the triangle lormed between Red Canyon Road (CR 1 15) and the frontage road.
The site includes signihcant slopes associated with the flrll of CR ll5.

[I. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
Zorung: The subject property is currently zoned C/L. Although mini-storage
units are a use by right in the ClLzole, storage units (i.e. warehouses) require
a Special Use Permit. Section 2.02.31of the ZonngResolution defines storage
as "the act of storing or state of being stored, specifically, the safe keeping of
goods in a warehouse or other depository."
Water and Sewer: The applicant is proposing to use water from an existing well
on the property. A new leach field was installed on the property with additional
inf,rltrator panels to accommodate the proposed building.
Access: Access is available from both CR 115 and the State Highway 82
frontage road. These access points appear sufficient to handle the traffic
associated with the existing commercial uses and the proposed storage facility.
Parking: Section 5.01.02 of the Zorttng Resolution (Minimum Off-Street
Parking) exempts storage areas from off-street parking requirements. Therefore,
no parking spaces are required for the proposed structure.
rv.SIIGGESTED FINDINGS
That proper publication and public notice was provided as requird by law for
the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners.

For the above stated and other reasons, the proposed use is in the best interest
