JORDAN VALLI ARCHITECTS RECITALS:After report thereon by
the Planning Commission and after due public hearings as required
by law, and after receiving a recommendation
from the Planning Commission recommending, by Resolution
No. PC-22-94, that modifications to Conditional Use Permit
No. 1906-91 be granted to allow construction and
operation of a self storage facility and construction of a
two story building within 70 feet of property zoned
R-1, upon property situated north of Chapman Avenue
and west of McPherson Road, primarily
within the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-
of-way, the City Council considered modifications to Conditional
Use Permit No. 1906-91 and determined that
the recommendation of the Planning Commission should be upheld
and modifications to Conditional Use Permit No. 1906-
91
be granted. Subject property is more particularly described in
Exhibit "A"attached.
During the public hearing, the City Council found the facts as
follows:1. That on August 27, 1991, the
City Council approved Zone Change 1136-91 and Conditional Use Permit
1906-91 which allowed the subject site to
be developed with a 72,000 square foot
mini-storage facility with an apartment for an on-
site manager. Public access to the facility would be
from McPherson Road. The project site is
located north
2. That the applicant is proposing to modify the approved
site plan for the mini-storage facility by
the
following:adjusting the site's property
boundaries,moving the projects' public entryway and manager'
s
unit,adding approximately 20,000 square feet of
storage area,
and changing a building from one to two
stories.3. That the applicant is adjusting the project'
s boundaries by a land swap with the owner of the
office building to the east of the subject site and by
buying an unused portion to the rear of the City's
Resource Center
site.4. That the applicant is requesting the revisions to
his project to resolve several code problems caused by
an adjacent office building that was built across
his property line and to better utilize his
property.5. That the Planning commission, by a vote of 4 to
1,approved the requested modifications to the
proposal since the revised site plan improved
on-site circulation and security, and the
additional storage area and two story building would not have
an adverse impact on surrounding residents and
businesses. The one vote against the project reflected an
opinion that the proposed mini-storage facility
would create a barrier between
various residential neighborhoods.NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the
City Council of the city of Orange that modifications
to Conditional Use Permit No. 1906-91 be granted
for the following reasons:1. The revised site plan
improves upon on-site circulation and the
operation of a self-storage facility.2. The revised
site plan does not
adversely affect neighboring residents or businesses.BE
