Perryville Rd. forms the eastern boundary of the site. It is under the jurisdiction of the City of
Goodyear. A Traffic Impact Statement will be required to be submitted and approved by the City.
•
The County’s comprehensive plan designates the site within a Rural Development Area (RDA).
The subject site is within the City of Buckeye’s municipal planning area and is designated Rural
in their general plan. Development within this designation should retain rural character of the
surrounding area and be low density. Although the area falls under the City of Buckeye municipal
planning area, the City of Goodyear jurisdiction is immediately east of the property boundary
encompassing Perryville Rd. The City of Buckeye is not opposed to the C-2 CUPD zoning but
expressed concern with the potential for all commercial uses normally entitled with C-2 zoning.
•
There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies. There is no known opposition.
•
Z260009 approval will require a majority vote of the quorum.

recommending the Board of Supervisors approve Z260009 subject
to conditions ‘a’ – ‘i’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit
entitled “Zone Change with Overlay 4606 N Perryville Rd: Luxury Garage Condominiums“,
consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated 5/11/26, and stamped received 5/12/26, except as
modified by the following conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in
substantial conformance with the approved site plan. Minor and major amendments to
the site plan will be determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
b.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “Zone Change with Overlay 4606 N Perryville Rd: Luxury Garage Condominiums”,
consisting of 11 pages, dated 5/11/26, and stamped received 5/12/26, except as modified
by the following conditions.
c.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. A traffic impact study is required with the Plan of development. The traffic impact
study (TIS) shall be approved by the City of Goodyear since access will be via Perryville
Road which is under Goodyear jurisdiction. a. Since access is via Perryville Road, City
of Goodyear roadway, please seek a TIS review waiver from MCDOT.
2. Engineering and drainage review was based on a zone change without a plan of
development. Therefore, without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no
development approval is inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number
of proposed building lots/units, drainage design, access and roadway alignments.
These items will be addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to
the County for further review and/or entitlement.
3. Engineering review of re-zone cases is conceptual in nature. All development and
engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 905 of the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for
Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies,
standards and best practices at the time of application for construction.
4. The County does not provide fire service, therefore, it is incumbent that the applicant
seek service and approval of plans from the jurisdictional fire service provider.
d.
The following Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) conditions
shall apply:
1. A Notice of Intent to Discharge application for a septic system is required for any
construction. Application must be submitted to the MCESD Onsite Wastewater
Program.
2. Wastewater is not permitted to discharge to an adjacent parcel’s septic system.

506-6666 or by email at septicquestions@maricopa.gov.
8. An Approval to Construct application is required and must be submitted to MCESD’s
Subdivision & Infrastructure Program for water, reclaimed water and/or wastewater
system infrastructure.
9. A Water Service Agreement signed by the Utility is required and must be submitted to
MCESD’s Subdivision & Infrastructure Program if the site/development will be
provided with water and/or reclaimed water by a Utility. A Capacity Assurance Form
issued by the Utility is required to MCESD’s Subdivision & Infrastructure Program if the
site/development wastewater service is being provided by a Utility.
e.
The applicant will not oppose annexation into a municipality should it become available
at any future point.
f.
The following CUPD standards shall apply:
1. Maximum Height: 30’
2. Uses allowed: Until such time as the site is served by sewer, uses on the site shall be
limited to garage storage units including condominiums for individual ownership and
ancillary uses; and other uses acceptable to the Maricopa County Environmental

h.
Administrative approval of a Plan of Development and/or Final Plat will be required prior
to approval and issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the site.
Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the
emergency fire protection jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed
in accordance with their regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection
service will be provided to the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy,
local fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required.
i.
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,
with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application,
subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property
may be considered for revocation to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It
is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with
any conditions, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use,
divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the
property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the
July 15, 2025

Page 4 of 4
Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of
the date the Zone Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same
value of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.

