Steve Koper, Planning Manager, made the following comments:  Requesting a comprehensive plan / zoning map amendment  Showed the vicinity map of the site  8.1 acres located on the SW corner of Sunnyside Rd and 169th  Showed existing and proposed zoning maps  The surrounding area makes the zone change appropriate and well supported  Showed a conceptual plan of the self-storage building with climate control this concept is internal as opposed to other self-storage developments.  Showed the proposed LDC text amendment for this application – the text amendments limit it to this specific site only – it is very defined  Compared the existing CCC zoning against the proposed MCC zoning for trip counts – this change would lover the number of trips  Staff recommends approval  The limitation of the zone is 6  Commissioner King asked why is the text specific to this site o The property was first zoned with the EHVCP and then rezoned to the current CCC – with the poor site visibility and the right in-right out limitation the zoning isn’t feasible to CCC  No additional correspondence were received

AKS Engineering – Joey Sheer 12965 SW Herman Rd #100 Tualatin, OR 97062

Mr. Sheer gave the following comments:  Thanked staff for their assistance and hard work on this application  Agree with the findings and conditions of the staff report  Three property owners have come together for maximizing the properties totaling over eight acres  The site faces physical constraints with slopes, creeks and conservation easements  There is limited access and visibility with the usable frontage short and close to the intersection  The zone change is from CCC to MCC  The MCC zoning added flexibility to help mitigate some of the challenges of the site and help allow buildability of the site  Applicant supports the clarification to the text made by staff  The site would unlikely be able to accommodate the onsite parking that other uses would require due to low trip generation  This will allow for an upscale self-storage building ideally suited for this site and brings another business to the city  This is a needed service for both businesses and residents  This site would have low traffic use, doesn’t drain emergency services and would build part of the Scouters Mtn regional trail connection  Agree with the staff and finding and request recommendation of approval to the City Council

Mr. Schroedl made the following comments:  Is in favor of this development  Is concerned about the safe access to school and sidewalks  Will this be an ADA public sidewalk

Richard Dent 13245 SE 169th Happy Valley, OR 97086

Mr. Dent made the following comments:  Live on the corner of 169th and Sunnyside Rd  If he were to develop his property would his access be affected with this zone change o Steve Koper stated that this application would not affect his current access – if he were to develop his property he would be required to close the current access and take access thru the site – would have to relocate his current access  Would he be able to withdraw his application before the city council were to approve it o Yes, you can withdraw your application any time prior to a city council approval

AKS Engineering – Joey Sheer 12965 SW Herman Rd #100 Tualatin, OR 97062

Mr. Sheer made the following comments:  There is currently and existing sidewalk on Sunnyside Rd – once a specific development is started then sidewalks would be defined and required to meet city requirements  169th is a private road and would have improvements and ADA sidewalks  The existing access to 169th isn’t affected by the zone change – it would be defined by any future development  Not sure what the developer has for future plans on this site  It is an asset to the city to have the Mt Scott Regional Trail built
