Ordinance No. 1814: Text Amendments to Section 2.04/Figure 2.04.02 and S... Page 1314 of 1755 Providence bans development of new selftorage faciliti PROVIDENCE,RI. (WJAR) — As the state's housing crisis rages on, the Providence City Council took action last week to help curb that.
In a vote Thursday night, the city council passed a zoning ordinance amendment, banning new self-storage facilities from being developed in the future in the city.
In a statement accompanied by the passage, Major Whip Miguel Sanchez of Ward 6 said in part, “My colleagues and I have been saying ’let’s house people, not things.’ The council has committed to moving away from these types of development projects and fully embracing efforts to build affordable housing.”
As of right now, Providence is home to 15 self-storage facilities and two more are on the way. Those projects, which were approved prior to the council's decision, will not be impacted by the legislation.
In an interview with NBC 10 Monday, Sanchez said with 17 facilities in the Capital City, combined with what he estimated to be 50 more within a 10- mile radius outside it -- that's plenty.
"They don't offer much community benefit, they don't help the community, they don't offer manyjobs," he told NBC 10 News. "It's an by CAL DYMOWSKI, NBC 10 NEWS

industry that's not stopping any time soon, and in my opinion and in the research that our staff has found, there are better uses for that land." Sanchez says the motivation for the amendment came from a trip to Boston but also has its roots before he held elected office. Sanchez says neighbors in Ward 6 were concerned years ago about self-storage development property, wanting it to be a small business or housing.
Now in the middle of a statewide and urgent battle to build affordable units, he wanted to do a small part to help.
"That's the number one thing we're hearing from our constituents: high rent prices, not a lot of houses on the market to purchase," Sanchez said. "That opportunity for building equity and homeownership is becoming more and more scarce. So this might be a small, little change but it plays a big part in our priorities at the city council when it comes to housing." But while change seems good to many, the Northeast Self Storage Association expressed concerns.
The association represents self—storagefacilities across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In a phone interview Monday, its president Charlie Fritts said his group was not a part of the discussions and called the change ”ill-advised."
"Ithink a lot of those old factory buildings that are all around New Englan d make very good conversions to self-storage and it's a great re-use of an old building that's probably shuttered," he said. "I'm not saying my idea is the only idea, but maybe a blended decision from all parties involved would've been helpful."

Sanchez says the change coincides with other housing pushes the PVDcit y
council is making. Councilors are currently reviewing zoning in their wards to "see where we could change the density and create more opportunity for housing." There AREalso a few who are taking a closer look at the rental industry, with Snachez hinting at policies on rental stabilization or rent control in the near future.
"This isn't a stand-alone amendment change," he said. "This is part of our vision as a city council: to make sure we're getting the best use out of the very little developmental land that we have."

The determination of the number of permits to be issued in the City for the City's Cannabis Business Permit Program is covered by the common sense exemption in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a signi?cant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a signi?cant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Accordingly, the City Council ?nds the adoption of said fees exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Ordinance limits sites fornew construction
After a year of study and deliberation, Bloomington City Council members effectively put an end to the city’s ?ourishing self—storagefacility industry with little fanfare.
The council on May 24 unanimously approved a highly restrictive ordinance that won’t prevent the construction of additional self-storage facilities, but seemingly puts an end to the industry’s growth in the near future.
The council’s ordinance is more restrictive than initially drafted, and counter to the Planning Commission’s recommendation from less than

The ordinance approval ends a moratorium on construction of such facilities, but leaves few place for construction of new facilities in Bloomington, and none of those options appear to be readily available to developers of self—storage facilities, due to existing uses of the qualifying parcels, according to City Planner Shawn James.
The city’s one-year moratorium on the development of self-storage facilities was enacted in June 2020, and was within a month of expiration at the time of the council’s vote. The moratorium was in response to the increase in such facilities throughout the city.
Bloomington has nine self—storage facilities, which is about double what it had four years ago. “While self-storage is in demand, current regulations allow facilities in some areas that don’t align with the vision and goals of city plans and are impactful to their surroundings,” a city staff report states.
Bloomington appeared to be emerging as the leader in self—storage among its neighboring cities. James said the city has a disproportionate supply of storage units when compared to neighboring cities.
The staff report noted benefits of such facilities, such as providing space for recreational vehicle parking. “This is useful for many residents that are unable, due to code requirements, to park their vehicle at their house.” But the city has identified drawbacks to its burgeoning supply of storage units. “The use generates low commercial and employment activities,”