Project Summary:
1.
The request seeks to rezone two parcels, APNs 502-29-026J & 502-29-026H, under unified C-2
CUPD zoning. The cumulative size of the properties are approximately 9.75 acres and are located
midblock between Camelback Rd. & Indian School Rd. The C-2 CUPD will facilitate the
construction of storage garages for individual ownership. This type of development will require a
final plat as a plan of development.
2.
Current site conditions include a honeybee production facility in a 29,000 sq. ft. building on parcel
502-29-026J and a single-family residence on parcel 502-29-026H. The application was filed on
3/11/2026 and a TAC meeting was held on 4/21/2026. This application does not include a precise
Plan of Development (POD), so operational and site details will be submitted with a future POD
application for administrative review and approval prior to commercial construction permit/s to
establish the use.
3.
Building height deviation and use restrictions are requested as part of the CUPD overlay. The
following CUPD table shows a reduction in the maximum height from 40’ to 30’ and is requested
to limit visual impacts from adjacent residential development. The CUPD would restrict uses to
garage condominiums for individual sale & ownership.

Perryville Road is under the jurisdiction of the City of Goodyear. A Traffic Impact Statement will
be required to be submitted and approved by the City of Goodyear.
Adopted Plans:
7.
Comprehensive Plan Framework 2040 (adopted May 20, 2026): The subject site is not within a
County Area Plan and thus the comprehensive plan defaults it to the ‘Rural Development Area
(RDA)’. The Rural Development Area is utilized for rural land uses and Rural zoning. For sites 40
Z260009
Page 6 of 11
acres or fewer the county’s comprehensive plan does not require an amendment to the governing
land use plan but does expect furtherance of a preponderance of planning policies.
8.
ImagineBuckeye (Amended June 7, 2022): The subject site is within the City of Buckeye’s
Municipal Planning Area and designates the site as rural. Development within this designation
should retain rural character of the surrounding area and be low density. Although the area falls
under the City of Buckeye municipal planning area, the City of Goodyear jurisdiction is
immediately east of the property’s boundaries encompassing Perryville Rd.
Public Participation Summary:
9.
The applicant received no opposition to this request after performing all required citizen
participation outreach. The applicant complied with required posting and notification
requirements. The citizen results report indicated that there was no public comment to the
application. Staff has not received any public comment on the application.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
10.
The City of Buckeye requested the CUPD limit uses to garage condominiums and to codify the
City’s development and landscape standards as noted in an e-mail dated 5/12/26. The e-mail
referenced that the City is not opposed to the proposed development of a luxury storage unit, but
were concerned with the potential for all commercial uses normally entitled with C-2 zoning. The
City recommended limiting the use to just the garage storage with enhanced design and
landscaping requirements. The applicant ensured staff they would meet with City staff and a
revised narrative was provided with a list of the restricted uses along with clarification that
allowed uses per the CUPD would be limited to garage condominiums for individual sale. The
applicant did not provide comment to staff in regard to the City’s request to codify their
development and landscape standards. Staff has recommended as a condition of C-2 CUPD
zoning approval that part of the POD the applicant provide documentation from the City as to
appropriateness of screening/landscaping.
Staff Analysis:
11.
The C-2 CUPD request would be the only permanent commercial island located midblock at an
unsignalized residential intersection surrounded on three sides by residential subdivisions.
Further, the proposal does not align with City or County comprehensive planning policies that call
for preservation of rural character. This matter can be addressed with screening/landscaping at
POD. Staff also notes the proposal calls for limiting building heights to 30’ which is below that of
surrounding residential zoning districts.
12.
Staff notes this type of product services a regional market, arguably calling for the C-2
intermediate commercial zoning designation rather than a C-1 neighborhood commercial
designation (C-1), arguably more appropriate for this location which would be less intense with
uses that serve lower density neighborhoods such as those that surround the subject property.
However, the proposed use will be a low-traffic generator compared to the myriad of more
conventional neighborhood and community/intermediate commercial uses such as retail sales
and services. The latter uses would be inappropriate for the subject site.
13.
The applicant justifies the use as compatible and references the neighborhood north of Coolidge
St. (not adjacent to the site) as a location with non-residential uses permitted under Special Use
Permits. Staff notes SUP (Z2023034) for an adjacent wireless communication facility was not
Z260009
Page 7 of 11
approved, but was referenced in the applicant’s narrative as recently approved. Said parcel
contains Crossroads Baptist Church. Additionally, staff notes two historic SUPs, one for a dog
kennel Z 73-49, and another for a roping arena / saddle shop and auction house Z 88-108; despite
age of SUP entitlement and subsequent lot splitting, the latter appears to still be operating on a
portion of the original site based upon interpretation of aerial photography and the Assessor’s
classification. With regard to the former it now contains a fire station for the Arizona Fire and
Medical Authority based upon the same review. Staff notes some business listings appear on this
neighborhood street in online searches including towing and trailer manufacturing, but no
commercial zoning nor SUPs for these uses exist. The church, fire station, and a private
residential sport court developed in this neighborhood are uses by-right in the Rural zoning
districts. These were referenced in the applicant’s narrative as approved under SUPs.
Z260009
Page 8 of 11
Z260009
Page 9 of 11
14.
Having said all this, staff supports the request. The use will be limited to condominium storage
and thus will not generate traffic, lighting or noise to be disharmonious with the surrounding
residential neighborhoods. Limited building height will help preserve the area’s rural character.
Staff will require the developer to coordinate with the City of Buckeye on ultimate screening and
landscaping of the site, which may also help to preserve rural character. To date, there is no
known public opposition nor concern with the proposed C-2 CUPD zoning.
Recommendation:
15.

