Staff responded the use of self-storage is permitted in the ML Light Manufacturing district only with approval of a Special Use Permit. Commissioner Elms questioned staff if the ML Light Manufacturing district would be suitable in lieu of a commercial zoning to abut the neighboring residentially zoned properties. Mark Wood, Assistant City Manager, responded that from an economic development perspective the ML zoning would not be appropriate and that a commercial retail zoning would be ideal for the subject property. Staff added that if the applicant proposed a retail use in conjunction with the proposed self-storage use for the remainder of the subject property then it would increase the best use of the property and accommodate the desired commercial retail use. Commissioner Kelley questioned staff regarding curb cuts off of Precinct Line Road. Ben Bryner, Director of Community Development, responded that this particular right-of-way is regulated by the Texas Department of Transportation and would need to meet all of their requirements. Chairwoman Mathisen questioned staff regarding the lot width requirement. Staff responded that a regulation to allow for a narrow lot width can be added to the Planned Unit Development zoning ordinance. Commissioner Elms questioned staff regarding the number of stories for the proposed buildings.

The Minor Plat is for a single lot to allow for an optometry business with one additional lease space planned for restaurant use. The lot does not meet the minimum lot width for the CC-1 zoning district and thus requires a plat waiver. Chairwoman Mathisen questioned staff if there is a shared driveway with the adjacent properties. Staff responded that the applicant’s current design proposes their own drive way but staff is requiring that they connect with the adjacent property to the north to provide emergency vehicles to exit back onto Colleyville Boulevard.
