Two Rivers council approves conditional use permit for Columbus Street self‑storage

The Two Rivers City Council on Jan. 5 approved a conditional use permit to allow operation of self‑storage units on Columbus Street (Parcel No. 202‑201‑010‑9), following a public hearing that drew no public speakers.

The motion to approve, made by Councilmember Darla Leclair and seconded by Bill Leclair, followed staff comments that the plan commission had “detailed[ly] reviewed” the site plan and found it met zoning criteria, prompting a unanimous recommendation. Council conducted a roll‑call vote and the motion carried.

City staff opened the hearing and made three calls for comment; no residents spoke. Staff and the plan commission reviewed the site plan at a prior meeting and found it consistent with the Industrial District standards, according to the record presented at the hearing.

The vote concludes the council’s review and authorizes the plan commission’s recommended approval; no conditions beyond those discussed in the plan commission packet were recorded in the meeting minutes. The council moved on to other business following the vote.
