REQUEST: The Community Development Department-Code Enforcemf:nt Division
requests the City Commission consider information regarding P.G.D.S., portable on
demand storage units.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission consider
information Regarding P.O.D.S., portable on demand storage units.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
P.O.D.S. are portable storage units of varying size with signage that are delivered to a
residential or commercial lot, placed in the yard or driveway and either removed to a separate
facility or left for an indeterminate period of time at the site. Currently, the building division
does not regulate these portable structures. Our current code restricts other accessory structures
to rear yards, with setbacks, installation requirements such as tie-downs, and building permits.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Staff has received numerous complaints regarding the placement of these units in residential
areas of the city. Staff is researching comparable regulations of other cities and counties and will
bring back its findings to the City Commission for direction.
COMMISSION ACTION:
