Box 329 Gloucester, Virginia 23061 Phone (804) 693-1224Fax (804) 693-7037M E M O R A N D U M TO:Members of the Board of SupervisorsCC:Ted Wilmot, County Attorney Brenda Garton, County AdministratorFROM:Anne Ducey-Ortiz, Director of Planning & ZoningDATE:January 6, 2014SUBJECT:Proposed Code Amendment and Public Hearing Notice for CA-13-02Ordinance regarding the use containers and temporary family health care structuresThe Planning Commission is recommending modifications to the zoning ordinance to allow for various portable containers to be used in the County. The current code does not address the use of various portable containers and cargo containers and, therefore, under the zoning ordinance, Section 14-21, In any district, uses not specifically permitted shall not be allowed. The use of cargo containers has been observed in many locations in the County and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Developments Board of Housing and Community Development is considering exempting them from the Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) if they are used solely for storage. Therefore, staff requested that the Planning Commission address this use and provide a recommendation to the Board regarding the use of cargo containers in the zoning ordinance. The commission is also recommending revisions to the zoning ordinance to comply with the State Code for temporary family health care structures. The Planning Commission established a subcommittee to work on recommendations to address the use of cargo containers as structures. The subcommittees recommendation was based on examples of ordinances from other localities and recommended restricting the use of these containers to only industrial and agricultural districts. However, after listening to the discussion from the commission members, as well as talking to other members of the staff and the community at large, the recommendations were changed to allow them in all districts under certain conditions. Containers are commonly used in a variety of applications and, as the topic was discussed internally and externally, it was clear that there are many such containers currently being used throughout the County with few, if any, complaints. By defining a freight container, used for storage only and not modified in any way, as a type of accessory structure, it can be regulated the same way other accessory structures are regulated. Page 134-1- 10. The following is a summary of the proposed ordinance which, after much deliberation, has been recommended by the Planning Commission for adoption. Temporary family health care structures (also known as medi-cottages) are defined based on state code definitions and permitted as required by state code.Temporary portable waste collection containers and temporary portable storage containers are defined and included with other temporary facilities under Supplemental District Regulations - Sec. 9-3 of the Zoning Ordinance. The temporary use (30 days) of storage containers is exempt from a permit - the use can be extended with approval from the Zoning Administrator.Freight containers, shipping containers and other similar containers are defined and their use categorized four ways - first, based on their actual purpose for multimodal shipment and the ordinance already addresses where the storage of these containers would be permitted in the I-1 Industrial District (truck and freight terminal).Based on review of other localities ordinances and discussion with other staff, a section was included regarding allowing freight containers to be temporarily stored in association with a legally permitted use - such as Wal-Mart or Canon. A three (3) month time period was established based on Chesapeakes ordinance. Like other time-based sections of the ordinance, the time period provides a basis for addressing violations if they become a problem. Without a permit, there is no way to actually know how long a container has been stored on a property. However, if staff receives a complaint about a container being an eye-sore and being used in a manner not prescribed in the ordinance, the complaint can be processed using this code section.The ordinance proposes the use of freight containers, for storage only, to be permitted as an accessory structure (which is defined in the zoning ordinance and relates to the principal use of the site 1). In addition to those conditions proposed under this subsection, a freight container used as a storage structure would have to comply with all other sections of the zoning ordinance, including setbacks and allowable uses. It would have to comply with the architectural standards of the Highway Corridor Overlay District and would not be permitted to be visible to any district zoned for agricultural, residential, or office use, or would [be] visible from any public right-of-way since a freight container would be considered to consist of architectural materials inferior in quality, appearance, or detail to any other exterior of the same building.Based on a suggestion from the Commission, the number of Cargo Containers permitted on residential lots was based on lot size instead of zoning district. A sliding scale was used with a maximum of five (5) containers on any residential lot. No limit is provided for agricultural, commercial or industrial districts, but the placement on the property must comply with all other sections of the county code as would any accessory structures (setbacks, HCOD, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance, etc.).1Accessory use or structure: A use or structure on the same lot or on a contiguous lot, in the same ownership, and of a nature customarily incidental and subordinate to, the principal structure and operated and maintained for the benefit or convenience of the owners, occupants, employees, customers, or visitors of the zoning lot with the principal use.Page 135-2- 11. The temporary use of freight containers for storage during construction was included in the ordinance. Removal would be upon completion of construction and prior to the Certificate of Occupancy.Any modification and/or use of freight containers other than as permitted above are prohibited unless it meets Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC). So, the exemptions for an accessory structure are only for unmodified storage containers no electric, no additions, not used as an office or for habitation, etc. If someone wanted to convert a storage container into a building for a use other than storage through modifications and additions, such a building would have to comply with the building code and be certified by an engineer for the use proposed.The proposed amendments are consistent with several goals in the Gloucester Countys Comprehensive Plan, including: upgrading regulations as growth and development patterns warrant; promoting high quality of standards of residential housing and sound housing for all residents (medi-cottages), encouraging efficient and attractive commercial development to provide convenient access to goods and services (containers not visible from any public right of way), increasing the number of local jobs for County residents, and broadening the economic base of the County (allowing more uses); encouraging housing of various types by considering revisions to the land development and construction codes to reflect new techniques and innovations in order to facilitate housing development rehabilitation and construction (use of containers during construction); and encouraging quality by regulating the design of industrial areas to promote and retain high standards of community appearance (not visible from the right of way). The proposed ordinance is meant to allow for flexibility and the ability to use ones property while protecting the concerns of how such uses may impact property values and the Countys commercial corridors. As containers become more available and inexpensive, it is anticipated that they will be more widely used throughout the county. With the adoption of an ordinance to address their use, the County will be in a better position to accommodate this use without negatively impacting existing property values. The Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on January 2, 2014. No one spoke in favor or against. We received one email questioning the use of medi-cottages. The Commission voted unanimously to send the ordinance to the Board with a recommendation for approval with the following vote: Name Lawrence Dame, Chair LTC. Thomas H.
