Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0821-0215, submitted by Amerco Real Estate Company (U-Haul), for a change of zoning from Commercial to Planned Development - Commercial to allow self-storage, moving truck rental, and a warehouse facility, located at 2300 Gross Road.
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the application.)
Body
The Texas Department of Transportation assumed ownership of the U-Haul facility located on the north side of U.S. Highway 80 at Gross Road for future widening of the highway. Subsequently, U-Haul purchased the land directly across Highway 80 from its previous location to build a new facility.
The applicant proposes to construct a five-story, climate controlled, self-storage building, a single-story warehouse building for storage of U-Haul’s “U-Box” services, and to provide U-Haul truck and trailer rental. U-Box is a service where pods can be loaded by customers at their homes, then U-Haul picks up the pods and stores them in the warehouse until the customers are ready for them to be delivered.
On December 11, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve a change of zoning from Commercial to Planned Development - Commercial to allow self-storage, moving truck rental, and a warehouse facility.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
