In 2003 the Zoning Advisory Committee met to consider proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code. In March, the Metropolitan Council approved the Portable on Demand Storage Unit Ordinance (PODS).

Entire UDC http://www.brgov.com/dept/planning/udcodeonline.asp

Chapter 9 of the UDC http://www.brgov.com/dept/planning/udc/pdf/chapter9.pdf

 

Section 9.4 “Portable Storage Containers” are permitted accessory uses in residential districts, subject to the following restrictions:

Section 9.401

Portable storage containers may only be placed in the front yard in a residential district up to three (3) times per year for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days, provided that at least seven (7) days have lapsed since the last fifteen (15) day period during which a PSC was located on the property.

Section 9.402

Portable storage containers may be placed in a residential district for up to thirty (30) days, provided that all building setback requirements are met.

Section 9.403

The building official may permit the placement of a portable storage container in a residential district for more than thirty (30) days, subject to building setback requirements, provided that the property owner has a valid building permit or had demonstrated that extenuating circumstances exist or building setbacks to justify the extension. Extenuation circumstances, shall include, but are not limited to, disaster such as hurricane, fire or flood.

 

I suggest (if you feel a POD condition is not meeting the UDC) a report of the condition should be filed by dialing 311 (and talking to a person) or online with the Citizens Request for Service
