Background/Staff Comments
Based on two presentations to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and Franklin Municipal Planning Commission Members, a draft Ordinance has been prepared regarding self-storage uses within commercially zoned districts. The changes proposed would:
1. Allow self-storage as a use in General Commercial (GC) and Specific Development Variety (SD-X) zoned properties.
2. Clarify language regarding visibility of storage unit doors.
3. Establish a threshold for an internal mix of ground-floor commercial uses along major commercial and mixed-use corridors within the City.