The multi-level facilities aren’t always adored by those living or working nearby, as their height and the lighting impacts adjacent properties, he noted.
The council, largely in agreement with those findings, welcomed additional restrictions on future facilities. The ordinance prohibits self— storage facilities on parcels designated as protected industrial in the Comprehensive Plan, in areas within a half mile of existing or planned light rail transit or bus rapid transit stations that typically provide access to high-density residential or employment opportunities, on parcels included within the city’s Lyndale Avenue Retrofit Study area and in areas within 500 feet of properties zoned and used residentially.
The ordinance also requires council approval of a conditional—use permit for future facilities. Permit approvals were previously under the purview of the Planning Commission, the staff memo noted.
Based upon the restrictions of the ordinance, there are four areas within the city that could accommodate new self-storage facilities, according to James. Of the nine facilities in the city, only two along American Boulevard will conform to the new ordinance. The other seven are legal, nonconforming facilities, he noted.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the ordinance during its May 13 meeting, indicating a preference for a less restrictive approach and suggesting the approved ordinance is essentially a prohibition on self—storage facilities, according to the staff memo.

SELF-STORAGELANDUSE
For the purpose of this document, the term "self-storage facility” includes establishments that offer storage in an enclosed building, with access to storage units only from the interior of the building. These facilities are referenced as "internalized community storage” in the city’s Zoning Ordinance and can also be referred to as miniwarehouses.
DESIGNOBJECTIVES
For decades, the site planning and aesthetic design evaluation through the Development Review process has instrumentally shaped the community. Quality design is seamlessly woven into the surrounding context, both respecting and enhancing its surroundings. Another measure of quality design is its functionality and durability. A building should be constructed with both the present and the future in mind. Certain materials and construction methods should be used to create a building that willwithstand the test of time. A design can be measured by what it contributes to the community. Quality design should not only meet individual needs but should also achieve the objectives of the greater city.
These Self-Storage Facilities Design Guidelines provide the framework that guides individual developments as they visually and physicallywork together to define, shape, and enhance the image of Scottsdale. A portion of the design objectives found in these guidelines have been retained from earlier, community-created design goals, while others include updated language or represent completely new concepts. Collectively, these design objectives establish the community's aesthetic vision for self—storage facilities The design objectives for self—storage facilities include:
Cohesive/y integrate self-storage facilitiesinto the fabricofthe built environment.
Mitigate potential unwanted impacts fromself—storagefacilitieson adjacent properties, especially adjacent residential properties.
Limit the use ofcorporate identificationin the building design ofself—storagefacilities.
Promote the use ofhigh-quality design consistent with other buildings in Scottsdale.
Encourage property improvements to fosterthe overall economic prosperity ofScottsdale.
PURPOSE OF GUIDELINES
Design guidelines implement policies of the General Plan and Character Area Plans and serve as a tool to help provide clarity to the community’s values and expectation for certain uses and/or building typology. During the design process, creativity and innovation are encouraged, thus these Guidelines are intended to be ?exible, and to act as a tool to guide innovative, quality design. The Guidelines are meant to encourage and promote unique solutions to design opportunities and challenges. In conjunction with the Sensitive Design Principles, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Design Standards and Policies Manual (DSPM), the Guidelines direct design in a way that accounts for the larger context, complements the established character, encourages thoughtful design, mitigates potential impacts, and upholds the values of the community.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 18, 2024
TO: Planning Commission
FROM Kevin Snyder, AICP, Community Development Director 44% SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION: Regulations for Self-Storage/MiniStorage/Recreational Vehicle Storage Facilities in the City of lndio Background Information:
On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed potential policy alternatives for the regulation of self-storage/mini-storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities in the City of lndio As discussed in the staff issued memo for this meeting, the current moratorium on the land use entitlement approvals and building permit and engineering approvals for these specific land uses is in effect until July 1, 2024. At the conclusion of its discussion, the Commission gave consensus to the following regulatory alternative:
Policy Alternative #4 (Limitation on Total Number within City) + Policy Alternative #6 (Location Limitations for Facilities) + Policy Alternative #2 (Enhanced Design Standards) Following this consensus direction, staff noted that itwould further develop this regulatory approach for Commission review and discussion at its April 24, 2024 meeting. The following is a summary of staff’s analysis and/or recommendations for the Commission to provide consensus feedback on.
As a reminder, the Planning Commission is currently scheduled, per the approved Revised Work Plan approved by the City Council, to conduct the required public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council in May 2024.

