FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Costs for the study would be borne by the Applicant DESCRIPTION: The Union Pacific Railroad Company is requesting a General Plan Amendment to a plan designation that would allow a mini-storage facility on its property. All Aboard Mini-Storage is proposing to construct a self storage facility on a 4.21 acre site (part of a larger approximately 9 acre right-of way) located in the Union Pacific Railroad Company right-of-way south of Dougherty Road. The facility would consist ofa 2,794 square foot Manager's Unit and 10 storage buildings providing 82,875 square feet of storage, for a total of 85,669 square feet. ---------------~~-----------------------~~---------~-------------~-----------------------~---------------------~------ ITEM NO. 6> 1 Of) COPIES TO: Applicant Owner In-house distribution iIo. .. ANAL YSIS General Plan Amendment -. General Plan/Land Use The General Plan designation of this site is "Transportation Corridor". This designation allows transportation-oriented land uses only. Self storage facilities are not permitted by this designation. The most appropriate General Plan designation which would permit a mini-storage use is the Business Park/Industrial designation. Floor Area Ratio The Business Park/Industrial designation allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio of.40 (a building can cover no more than 40% of the site). The project, as currently designed, proposes a total building area of 85,669 square feet on a 183,400 square foot site. The proposed FAR would therefore be .46.7. No industrial plan designation of the General Plan allows a FAR greater than .40. When informed of this, the Applicant indicated that his firm would revise the project to observe the .40 FAR. Reasons for approval of initiation of the Study: 1. The use would provide additional self storage capacity within Dublin. 2. The use would be consistent with business park/industrial uses in the vicinity. . 3. The use would improve a difficult-to-use site. Reasons for denial of initiation of the Study: 1. The site could be combined with adjacent parcels that are underutilized and used for multiple high density housing, commercial office, or research and development uses. 2. There are already several self storage facilities in the city such as Allsafe Self Storage, Dublin Self Storage, Dublin Security Storage, Public Storage, and U-Haul Self Storage. The average occupancy rate of self storage developments in Dublin is 93%. RECOMMENDATION Give staff direction and either approve or deny the applicants request for a General Plan Amendment stud y. .
