Dale Magisterial District
East line of Iron Bridge Road
REQUEST: Amendment to Conditional Use Planned Development (Case 85S154) relative to
signs. Specifically, the applicm~t ~Sshes to delete Condition 8 which requires the
removal of an outdoor advertising sign on an adjacent property to the north ("Primm
Property") prior to the release of occupancy permits on the subject parcels.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
A self storage facility is proposed. In addition, other uses as permitted in the General
Business (C-5) District are allowed.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION ON PAGE 2.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval for the following reasons:
With the approval of Case 85S154, it was anticipated that access to the subject
property would be through a portion of the adjacent parcel to the north (fon2erly
known as the "Primm Property"), on which the outdoor advertising sign is located.
The relocation of this access no longer necessitates the incorporation of this northern
parcel into the development of the subject property.
Providing a FIRST CHOICE Community Through Excellence in Public Service.
With approval of this amendment, Condition 8 of Case 85S154 will continue to
remain in effect for the development of a portion of the adjacent northern parcel
("Primm Property"), thereby requiring the removal of the outdoor advertising sign
prior to the release of occupancy permits on development that incorporates the
portion of that parcel affected by Case 85S 154.
(NOTE: CONDITIONS MAY BE IMPOSED OR THE PROPERTY O~WER MAY PROFFER
CONDITIONS. THE CONDITIONS NOTED WITH "STAFF/CPC" WERE AGREED UPON BY
BOTH STAFF AND THE COMMISSION. CONDITIONS WITH ONLY A "STAFF" ARE
RECOMMENDED SOLELY BY STAFF. CONDITIONS WITH ONLY A "CPC" ARE
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.)

(CPC)
Prior to release ora building pennit, the outdoor advertising sign located on Tax ID

UTILITIES; ENVIRONMENTAL; AND PUBLIC FACILITIES

LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Central Area Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for community mixed use.
Area Development Trends:
Properties along the east and west lines of Iron Bridge Road are characterized by a mix of
commercial, industrial and agricultural uses or remain vacant. It is anticipated that properties
along the east line of Iron Bridge Road at Kingsland Road will develop for commercial uses
as currently zoned, while properties located on the west line of Iron Bridge Road will
experience light industrial development, as suggested by the Plan.
Zoning History:
On October 24, 1984, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved rezoning from Agricultural (A) to General Business (B-3)
of 4.5 acres plus Conditional Use Planned Development to permit bulk exceptions on a total
of nine (9) acres (Case 84S 162). Conditions required that access to the property be directly
from Iron Bridge Road until such time as the adjacent property to the south developed for
commercial or industrial uses, then access would be permitted from a fifty' (50) foot easement
running from Iron Bridge Road along the southern property line.
On June 26, 1985, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved an mnendment to Case 84S162 relative to access (Case
85S067). Specifically, access to the site could either be provided directly from Route 10 or
from the easement located along the southern line of the property.
3 02SN0285-SEPT18-BOS
On January 22, I986, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved amendments to Cases 84S162 and 85S067 relative to
access, setbacks, screening of storage yard and buffers (Case 85S154). Specifically, due to
legal questions regarding the right to construct a public road access within the fifty (50)
easement along the southern property line, the applicants requested that the property access
be relocated from the southern to the northern boundary. To accommodate this access, the
applicant included a portion of the adjacent northern property (Tax ID 772-673-3836:
"Primm Property"). This northern portion contained an outdoor advertising sign. With
approval of this request, the Board required that, prior to the release of any occupancy
permits for the entire subject property, the billboard would be removed from the "Primm
Property." This case permitted site access along the northern boundary, as well as
maintained access options approved with Case 85S067, which included direct access to
Route 10 or from the southern property boundary.
Site Design:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Area. Development of the site must
confom~ to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and conditions of Cases 84S162,
85S067 and 85S 154 which address access, parking, landscaping, architectural treatment,
setbacks, Signs, buffers, utilities and screening of dumpsters and loading areas.
As previously noted, a site plan is currently under County review for a portion of the subject
property which depicts access to this project from a right of way located along the southern
property boundary. (Case 02PR0287 - Iron Bridge Self Storage at Quaiff Lane)
CONCLUSIONS
With the approval of Case 85S154, it was anticipated tbat access to the subject property would be
through a portion of the adjacent parcel to the north ("Primm Property"), on which the outdoor
advertising sign is located. Access to the subject property is now proposed from a right of way to the
south, no longer necessitating the incorporation of this northern parcel into the development of the
subject property. Hence, the subject property and the "Primm Property" will be developed as two (2)
separate projects. With approval of this amendment, Condition 8 of Case 85S154 will continue to
remain in effect for the development on a portion of the "Primm Property," thereby requiring the
removal of the outdoor advertising sign prior to the release of occupancy permits for development
incorporating the affected portion of the parcel.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.

CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (8/20/02):
The applicant accepted staff's recommendation, but did not the Commission's
recommendation. There was no opposition present.
Mr. Litton noted that the affect of this amendment was to relieve the applicant of the
requirement to remove the outdoor advertising sign and to place that responsibility upon the
adjacent property owner to the north on whose property the sign is located. Further, should
development of this adjacent property to the north exclude the portion affected by Case
85S 154, the sign could remain indefinitely.
Mr. Litton therefore indicated that he felt it inappropriate to relieve the applicant from the
requirement to remove the sign to accommodate development on the request property and
further felt the original condition should be eanended to require the sign to be removed prior
to release of a building permit, as opposed to the current condition which requires removal
prior to release of an occupancy permit.
On motion of Mr. Litton, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Commission recommended approval
of this request subject to the condition on page 2.
AYES: Unanimous.
The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, September 18, 2002, beginning at 7:00 p.m., will take
under consideration this request.