Perryville Luxury Garage Condominiums
Purpose of Request
This request seeks to rezone the subject parcel (APN’s 502-29-026J, 502-29-
026H), the “Property” from Rural-43 to C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) with a
Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD) overlay, for the entire 9.75 gross
acres. The parcel is located on N Perryville Road between W Camelback and W
Indian School Road. The requested change to C-2 CUPD would allow for the use
of Luxury Garage Condominiums, which is a low traffic generator and an
appropriate use for the underutilized land. Specifically, the benefits for Luxury
Garage Condominiums are that:
•
Luxury Garage Condominium facilities are generally quiet
•
They create very little traffic
•
They have no impact on schools
•
Acts as a noise buffer between new residential to the south and to the north
towing company, church, trailer manufactory, roping arena/saddle shop,
and fire station
•
They provide a community service as no comparable facilities exist currently
in the area
Description of Proposal
The subject Property was an existing honeybee production facility that was located
in a 29,000 square foot building. In the front, is a residential residence being used
as an Airbnb. With the rezoning of the dairy to the south to a residential
subdivision, the old honeybee operation became less compatible with the
encroaching residential uses. This proposed rezoning seeks to utilize an existing
property that has historically operated as a non-residential, but legal use into a
more compatible use to the area.
A Plan of Development (POD) will be submitted in a future phase of the entitlement
process. Luxury Garage Condominiums generate very low traffic volumes,
especially during peak commuting hours, and typically require minimal customer
parking as visits are short in duration.
A conceptual site plan is included with this rezoning request. Any future
commercial development will be in compliance with the Maricopa County Zoning
Ordinance (MCZO) C-2 zoning district standards and regulations per Section 504
and will be in compliance with C-2 development standards and regulations,
meeting setbacks, signage criteria, other than what is identified below in the CUPD

