3. Consideration of Adding Items to the Agenda
None.
4. Consideration of providing recommendation regarding proposed Zoning Ordinance
amendment allowing Industrial Self Storage in the I-1 and I-2 Districts.
Angela Schumann introduced the item and noted the City recently received a land use
application to allow self -storage in an industrial district. The Planning Commission asked
for comment from the IEDC on this matter.
Schumann introduced City Planner, Steve Grittman. Grittman explained the land use
request in further detail and explained that in a previous approval, the City granted eight
lots for units of about 7,000 square feet each. It was noted that the developer came back
to the City, to amend the types of uses that would be allowed on these lots. These uses
would include self -storage, a relatively new use otherwise known as man caves". There
are some suburban communities that have recently allowed these uses in industrial zoning
districts. Grittman noted that the zoning ordinance does not currently allow such uses.
Grittman noted that he was looking for any comments or suggestions that the IEDC may
have.
The IEDC discussed in length the proposal. Conversation revolved around parking,

have small industrial lots for developing.

ZONING ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING "COMMERCIAL" AND "INDUSTRIAL"
