Mini-storage facilities shall not be allowed in the Port Hadlock Rural Village Center ("RVC") and the rural commercial areas designated at the intersection of Irondale Road and State Route ("SR") 19, and the intersection of Ness' Corner Road and SR 19, in order to prevent land uses in those rural commercial areas which are, by their nature, inconsistent with the goal of developing urban sewer service for the future UGA. The use tables in Title 18 JCC shall be amended to show that whereas they may be allowed in other similarly-designated rural commercial areas in the county, mini-storage facilities are not allowed in the rural commercial areas found within the planning area for the lrondale and Hadlock UGA, SECTION 5.