Perryville Luxury Garage Condominiums
table. Operational details including number of employees, hours of operation, and
other information will be discussed when the POD is submitted in the future.
Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD)
The Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD) Overlay is proposed to deviate
the MCZO standards for C-2.
Height: In consideration of the surrounding land uses, the proposed development
includes a reduction in the height of the Luxury Garage Condominiums to 30 feet
from 40 feet. This design adjustment is intended to create a smoother and more
appropriate transition between the facility and the adjacent new residential units.
Compatibility: There are four uses within the district that would not be suitable for
this specific location due to their potential impact on the surrounding residential
properties. As this narrative proposes Luxury Garage Condominiums, the client
would like to restrict the following uses for any future developer: Adult-oriented
facilities; Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facilities; Halfway Houses; Boarding
Houses; Recovery Communities; Liquor Stores; Cash Advance and Payday Loan
Facilities; Pawn Shop; Group care facilities and hospitals; Mobile Home Sales; &
Storage/maintenance of agricultural equipment. Additionally, this C-2 district shall
expressly allow for Luxury Garage Condominium for individual sale

are detailed within the table below:

Relationship to Surrounding Properties
The subject Property is surrounded by a variety of land uses. Properties to the
south and west are zoned R1-6. To the east is a PAD located within the City of
Goodyear. Most notably, properties to the north are in unincorporated county and
zoned RU-43. However, the neighborhood north along W Coolidge St. includes
several non-residential and higher-impact uses, including a recently approved SUP
for a wireless communications facility (Z2023034), a pickleball court, Buckeye
Valley Fire District Station 321, another SUP for a towing yard (Z88-108), and a
trailer manufacturing facility. These uses generate noise and visual impacts,
whereas the proposed use is quieter in nature and does not create unsightly
conditions, but rather stores any potential unsightly conditions in a luxury enclosed
facility. See Exhibit 1 for attached photos.
Justification
The proposed rezoning to allow Luxury Garage Condominiums represents a
compatible, low-impact land use that meets a demonstrated community need while
maintaining compatibility with surrounding properties. As the area is urbanizing,
nearby homebuilders like Fulton homes are creating smaller home products that
lack sufficient storage. Our firm had a conversation with Fulton Homes, the
homebuilder directly to the south, and is satisfied with the product we are building.
These Luxury Garage Condominiums are generally quiet in nature, generate
minimal traffic, and do not create demands on public services such as schools.
The Luxury Garage Condominiums would provide a valuable community service by
offering secure, organized storage for high-end collector cars and similar vehicles
that cannot reasonably be accommodated on typical residential lots. Many
surrounding properties, particularly in nearby residential areas, lack sufficient
space to store these items without negatively impacting neighborhood appearance
or violating local regulations. By providing a designated storage location, the
Luxury Garage Condominiums help reduce on-street and residential parking
concerns, as well as providing a safe and secure location for high-value property
reducing the threat of theft in nearby neighborhoods.
Page | 5
Perryville Luxury Garage Condominiums
The proposed use is well suited for the site and surrounding context, as it acts as
an effective transitional buffer between existing and planned residential
development to the south and east, and nearby uses to the north such as a towing
company, church, and fire station. The enclosed and controlled nature of the facility
helps mitigate noise and visual impacts, contributing to overall compatibility with
adjacent land uses.
Overall, the requested rezoning supports responsible land use planning by
providing a low-impact commercial use that serves a clear community need,
enhances neighborhood organization and safety, and maintains compatibility with
surrounding land uses while offering long-term benefits to the community.
Location and Accessibility
The site is located along N Perryville Road, a designated arterial, with proposed
access exclusively from N Perryville Road. This sufficient access point ensures
minimal disturbance to surrounding properties. The Luxury Garage Condominiums
will generate very low traffic volumes, especially during peak commuting hours,
and typically require minimal customer parking as they or their visitors are going to
park in or in front of the garages.
Compliance with City/Town General Plan
The site is located within Buckeye Planning Area and shows the property as Rural.
The Property is part of the Buckeye General Plan 2040 and is classified as Rural.
While commercial use is not traditionally categorized as a rural land use, the
surrounding context demonstrates a clear pattern of commercial and industrial
development operating under Special Use Permits (SUPs). Properties located
north of the site, although similarly designated as RU-43, contain uses that are
commercial and industrial in nature. This establishes a precedent of non-
agricultural and residential, revenue-generating activity within the immediate area.
This pattern also makes sense given the location next to a major arterial.
This Property is not in a county island and is therefore not subject to A.R.S. § 11-
814 (general plan requirements), as the Property is not completely surrounded by a
city or town. While the Property borders the City of Goodyear, it is within Buckeye’s
planning jurisdiction. Therefore, the guidelines in the adopted general plan of
Buckeye do not apply. However, our firm plans to meet with Buckeye staff before
the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the additional use regulations in
the amended narrative and address any remaining concerns.

