Commissioner Elms opened discussion regarding concerns that the back portion of the lot is being proposed for development prior to development of the front portion of the lot.

Staff added that the applicant will be required to provide a site plan with engineering details which will be reviewed by staff to make sure it complies with the Land Development Code. The public hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. Vice Chair van Bever opened discussion. Commissioner Elms noted that there is a serviceable plan for how self-storage can be done, but he is not convinced that it is the highest and best use of the property. Commissioner Allee added that Master Plan dictates for the property to be zoned as a commercial district.
