This proposal consists of site redevelopment for self -storage and a commercial building. The property is zoned 13-4 Mixed -Use Business. 'file applicant is proposing to reuse and expand the former Toys R US building for an indoor, climate controlled self -storage facility. fhey additionally propose to construct a second storage facility along the west property line and a restaurant building closest to Lorain Road. It may he either a single user or a multi -tenant building. The BZ,BA granted a use variance for the self -storage portion of this project, recognizing the challenge of repurposing large existing retail spaces. The Toys R Us building will be expanded by 30,000 square feet and have an entirely new facade. The public facing sides of the building are primarily masonry and brick veneer with stucco accents. Given the amount of metal on the secondary storage building, and overhead doors on the primary building, two of the three buildings do not meet code requirements for high quality materials. 'The most visible portions of the buildings to the public or patrons of the commercial sites are masonry. City Council may waive the 754% requirement. New landscaping is proposed along Lorain Road and along the entranceway from Dover Center Road. While the BZBA granted a variance for impervious surface, the applicant will increase green space over the current condition. Additionally. permeable pavers have been incorporated into the parking lot behind the commercial building. Sufficient parking is proposed for all uses and traffic generation is expected to be low. Also, the site is served by a traffic light plus entrances on two commercial roads. The lighting plan conforms to code.