Policy Alternative #4:
As previously noted at the April 10 Commission meeting, there are 13 existing and active facilities in the City together with 7 that have received land use entitlement approval and are either going through the building permit and engineering approval processes and/or are under construction. Based on the reasonable assumption that these seven facilities will all be constructed, the City would have a total of 20 storage related facilities in the City. To help ensure that Policy Alternative #4 is based on a measurable standard — this was discussed by staff at the April 10 meeting — staff reviewed several different alternatives to legislatively establish a maximum number of allowed self-storage/mini— storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities within the City. Based on the Commission’s discussion at the April 10 meeting, staff understood that the Commission is seeking to recommend a total number of facilities within the City between 20 and 30.
Based on the following, staff identified the following options for this alternative:
1. Staff analyzed a square footage range based on population similar to how the City calculated the number of allowable cannabis facilities, however, with anticipated population growth, the applicability of a range proved to be limited because the difference between the high and low square footage amounts was de minimus.
2. Staff also analyzed the storage industry’s approach comprised of a competitive market area analysis. For this type of market-oriented analysis, a prospective storage operator would analyze a certain square footage (e.g. 5 to 10 square feet per person) within the area being analyzed less the existing square footage of facilities within that area. In addition, this type of analysis looks at other factors including but not limited to household income, household age, potential rental rates. The challenge with this market-based approach is that is intended to guide private sector decision-making and risk analysis for making an investment decision for a for-profit enterprise. This approach does not appear to be immediately applicable to citwide land use regulations because the primary goal of these regulations is to preserve and/or enhance the public health, safety and welfare of property owners, residents and businesses.
3. Staff analyzed a per capita alternative based on the current number of 20 facilities comprised of 13 existing facilities together with 7 under development facilities that staff reasonably believe will be constructed. Based on the City’s current population of 91,980 divided by 20 facilities, the per capita alternative could be 1 facility per 4,599 persons. Per the adopted General Plan 2040, the City’s planned build-out population is 121,000 persons meaning that there are approximately 29,020 more people that wil l reside in the City before the planned built-out status of the City. Therefore, the total number of additional facilities that could be developed in the City before the planned build-out situation would be 6 facilities (29,020 / 4,599 = 6.3).
Staff recommend that the Commission consider the third option presented for this alternative. This option is related to a commonly accepted measurement - i.e. 1 land use per X persons. It relates to the City’s planned population growth as specified in the City Council adopted General Plan 2040. Further, it is tied to the City’s future population

