Applicants
City of Baytown
Background
The City Council adopted a new Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) on September 12, 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2025. During the public hearing and approval processes staff informed Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council that there would be additional "clean-up" amendments forthcoming as staff had more time to review and test the code. Staff is proposing to add storage containers as an accessory structure; and primary structure when the storage container is consistent with the character of the block and adjacent block, subject to applicable building codes and wind design standards adopted by the City of Baytown. Storage containers shall comply with the maximum height, all setback and distance requirements within the applicable zoning district. Storage containers may not be stacked on one another in a commercial or residential zoning district.
