FILE: PZ2021 - 101 STAFF REPORT Fetal Patel is requesting a Specific Use Permit for a self -storage facility at 1930 College Street. The staff in the hotel office will be available 24 hours a day to assist clients. These units will not be connected to any utilities. The applicant states, however, that access to the units would be limited to certain unspecified hours to reduce the potential for nuisance to the neighbors. There is a partial sidewalk existing along Avenue F, and it is obvious that pedestrians travel along the other streets where a sidewalk belongs. To further protect the neighborhood, staff and Engineering would prefer to eliminate access from Wall Street as it is not necessary. The applicant has stated they intend to install an 8 foot tall wooden fence along the perimeter. Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. Installation/repair of sidewalks along Wall Street, Avenue F and Avenue G. 2. Eliminate the entrance from Wall Street. 3. Install an 8 foot tall wood or masonry fence along Avenue 6 and Wall Street for the perimeter of the storage facility. 4. Lighting shall be shielded from adjacent residential uses.