growth that allows a reasonable number of additional facilities to support the City’s future population growth.
At this time, staff has not taken a position on what the regulatory position of the City should be when the maximum number of facilities is achieved, and a facility stops operating. Specifically, if the City has reached a maximum number of facilities and a facility closes reducing the remaining number of facilities below this maximum number, should the City allow one new additional facility to be developed either at the same property or somewhere else in the City or should the City not allow a new facility. For the latter, this could result in an overall reduction of total facilities in the City over a period of time. Staff recommend that the Commission discuss this item further on April 24 and provide consensus guidance.
Policy Alternative #6:
There are several location limitation options for the Commission to consider ranging from physical distance separation between facilities to locations in proximity to residentially zoned or used properties to limitations on proximity major street corridors. Similar to Policy Alternative #4, it is prudent to have a measurable standard (s) for the implementation of this policy alternative. Based on this premise, staff identified the following options for this alternative:
1. Physical geographic distance of 2,640 lineal feet (one-half a mile) between existing and new facilities and between new facilities as measured from property line to property line. T
2. Physical distance separation of 1,000 feet from streets having a functional classification or greater of Collector as measured from property line to the outer street right-of—wayline.
3. Physical geographic distance of 2,640 lineal feet (one-half a mile) between existing and new facilities and between new facilities as measured from property line to property line + Physical distance separation of 1,000 feet from streets having a functional classification or greater of Collector as measured from property line to the outer street right-of—wayline.
Staff recommend the third option for the implementation of this Policy Alternative should be considered by the Commission. This combined alternative will limitthe clustering of storage facilities within a certain area of the City that could reduce the amount of available industrial land and support the enhanced variety of diverse industrial land uses. This combined alternative will also reduce the potential for development of these facilities at or near major street sections in the City for which employment generating land uses might need or desire proximity and access for movement of goods, people and services. The Commission could at its discretion modify the recommended physical distance measurements based on its own discussion or feedback from interested parties.
At this time, staff has not taken a position on the question raised by the Commission on the “equitable distribution” of facilities throughout the City and whether this distribution

should focus on the siting of allowed facilities within North lndio closer to the current growth areas of the City. Staff recommend that the Commission discuss this item further on April 24 and provide consensus guidance.
Policy Alternative #2:
Section 2.04 (Non-Residential Zones) of the City of lndio Unified Development Code regulates land uses and development standards for Light Industrial (IL) and Heavy Industrial (IH) zoned properties. In addition, Section 4.19 (Mini-Storage Warehousing or Facility) of the City of lndio Unified Development Code specifies additional development standards that must be complied with for mini-storage warehousing facilities. After reviewing potential options for enhanced design standards, staff recommends that the Commission consider the adoption of Design Guidelines similar to those utilized by the City of Scottsdale, Arizona. The adoption of these Design Guidelines together with the more broad-based zoning requirements specified in Section 2.04 of the Unified Development Code as well as the continued implementation of specific subsections of Section 4.19 of the Unified Development Code — eg. a minimum of 50 percent of the lot frontage being occupied by retail or office uses — will result in higher quality design architectural and site design of these facilities that will be more context sensitive to surrounding land uses.

SELF-STORAGELAND USE
For the purpose of this document, the term “self-storage facility" includes establishments that offer storage in an enclosed building, with access to storage units only from the interior of the building. These facilities are referenced as "internalized community storage” in the city’s Zoning Ordinance and can also be referred to as miniwarehouses.
DESIGN 0 B] ECTIVES
For decades, the site planning and aesthetic design evaluation through the Development Review process has instrumentally shaped the community. Quality design is seamlessly woven into the surrounding context, both respecting and enhancing its surroundings. Another measure of quality design is its functionality and durability. A building should be constructed with both the present and the future in mind. Certain materials and construction methods should be used to create a building that will withstand the test of time. A design can be measured by what it contributes to the community. Quality design should not only meet individual needs but should also achieve the objectives of the greater city.
These Self—Storage Facilities Design Guidelines provide the framework that guides individual developments as they visually and physicallywork together to define, shape, and enhance the image of Scottsdale. A portion of the design objectives found in these guidelines have been retained from earlier, community—created design goals, while others include updated language or represent completely new concepts. Collectively, these design objectives establish the community’s aesthetic vision for self-storage facilities The design objectives for self-storage facilities include:
Cohesive/y integrate self-storage facilitiesinto the fabricofthe built environment. - Mitigate potential unwanted impacts fromself—storage facilitieson adjacent properties, especially adjacent residential properties.
- Limit the use ofcorporate identificationin the building design ofself—storage facilities. - Promote the use ofhigh—qualitydesign consistent with other buildings in Scottsdale. - Encourage property improvements to fosterthe overall economic prosperity ofScottsdale.
PURPOSE OF GUIDELINES
Design guidelines implement policies of the General Plan and Character Area Plans and serve as a tool to help provide clarity to the community’s values and expectation for certain uses and/or building typology. During the design process, creativity and innovation are encouraged, thus these Guidelines are intended to be ?exible, and to act as a tool to guide innovative, quality design. The Guidelines are meant to encourage and promote unique solutions to design opportunities and challenges. In conjunction with the Sensitive Design Principles, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Design Standards and Policies Manual (DSPM), the Guidelines direct design in a way that accounts for the larger context, complements the established character, encourages thoughtful design, mitigates potential unwanted impacts, and upholds the values of the community.

