LEGISLATIVE MEMORANDUM


TO:


Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Patricia Smith, City Attorney
DATE:

12/7/2023
RE:

Consideration of a Final Order for denial of Resolution 2023-38, requesting a conditional use to allow for a self-storage facility in CC (Community Commercial District) zoning on property located south of and adjacent to Emerson Drive, in the vicinity east of St. Johns Heritage Parkway (3.57 acres) (Case CU23-00007, Ascot Palm Bay Holdings, LLC).
October 19, 2023 City Council considered an application for a conditional use to allow a self-storage facility in Community Commercial District zoning.  The subject property is a 3.57 acre parcel located south of and adjacent to Emerson Drive NW, in the vicinity east of St. Johns Heritage Parkway. The applicant indicated that the self-storage facility would likely employ 3 or 4 people. The City Council by a 3-1 vote, denied the application specifically citing inconsistency with the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan.  The denial in a quasi-judicial matter requires findings of fact and conclusions of law. I have submiited a proposed order for Council's approval.

REQUESTING DEPARTMENT:
City Attorney's Office

RECOMMENDATION:

Motion to adopt final order in Case CU23-00007.