Perryville Luxury Garage Condominiums
Circulation System
Perryville Road is maintained by the City of Goodyear. According to the City of
Goodyear’s Annual Daily Traffic Flow Map for Year 2019 Arterial Streets, this road
only receives 5,196 vehicles a day. Surrounding roadways in the area are
transitioning to becoming improved generally allowing for curb, gutter, and
sidewalk. Currently, the property frontage is a two-lane roadway.
While there is very little information regarding traffic numbers for Luxury Garage
Condominiums, these facilities commit low traffic volumes compared to almost any
other commercial, industrial, and even residential use. Compared to RV & Boat
storage or other types of mini storage, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) publication Trip Generation, 11th Edition, 2021, give these types of facilities a
very low rate of use. According to the 11th Edition, per 100 storage units only 1.68
trips and hours (at average PM peak) would take place. Additionally, since these
are Luxury Garage Condominiums, there is a strong likelihood that these should be
even less than mini storage, so therefore it will most likely not significantly increase
the number of vehicles using this roadway. Luxury Garage Condominiums would
be better than most other uses for the property.
Development Schedule
A Plan of Development (POD) for development of the Property will be applied
subsequent to obtaining commercial zoning entitlement approval once specific land
use(s) are determined.
Public Services
Water – Arizona Water Co.
Wastewater – Septic System, but may possibly be connected to Goodyear
Fire – Arizona Fire & Medical Authority (Buckeye Valley Fire District)
Police – Maricopa County Sheriff
Conclusion
The requested rezone to C-2 CUPD is justified given the location to major
crossroads, future development of the area, and proximity to communities that
utilize Luxury Garage Condominiums. Given this location to other noxious uses, lot
size, shape and width, the Property is not suitable for rural or large-scale
residential development. This use conforms with the purpose of the C-2 zoning
district because it is both compatible with nearby properties and supported by the

site's access to a major street. Our firm looks forward to continuing to work with
Maricopa County on this project, please let us know if there are any additional
questions.

Job Site Address: 4606 N. Perryville Road Litchfield Park, AZ 85340
APN(s):
502-29-026H, 502-29-026J
This applicant is requesting in their narrative a zone change from RU-43 to C-2
Commercial with a commercial unit plan of development overlay. The total rezone
request will be for the entire 9.75 gross acres. Development will be for luxury garage
condominiums. This zone change application was presented without a plan of
development.
PND Engineering Plan Review (DPR, FCD and PND Transportation) has reviewed the
1st submittal of the zone change request application routed for review on 3.11.2026
and has no objections to the zone change subject to the following conditions:
1. A traffic impact study is required with the Plan of development. The traffic
impact study (TIS) shall be approved by the City of Goodyear since access will
be via Perryville Road which is under Goodyear jurisdiction.
a. Since access is via Perryville Road, City of Goodyear roadway, please
seek a TIS review waiver from MCDOT.
2. Engineering and drainage review was based on a zone change without a plan
of development. Therefore, without the submittal of a precise plan of
development, no development approval is inferred by this review, including,
but not limited to number of proposed building lots/units, drainage design,
access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as
development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review
and/or entitlement.
Page 2 of 2
3. Engineering review of re-zone cases is conceptual in nature. All development
and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 905 of the
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards;
Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design
Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the
time of application for construction.
4. The County does not provide fire service, therefore, it is incumbent that the
applicant seek service and approval of plans from the jurisdictional fire service
provider.

