~ AGENDA ITEM: Proposed ordinance to amend zoning regulations related to
temporary storage structures such as "PODS"
~.,, SUBMITTED SY: Sonya Doerr, AICP 51~,.,~
Community Development Director
E,,.,, DATE: August 19, 2002
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.
F 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
q 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
e ~ 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.
