THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE BY REVISING
SECTION 17.92.010 AND BY ADDING TO SAID
SECTION SUBSECTION (K) TO ALLOW SELF
STORAGE FACILITIES OR MINI-WAREHOUSES
IN ZONES OTHER THAN R-I, R-D,
O-P, AND C-P SUBJECT TO
APPROVAL OF A
CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT.CITY OF ORANGE RECITALS:After due public hearings
as required by law, the City Council considered
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 55-84 recommending
approval of self storage facilities, or mini-warehouses in zones other
than C-2, C-3, M-I and M-2
by issuance of a Conditional Use Permit and upheld the
recommenda-tion of the
Planning Commission, in part, subject to the modifications hereinafter
set forth.Upon the
public hearing before the City Council the
following facts were determined:1. Mini-warehouse development is currently a
permitted use in the C-2, C-3,
M-I and
M-2 zones. There is at
present no procedure to allow such development
in other zones.2. Mini-warehouse
development is typically character-ized by low vehicular traffic generation.
Cal Trans trip generation Research Counts indicate that average daily
trips are 0.28 per storage unit
or
50 per acre, which is comparable
to the amount of traffic generated
by a single-family detached subdivision.3.
Mini-warehouse development is also typically characterized
by low noise generation. Because traffic volumes are low,
noise generation from such development is also low.
Restricting such use to storage only
would
4. Because of these characteristics, mini-
warehouse development is felt to be a non-
intrusive land use, and can be utilized as an
appropriate buffer between non-compatible land uses
such as industrial and residential, and between
residential and other noise generating uses such as
freeways and railways.5. Additionally, it is
felt that mini-warehouse development can be
compatible with high activity/noise land uses because of the
lack of people on site to be affected by such
uses, and with low activity/noise land
uses because such development itself has a low level
of activity and produces
little traffic or noise.6. These
characteristics indicate that mini-warehouse development is a unique type
of land use, and as such can also be
appropriate in areas which are zoned other than
C-2, C-3, M-l and
M-2.7. However, after reviewing the testimony presented
at the public hearing, the Council
has reached the following conclusions concerning the Amendment of
Section 17.92.010 of the Orange Municipal Code:a.
All uses listed in Section 17.92.010
should be subject to approval of a Conditional Use
Permit by the City Council
after receipt of a recommendation from the
Planning Commission with no provision for any
final determination by the Planning Commission pursuant to
a Conditional Use Permit
for any uses listed in Section
17.92.010.b. Self Storage facilities or
Mini-Warehouses should also be permitted by
approval of a Conditional Use Permit by
the City Council after receipt of
a recommendation by the Planning
Commission, but such self storage developments are inherently
incompatible with uses permitted in R-l, R-
D,
O-P, and C-P zones and should not
be allowed in these zones.8. Site plan
review by the Planning Commission and final approval
by the City Council through the Conditional Use
Permit process can be expected to result
in the imposition of approj:;rlate
conditions relating to building height, setback, access and
driveway locations, parking, security and
safety
allowed to insure that each self storage develop-
ment will be compatible with surrounding land uses
when placed in zones other than R-l, R-D,
O-P and C-P by Council approval
of
a Conditional Use Permit.9. That one (1) person spoke in
favor two (2) spoke against the proposal at
least unless such uses were excluded
from certain zones,
including single-family residential zones.NOW, THEREFORE, THE
COUNCIL
DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:Section I:Section 17.92.010 of
the Orange Municipal Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:The following uses are unique
and of such special form as to make impractical
their inclusion into any specific zone classification, and may be
permitted by the issuance of a conditional use permit by
the City Council upon recommenda-tion of the Planning Commission, pursuant
to Section 17.
