Title

Use Permit Application by MCG VA Sears, LLC, to Permit a Storage Facility 2 at 5112 West Mercury Blvd [LRSN:3002532]

 

Body

BRIEF BACKGROUND STATEMENT: 

A request for a use permit to operate a storage facility 2 at 5112 West Mercury Boulevard. The property is zoned Limited Commercial (C-2) District, which allows a storage facility 2, with an approved use permit. The applicant is proposing a two-story, 90,000 square foot indoor storage facility by reusing the western portion of the former Sears building. This facility is proposed to have 550 units. In 2020, City Council previously approved a use permit to operate an indoor storage facility in the eastern portion of the former Sears building. The applicant is proposing to reserve a minimum of 30% of the first floor for other uses permitted in the C-2 district, such as office or retail. This reservation of space would allow the street-facing portion of the first floor to have active uses.

 

The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends business/industrial land use for the subject site. This portion of West Mercury Boulevard is identified as a business corridor.

 

This application was deferred at the July 16th and August 18th Planning Commission public hearing.
