BACKGROUND: Following Commission direction at the August 12, 2002, meeting, the
~"' attached ordinance, if enacted, will allow temporary, portable and enclosed storage structures
(such as PODS) to be placed anywhere on a residential -lot for a period of four days. A
provision to extend •this period of time to ten days in the case of a fire, storm or other type
""'" property loss, subject to approval of the City Manager, is also provided.
r ,.
A provision addressing use.of these types of storage structures within non-residential Zoning
Districts is .also proposed. Paragraph (b) (2) would allow these to be used for a period not to
exceed thirty days; prohibit their placement within the front setback, and prohibit their use for
storage of any chemical, hazardous, flammable or combustible materials.
An additional minor change is proposed within Paragraph (a) (1). The City's Building Official
has advised that the six-month limit for placement of construction trailers is inadequate` since
~, -the length of construction time for most any project within the City commonly exceeds six
months. The provision has been amended to simply require the removal of construction trailers
~„„ immediately upon completion of the project.