Hello Daniel, Thank you for getting the submittal documents over for City staff review. We have sever al concerns/questions over the proposed rezoning. Question for County staff: The narrative points to sever al businesses and older SUPs north
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for getting the submittal documents over for City staff review.
We have several concerns/questions over the proposed rezoning.
Question for County staff:
•
The narrative points to several businesses and older SUPs north of the subject site. Are
businesses listed by the applicant all properly entitled/legally operating as home based
operations? Are the SUPs still valid? It appears the two of the three SUPs to the north are over
thirty years old and would likely have already sunset unless they were granted extensions.
Questions for applicant:
•
No conceptual site plan was included with the first submittal. Will the proposed garage condos
take up the entire site? If not, why is the whole site included in the proposed rezoning? Will the
exiting former honey building remain on site? If so, how will it be utilized? Will the existing
residence remain on site? Is there potential for it to be converted to a non-residential use?
•
Will there be buffering/landscaping provided to create a buffer to the platted residential
subdivision to the south and west?
•
Will the site include security lighting that could become a nuisance to neighboring properties?
•
Why is a Special Use Permit not being considered?
5
•
What level of electrical service will be run to each individual garage unit? Will the units be fully
customizable? Will they have individual water service? Would an induvial garage unit be allowed
to have a private restroom?
City concerns/comments:
•
The City's General Plan designates the property as Rural, which does not support the proposed
zoning intensity.
•
The proposed C-2 zoning is not supported by City staff due to proximity to residential properties,
incongruence with the General Plan, and midblock location not located at an arterial intersection.
o Staff may be more amenable to the request if it was amended to either a SUP or if the
CUPD eliminated all commercial uses other than the garage condos. With the current
proposal staff has to assess the request as if it would develop as any of the allowed C-2
uses other than the few explicitly prohibited in the proposed use table. This is even more
vital with no POD or site plan included with the CUPD request.
•
City staff requests an updated narrative to include a list of uses that the proposed garage condos
will allow garage owners to utilize their garage for. Will the units be utilized for full car
repair/restoration? What other uses could future owners have in the units? Would something like
a small wood working business be allowed to operate?
o City staff would request that the CUPD include limits of what each individual unit could be
used for. Staff understands that there will likely be a condo association to monitor uses of
the units, however it is still important that the allowed uses a crystal clear in the CUPD use
table.
•
City staff requests that if approved the CUPD includes landscaping and design requirements that
mirror the City's development code. It is vital that commercial development does not occur
within the City's municipal boundary that does not meet the City's expectations for site design.
We would be more than happy to meet with the applicant and/or County staff to discuss these concerns.
Please feel free to reach out with questions.
Kind regards,

Good afternoon, Daniel,
Thank you for sending notice of hearing dates for this one.
After reviewing the revised narrative our position on this one remains unchanged.
•
The CUPD overlay still allows most commercial uses that we view as not compatible with the
surrounding residential uses, the mid-block location of the site, and non-compliance with the
City's General Plan.
•
The narrative does not address the City's request to codify design and landscaping requirements
to mirror City requirements.
•
The applicant has not reached out to City planning staff to discuss these concerns.
Staff are not opposed to the ultimate proposed development of luxury storage units; however, we cannot
support the requested C-2 CUPD zoning as it would allow a myriad of potential commercial uses (minus
the few that are specifically prohibited). Modifications to the request that would make it more palatable
to City staff would be restricting the use in the CUPD to just luxury storage and including enhanced
design and landscaping requirements. This would provide certainty of how the site would develop and
allow for a reassessment if a different use is proposed in the form of an amendment to the CUPD.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
