…body
EXPLANATION: Wellington’s LDR currently indicates that self-storage use is not permitted within a Commercial land use and MUPD zoning. The applicant is seeking approval of a self-storage on the Iorizzo project, which has a Commercial land use and MUPD zoning. In order to consider this request, the applicant is first requesting Wellington amend the LDR to allow self-storage as a Conditional Use. Properties within Wellington’s MUPD zoning districts are along or are within the State Road 7 corridor.
Exhibit A of the staff report provides the proposed modifications in underline and strikethrough format. The final version of the text amendment is provided in Ordinance No. 2023-06 Exhibit A.
The applicant is also seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA FLUM), Master Plan Amendment (MPA), and Conditional Use (CU) for the proposed self-storage at the Iorizzo project with the companion applications.
At the January 18, 2023 Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board (PZAB) meeting, the Board recommended approval (7-0 vote) of the applicant’s ZTA/CPA/MPA/CU request per staff recommendations as stated in the staff report.
On February 21, 2023, Council approved (5-0 vote) the first reading of the ZTA and CPA. The combined staff report for the applicant’s ZTA/CPA/MPA/CU, along with the supporting exhibits are provided for explanation/reference of the overall request.
