PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
SPECIAL MEETING
January 2, 2008
The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Anna held a special meeting on Wednesday,
January 2, 2008, at 7:00 p.m., at the Community Room of Anna City Hall Administration Building,
located at 111 North Powell Parkway (Hwy 5), to consider the following items.
1. Call to order and establishment of quorum.
Chairman Jon Hendricks called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m. Members present were
Jon Hendricks, Darren Driskell, William Ballantyne, Mike Green, J. W. Finley and Keith
Green as the City Council Liaison.
Commission members Nancy Pennington and Jeff Caponera were absent.
2. Public Hearing:
To consider public comment on a request by Sandra Bryant, representing Windmill
Storage, to change the zoning on a 6.22 acre tract (Lot 2, Block A, AutoZone
Addition) located at 1229 West White Street (FM 455). The tract is currently zoned as
Agriculture ("AG") and the owner is requesting Restricted Commercial ("C-1") on
tract one, consisting of 1.70 acres and Planned Development District ("PD") zoning
on tract two, consisting of 4.52 acres, to specifically allow mini -storage facilities and
outside storage facilities for boats and recreational vehicles.
The public hearing was opened at 7:06 p.m.
Sandra Bryant, representative for Windmill Storage, gave presentation and answered
questions from the Commission regarding the zoning request.
Maurice Schwanke stated that the proposed mini -storage use is not a "C2" use. "Light
Industrial" zoning is the first district which allows mini storages and may not be the kind of
land use we want along our main entry way into the City. During the application process it
was explained to Ms. Bryant, that if you were going to seek "Lf' uses, the only way that it
could happen would be to apply for a 'PD" and restrict the use to mini -storage and "C-1"
uses and not allow any other "Ll" (light industrial) uses. Mini storage is a non sales tax
generating use along one of your primary commercial corridors. The staff recommendation
would be to keep the use as a legal non -conforming with "C-1" as the appropriate zoning
throughout the tract.
Chairman Hendricks noted that there are lots of things that do not generate sales tax
revenue but yet they serve a purpose and having a storage facility does serve a purpose for
the people of the community.
The public was closed at 7:53 p.m.

as Lot 2, Block A, AutoZone Addition, to Restricted Commercial ("C-1") on tract one
and Planned Development on tract two to allow mini -storage facilities and outside
storage facilities for boats and recreational vehicles.
After a lengthy discussion, a motion was made by William Ballantyne to recommend to
Council approval of Tract 1 with Restricted Commercial ("C-1") and Tract 2 as a Planned
Development ("PD") with "Cl" uses and additional standards as follow:
1) mini -storage with no outside storage.
2) perimeter of existing building to be masonry along with all new building and
fences.
3) building setback 10 If from property line with no fences. Rear of buildings will be
masonry and serve as border without creating a dead space between a masonry
fence and a masonry building.
