FROM: CITY MhlqAGER~
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # /0'~- REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1998
ORDINANCE NO. 52-97 (SELF-SERVICE STORAGE FACILITIES)
DATE: JANUARY 2, 1998
This is second reading and the second public hearing for Ordinance
No. 52-97 which amends the Land Development Regulations with
respect to the regulation of Self-Service Storage Facilities
(SSSF). Self-storage facilities are not listed as a permitted or
conditional use in any zoning district in the City.
In October of 1996, the Planning and Zoning Board directed staff
to conduct a study as to whether or not self-storage facilities
should be permitted and how they might be regulated. Upon review
of the study, the Board initiated proposed LDR text amendments to
allow self-storage facilities as a conditional use in the Light
Industrial (LI) and Mixed Industrial and Commercial (MIC) zone
districts, and provide for performance standards to ensure quality
development. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the
proposed amendments at a public hearing on November 17, 1997, and
voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Ordinance No. 52-97 was considered on first reading by the City
Commission at a public hearing on December 2, 1997. After
discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to modify the
ordinance by expanding the hours of operation to 5:00 a.m. until
9:00 p.m., and also to clarify that no building on a site could
exceed 15 feet in height with the exception of the on-site
manager's apartment which could be located on a second floor. The
ordinance, as amended, was passed on first reading by unanimous
vote.
The changes directed by Commission have been incorporated into the
ordinance. The height exception for the manager's apartment is
clarified on page 2, Section 2 at (A) (2) (b). The hours of
operation are on page 3, subsection (5).
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 52-97 on second and final
reading.

SUBJECT: CI~ COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 2, 1997 L~R AMENDMENT
RE: THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRs) ESTABLISHING
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
OF SELF-SERVICE STOOGE FACILITIES
I ,, , ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION
The requested action of the Commission is the adoption of LDR amendments pertaining to the
regulation of Self-Service Storage Facilities (SSSF). The amendments affect the following
sections of the Land Development Regulations: 4.3.3, Specific Requirements for Special Uses;
4.4.19, Mixed Industrial & Commercial (MIC) District; 4.4.26, Light Industrial (LI) District; and
Appendix "A", DEFINITIONS.
The Planning and Zoning Board at its regular meeting in October 1996, voted to direct staff to
conduct a study as to whether or not self storage facilities should be permitted within the City, and
how they might be regulated. This study was presented to the Board at its Workshop Meeting of
June 9, 1997. At this meeting the Board directed staff to move forward with this item and create
proposed text changes to the City's LDRs which would allow self storage facilities as a conditional
use in the Light Industrial (LI), and Mixed Industrial & Commercial (MIC) zone districts, and
provide for several performance standards to ensure quality development.
At the present time, self storage facilities are not listed as a permitted or conditional use in any
zoning district in the City of Delray Beach. As a result of the proposed amendments self storage
facilities would be allowed, as a conditional use, in the Light Industrial (LI) and Mixed Industrial &
Commercial (MIC) zone districts. In addition to all regulations in the underlying zone district, sub-
section (A) of Section 4.3.3 lists specific performance standards for the development and
operation of such facilities.
Please see the attached staff report for the Planning & Zoning Board meeting of November 17,
1997, for additional background and analysis of the request.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Planning & Zoning Board considered the amendment at a public hearing on November 17,
1997. No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition to the changes. Without discussion,
the Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendments to the City Commission.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion approve the amendments to the LDRs, amending Sections 4.3.3, Specific
Requirements for Special Uses; 4.4.19, Mixed Industrial & Commercial (MIC) District; 4.4.26, Light
Industrial ('LI) District; and Appendix "A", DEFINITIONS.

