MEMORANDUM
To: The Committee of the Whole
From: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director

Re: Proposed Code Amendments relating to auto rentals and self storage facilities.
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Steve Lancaster, Director
A public hearing has been scheduled for the proposed amendments to the zoning code related to
auto rentals and self storage facilities.
The Planning Commission has recommended that companies renting vehicles not requiring a
commercial driver's license be allowed in those zones where the sales of automobiles,
recreational vehicles, travel trailers and used cars are currently allowed (i.e., RC, RCM, TUC,
C/LI, LI, HI and TVS). They also wanted to include the MIC/L and MIC/H zones in this group.
The Planning Commission also recommended that commercial truck and fleet rentals requiring a
commercial driver's license be allowed in those zones where sales and rental of heavy machinery
and equipment are currently allowed (i.e., C/LI, LI, HI, MIC/L, MIC/H and TVS).
On self storage facilities, the Planning Commission recommended adding a definition of self
storage facilities and allowing these facilities in RC, RCM, TUC, C/LI, LI, HI, MIC/L, MIC/H,
and TVS zones.
