Meeting Minutes
August 21, 2019
Mr. Hermansen, Applicant, gave a presentation and explained that the property is in the
Industrial area,the increased demand for parking facilities due to cruise ship activity at the Port,
design of the parking facility to include a covered walkway and the hours of operation starting

and drainage) to accommodate any future southern extension of Columbia Road
through the subject parcel.
2) The applicant, at his cost, shall relocate any site improvements to accommodate legal
use by adjacent property owners of the 20' Ingress/Egress Public Utility & drainage
Easement located in the northwest portion of the property.
3. Quasi-Judicial and/or Public Hearing: Consideration and Recommendation Re:
Ordinance No. XX-2019 to establish mini-storage as a Special Exception use in the C-2
zoning district—Ronald Abeles, Applicant.
Staff presented report/photos and explained that the item was before the Board for discussion of
the City's policy regarding mini-warehousing. Mr. Dickey stated that mini-warehousing is
currently allowed in the M-1 zoning district. Current facilities located in the C-2 zone are non-
conforming due to zoning restrictions. Redevelopment could occur and a new definition of"self-
service storage facility" would be enacted if the proposed ordinance were recommended for
approval.
Ron Abeles, Applicant, and Joe Kovac, a real estate broker, spoke in favor of the ordinance.
Chairperson Zuercher requested that a letter by Melissa Bass, an absent board member be added
into the record and read the last paragraph of the first page.
Discussion ensued to include the need for the Special Exception, the content of Mrs. Bass' letter
and clarification of the zones.
Motion by Mr. Russell and seconded by Mr. Pearson to recommend approval to City Council.
Vote on the motion carried unanimously.
