2. Perimeter landscaping of off-street parking must meet City requirements.
3. Monument sign must meet setback requirements.
4. Sidewalks must be added/maintained.
Millinneum Storage, LLC, is requesting a specific use permit for a self-storage facility.
The zoning allows for this kind of use with a specific use permit. The property is located
th
at 1501 N. 7 Street. A truck rental business would also be administered from this
location.
The applicants propose to revitalize the existing commercial building with many
improvements including, but not limited to, the roof and façade. Phase I would
incorporate the front 2 buildings and provide 350-400 storage units. Once this phase
reaches 70% lease-out, Phase II will build-out the 2 rear buildings for additional units/
rental space. Parking and utilities exist on the site to handle expected demand and has met
the requirements of the City. Landscaping will be added to enhance the property.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of
submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