AGENDA ITEM: V.E. AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS ESTABLISHING SELF-SERVICE STORAGE
FACILITIES (SSSF), AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL (LI), AND MIXED INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL
ZONE DISTRICTS.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation of to the City
Commission regarding amendments to LDR Sections Appendix A, providing a definition
of self-service storage facilities; Section 4.3.3, establishing specific requirements for
self-service storage facilities; and Sections 4.4.19 and 4.4.26 establishing self-service
storage facilities as a conditional use in the Light Industrial (LI) and Mixed Industrial &
Commercial (MIC) zone districts, respectively.

At the request of Michael S. Weiner, PA., the Planning and Zoning Board at its regular
meeting in October 1996, voted to direct staff to conduct a study as to whether or not
self storage facilities should be permitted within the City, and how they might be
regulated.
As a result, the attached report was presented to the Planning & Zoning Board at its
Workshop Meeting of June 9, 1997. At this meeting the Planning & Zoning Board
directed staff to move forward this item and create proposed text changes to the City's
Land Development Regulations which would allow self storage facilities as a conditional
use in the Light Industrial (LI), and Mixed Industrial & Commercial (MIC) zone districts,
and provide for several performance standards to ensure quality developments.
At the present time, self storage facilities are not listed as a permitted or conditional use
in any zoning districts in the City of Delray Beach. They could however, possibly be
accommodated through a "Special Activities District", which would require a separate
rezoning for each facility. The SAD would have to be consistent with the Future Land
Use Map designation, which would probably be Commerce or Industrial.
V.E.
P&Z Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Amendment RE: Self-Service Storage Facilities
Page 2
In order to implement the changes recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board, the
following sections of the LDRs would be amended:
I. Appendix "A"- Definitions
II. Section 4.3.3 - Special Requirements for Specific Uses
III. Section 4.4.19(D), Mixed Industrial & Commercial Zone District, Conditional Uses &
Structures Allowed
IV. Section 4.4.26(D), Light Industrial Zone District, Conditional Uses & Structures
Allowed
The complete list of text changes can be found on an attached sheet, the following is
brief summary of those changes.
Appendix "A " - Definitions
In order to propedy regulate self-service storage facilities, it is necessary to create a
clear definition of this use. Because of their close association with warehouses (their
primary functions both being storage), and because many SSSFs refer to themselves
as "mini-warehouses", they are often confused with traditional warehouse type uses.
The use of the term "self-service storage facility" (SSSF), is the chosen industry
standard because it emphasizes self-service, the main aspect which separates them
from warehouses. Most municipalities which define self storage facilities refer to them
as such.
Providing a specific definition of what is a SSSF, will also help to eliminate any
ambiguity which currently exists in the code regarding the use.
Section 4.3.3 - Special Requirements for Specific Uses
Because of the unique nature of self-service storage facilities, the Board felt the current
code would not adequately address several areas of concern which they had with the
development of such a facility. In order to address these concems, Section 4.3.3 would
be modified to provide a new sub-section setting forth specific standards for the
development of self-service storage facilities.
The following is a brief summary of the proposed standards, and rationale for their
inclusion.
Lot Are~
Although the need for SSSFs is evident, there was concern that the City could be
inundated with facilities. A minimum site size of two acres will guard against the
P&Z Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Amendment RE: Self-Service Storage Facilities
Page 3
proliferation of numerous small facilities, and also prevent the conversion of existing
small warehouses into SSSFs.
The maximum site size of five (5) acres will prevent the development of "mega"
facilities, which the board felt would not be an appropriate land use.
Facilities and Requirements
This section, in part, addresses the Boards' concems with the aesthetics of SSSFs.
Based upon the development history of self-service storage facilities, aesthetics was
apparently not always a concern. Examples of $SSFs which are nothing more than
rows of Iow flat buildings with a repetitious arrangement of garage doors, completely
visible from the adjacent right-of-way, are not uncommon.
The objective of this function is take this negative aspect of a SSSFs, and intemalize it,
thus eliminating unappealing "sight lines" commonly associated with these structures.
Most modern SSSFs are designed to be more appealing in this respect, but not always
to this degree. This higher standard will help to insure quality self storage
developments.
Parking
Again, because of the unique nature of SSSFs, the application of current parking
requirements is not practical. The current parking requirements for industrial areas with
respect to storage is 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area. A SSSF facility of up
to 50,000 square feet generates approximately 20 trips per day (1997 Self Storage
Almanac), but would be required to provide 50 spaces. Thus the requirement 1 space
per 5,000 square feet of floor area is more applicable. This requirement can be
modified up or down during the site plan process.
Limitation of Uses
Historically this has been a problem with SSSFs. When unscrupulous managers allow
businesses such as auto repair or cabinet making to operate out of the storage bays,
problems such as noise, odor and parking are the result.
The situation can be further complicated when the zoning code does not formally
recognize SSSFs as a specific use, creating a "gray" area and making code
enforcement very difficult.
The purpose of this section is to emphasize that pdmary use is storage. It also cleady
defines what is, and what is not allowed to occur within a self-service storage facility,
and in so doing, eliminates any ambiguity.
P&Z Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Amendment RE: Self-Service Storage Facilities
Page 4
On-Site Manager Required
This requirement is based on the need to provide an on-site manager to help enforce
the regulations regarding the use of the bays for storage only.
Hours of Operation
This section addresses the concem of having 24 hour "all-night" access to facilities.
This can create security problems in industrial or warehouse type areas, which normally
do not operate during late night hours. In addition, there was concern that if a SSSF
was close to, but not necessarily adjacent with residential neighborhoods, vehicular
traffic in early or late hours could impact the character of these areas.
Landscape Requirements
This section again emphasizes the aesthetic concerns of SSSFs, by applying a
landscape requirement above and beyond those required by section 4.6.16.
Outdoor Storage of Vehicles and Boats
This section allows the outdoor storage of vehicles and boats, if specifically addressed
in the site plan approval process. The Board felt this would a positive aspect of this
use, as would help alleviate the problem of outdoor storage of these items in residential
neighborhoods.
Truck Rental
This section allows the use of truck rentals (such as U-Haul and Ryder Trucks) to be
included within a SSSF as an ancillary use, subject to conditions regarding its location
within the facility. This use is included due to a recent trend to combine truck rentals
with self storage facilities. This arrangement will allow the use to be directed to an area
where it will not have a negative visual impact on adjacent uses.
Section 4.4. l g(D), Mixed Industrial & Commercial Zone District, Conditional Uses
& Structures Allowed
and
Section 4.4.26(D), Light Industrial Zone District, Conditional Uses & Structures
Allowed
The changes to these two sections establish self-service storage facilities as
"Conditional Uses", in the Mixed industrial & Commercial (MIC) and the Light Industrial
(LI) zone districts. It is felt that the use is appropriate in the LI district because it is a
P&Z Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Amendment RE: Self-Service Storage Facilities
Page 5
clean, quiet use that will not be detrimental to wellfield zones or to adjacent
neighborhoods (which are proximate to the main LI zone on S.W. 10th Street.
It is also considered to be an appropriate use in the MIC district, which allows numerous
uses (including wholesale, storage & distribution) of varying degrees of intensity.
The use is not proposed for inclusion in the Industrial (I) zone district due to the limited
amount of industrial zoned land remaining in the City. The Industrial zone district is
reserved for more intense uses which cannot be accommodated elsewhere in the City.
One of the more negative aspects of SSSFs is that they use valuable industrial land,
but provide limited economic benefits to the community, especially with regard to job
creation. It is not inappropriate to limit their use as provided by this ordinance.
In addition, the Industrial districts are more remote from residential neighborhoods than
either the MIC or LI zones. As 70% of SSSF customers are typically residential as
opposed to business, it makes sense to direct them to the more convenient locations.
By motion, recommend that the City Commission approve amendments to the LDRs,
adding Section 4.3.3 (^), Self-Service Storage Facilities, and amending Sections
4.4.19, Mixed Industrial & Commercial (MIC), and Section 4.4.26, Light Industrial (LI),
and Appendix A - Definitions; as provided in the attachment.
