Summary:
The applicant is seeking Major Site Plan approval to construct two new free-standing one-story warehouse buildings, each with approximately 6,630 SF of warehouse space and 1,482 SF of accessory office space, with parking provided near each building. The site currently has an 8,000-square-foot one-story warehouse. The site will also include approximately 69,480 square feet of outdoor storage.
As required by Code, the project must provide perimeter landscaping and screening of the outdoor storage. A Type C buffer, which includes an 8-foot masonry wall, is required along South Andrews Avenue (the front property line), and a Type A buffer is required along all other sides. While a wall is not required along the remaining perimeters, the outdoor storage material must be screened. The applicant has proposed chain-link fencing with screening slats along those sides. The site meets the minimum parking, pervious area, and vehicular use area landscaping requirements of the Zoning Code.
The project was granted a special exception approval via PZ#26-17000002 for the proposed outdoor storage. The project was reviewed by the DRC on December 29, 2025 and February 18, 2026. The Architectural Appearance Committee approved the Building Design on April 7th, 2026.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
An application for a Major Site Plan shall be approved only on a finding that there is competent, substantial evidence in the record that the development, as proposed:
1. Is consistent with the land use designation in the comprehensive plan;
The property has a land use designation of I (Industrial). The proposed industrial development is a compatible use for this land use category.

The City shall emphasize redevelopment and infill, which concentrates the growth and intensifies the land uses consistent with the availability of existing urban services and infrastructure in order to conserve natural and man-made resources.
Policy 01.14.07.
All site plans will be reviewed for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) design principles such as lighting, street design, natural surveillance, natural access control, and territorial reinforcement. CPTED infrastructure such as security lighting, security cameras, bollards, and other access control methods will be required based on the specific needs of the project.
