On May 14, 2002, Council approved S-1198 lbr Assured Self-
Storage, rezoning the property from LI to LI-SUP-1198 (Light
Industrial Special Use Permit 1198) allowing an approximate 64,000
square-foot mini-warehouse with on-premise residential use. In
October of that same year, Council approved an amendment to the
SUP, allowing an expansion to 75,000-square feet, conversion of
two buildings to climate control, elimination of a second point of
ingress off Beltline Road, and shifting of building footprints, which

increased lot coverage from 31% to 35%, still within zoning
requirements.
The tract has been reclaimed from the surrounding floodplain,
platted, and developed with the above-described use.
TRANSPORTATION:
East Belt Line Road is a P6D six-lane divided major thoroughfare
built within a 120' wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Railroad and vacant; A (Agriculture) and LI (Light Industrial)
South -Vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
East - Vacant; LI (Light Industrial) and A (Agriculture)
West - Vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/sho~vroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
Having recently completed building the mini-warehouses, the owner of the
property feels additional signage is needed to properly advertise his
business. To that end, he has hired an area sign company to propose
additional signage. The sign company has made considerable progress
from its original submission of too many, too large and inappropriately
colored signs. Size, number, and location of signs now conform to the
Zoning Ordinance. The resubmitted colors also conform.
What is being proposed is signage on three sides of the project. Two signs
are proposed for the office/caretakers quarters on the north end of the
property. One sign will advertise "Assured Self Storage" in brown in an arc
over the main entrance. The other simply states "office" in white. Both
signs conform to our sign guidelines relative to size, square footage and
color. 'fhe next sign appears on the east side of the warehouse building in a
lighted raceway and states the name of the business in white. The final
sign, on the west side of the office/caretakers building, is also in a lighted
raceway and, again, states the name in white letters to further advertise the
business. That sign needs to be reduced from 48- to 28.5-square feet.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNiNG AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1198R2 Assured Self-Storage,
subject to:
