(A) Telecommunications structures, subject to Article XII.

(B) Indoor Firing Ranges. Any firing range must be located entirely inside a structure, and the structure must be sound-proofed such that no sound of the discharge of firearms is discernable at the property line. The structure must be designed and constructed with sufficient precautions to prevent stray bullets from escaping. This provision shall not apply to property owned by the County or property owned entities exempt from county zoning including the U.S. Government, a municipality within the County, or an entity regulated by the Georgia Public Service Commission (i.e., a public utility).

(C) Storage Facilities. "Storage facilities" shall mean mini-warehouses and storage yards, including building materials, timber and lumber, and shall include storage yards for boats, RVs, and self-service storage facilities. Commercial vehicle parking, including tractor-trailer parking, where there is no primary structure and parking is the primary use of the lot, is also classified as a storage facility.

Self-service storage facility is defined as a fully enclosed facility containing independent bays, which are leased to individuals exclusively for storage of goods or personal property. In addition to standard commercial buffers, a 40 foot landscaped strip fronting the right-of-way shall be required. If abutting a commercial or industrial zoned property, the property shall include a 20 foot landscaped strip in the side and rear lot. All landscape strips shall have one tree planted every 20 feet, at least 5-foot tall at time of planting. If abutting residential districts, the 50-foot buffer still applies and shall remain undisturbed, in addition to a six-foot fence to be installed at the buffer. Buildings may only take up 30 percent of the ground area of the lot.

When filing for the Conditional Use Permit, the applicant shall submit a site plan showing all standard buffers and proposed landscaping, including types of trees to be used. The Planning Commission or County Commissioner may condition the application to increase buffers, setbacks, landscaping or other items. Existing Storage Facilities are made nonconforming by this provision and therefore shall need to file a conditional use application to expand.
