Comment Staff Response
1 Concern over traffic generation from proposed
self-storage facility; they would like there to be
some empirical data over actual trip generation
and question the SANDAG trip ge neration
model; concern that traffic is already a problem
and the proposed commercial facility will make
matters worse.
Applicant/staff-this is one of the least
impactive uses in terms of traffic
generation.
A traffic letter prepared by LOS
Engineering dated March 28, 2019,
indicated the projected ADT ’s of the
project are t oo l ow to warrant the
preparation of a Traffic Study.
2 Concern over noise and dust being generated
during the 18 months of construction -recall
what occurred during the construction of SR -
125
Project will be conditioned so that
appropriate Noise and Dust control
measures will be in place prior to
commencement of grading operations.
3 Concern over operational noise especially on
Saturdays; will hours of operation be restricted?
Applicant-they are not proposing a 24
hour operation. A Conditional Use Permit
has been prepared in or der to restrict the
hours of operation. Proposed hours of
operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Monday through Sunday,
3 Lack of p ublic notification -why was there no
formal notifications sent out indicating prior
proposal was no longer being considered?
There is no requirement to provide public
notification to indicate a particular
proposal is no longer being considered.
4 Public notification-request that they send future
notifications beyond 500 foot radius
The c urrent public notice requirement is
500 ft. radius notification for general
notification.
5 Why is the applicant proposing and the City
considering allowing another self -storage
facility when there are three others in the
vicinity?
A Market Study prepared by Haviland
Storage Services in 2019 for the proposed
project which confirmed there is a need
for additional self-storage in the area.

6 Jose Martin-would like a copy of environmental
documentation when it is available. Indicated
there is wildli fe and gnatcatchers and other
species.
At the time of preparation of draft
Mitigation Negative Declaration (MND),
a public notice w as mailed to all
residents/property owners within 500 foot
radius of t he pro ject. The MND was
posted onto the City web site and a public
notice of availability for public review
period (September 16, 2019 through
October 16, 2019 ) was m ailed to
residents/property owners within 500 foot
radius of the project.
7. Doesn’t open space mean the site is lik e a
greenbelt area never to be developed.
Jeff (City) drew a distinction between two
types of open space. O nce type is like a
natural preserve/greenbelt area to remain
open/natural and undeveloped. In the case
of the subject parcel, while the General
Plan is open space the actual OS-3 district
on the parcel assumes that there would be
a limited amount of develop ment uses fo r
the property. Allowable uses within the
OS-3 zone include: parks and recreation
uses. Conditionally permitted u ses
include: fruit and vegetable stands tree
farming, and a horticulture garden. The
applicant is requesting a different OS
designation in order to allow self -storage
which they believe to be a low impact use
of the site.
8. Will the hours of operation be limited? Will
there be limitations of who can use/what can be
stored at the facility -as this could determine the
frequency of visits.
In response to concern these con cerns,
staff has required the applicant to submit a
request for a Conditional Use Permit.
Hours of operation are proposed for 7:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday thro ugh
Sunday.
9. Security concerns as this is a self -storage
facility
Security fencing will be provided around
the perimeter of the facility. Said fencing
must be reviewed and approved prior to
City i ssuance of bu ilding or la ndscape
permits.
