Mini Self -Storage Facilities Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Peacock questioned traffic flow and suggested they primarily be kept in industrial areas. Staff explained traffic is a factor that would be evaluated. Mr. Grochala stated that the City is trying to create property tax value. The fully enclosed structure would be appropriate for light industrial districts. They have an opportunity for higher value products and are adjacent to where people have put a greater investment into their buildings. Mini multi -storage buildings may be best in general industrial districts. The goal is to find the best places for storage facilities knowing they are not going to create a lot of tax value. Board members suggested placing multi -unit storage in general industrial areas due to fiscal and aesthetics reasons. An indoor storage building looks like any other business and could be located in light industrial or commercial districts. Mr. Evenson questioned regulations regarding the number of buildings allowed on site due to location in an industrial zone. Ms. Larsen responded that regulation is based on hard cover; this wouldn't limit the number of buildings but would be self- regulating. Chair Tralle stated that he observed little car traffic at a storage facility in Columbus. He is in favor of self-contained bigger box storage. Mr. Laden asked about the valuation of the self-contained storage buildings. Mr. Grochala stated that he predicts that the bigger box interior storage units have a higher per square feet value to them. DRAFT MINUTES