MARKET ANALYSIS
FOR A PROPOSED
SELF-STORAGEPROJECT
ON AN 8.25-ACRE SITE
IN INDIO
Preliminary Report, 1746
September23 2021
SUBJECT SITE AND PROPOSED PROJECT
Though the site is on a low traf?c volume street, it will bene?t from visitors to the adjacent StorQuestfacility, which has an establishedimage.
Doctor Carreon Blvd has direct links to Hwy 111on the west and east. Hwy 111 links to the l—lOFreeway via Golf Center Parkway just to the north of the site.
The current plan envisions 150.0008Fiof net rentable space, with two perimeter buildings and a large central building. The site will also accommodate RV storage.
COMPETITION
Given the location of the site relative to the I—10Freeway and other major roads, the competitive market area (CMA) is comprised of an oblong shape as shown in Exhibit A.
The Table 1 summary indicatesthat there are 11 facilities in the CMA that comprise 691,lOOSF of net rentable space. with an average size of 62,827SF per project.
The estimated overall space vacancy factor is an exceptionally low 0.8% indicating that most projects are essentially full.
None of these is new enough to assess an initial rent-up rate, but the near zero vacancy factor indicates a very strong market.
Table 2 illustrates the wide spectrum of rents for each size category and that most units are drive-ups. This table also provides average rent] SF numbers for each size and condition.
Premiums for drive-ups and climate-controlledunits cannot be calculated due to the very smallsample.Previous studies have identi?ed a premium of 15% for drive-up conditions. It is also true, however, that some users prefer ground ?oor conditions due to a perceptionthat they are cleaner.

In previous studies, I also identi?ed an average premium of 35%: for climatecontrolled space. Due to the lack of ground ?oor rents, the climate-controlled premium must be compared to drive-up conditions. Given a 15% premium for driveups, the net premium for climate-controlledspace compared to drive-ups is 20%.
The Table 3 graph illustrates the relative rent positioning for each project. Thisgraph shows that A Storage Place #6 and Prime Storage are at the high end of the rent spectrum, while StorAmerica #5 is at the low end.
This graph also provides an indication of the wide spreadfrom low to high rents for all size categories, with a range from 32% for le255 to 95% for 5x15’s and an average of 61%.
These radical swings in rents illustrate the fact that rents are typically set on a daily basis depending on the amount of space in inventory for any given size. In this case. the limited number of units available results in distorted rates. Thus, rents should be viewed as approximateindicatorsof potential. not absolutes. ' Also.mid—pointrents are more reliable indicators of achievable rents, since they tend to cancel the “outliers.”
. Average rents by space size shown in Table 4 indicate a decline of $0.l2/SF for each lOSF of size increase from the 5x10 to 10x10 and $0.03/SF from 10x10 to 10x15.
This relationship istypical for a suburban market and suggests robust demand for larger space types.
. The “space pro?le“ for the CMA shown in Table 5 indicates that the 5x10 & 10x10 sizes are predominantin terms of units, while the lelO’s and 10x20’s dominate in terms of space. These are normal relationshipsfor a suburban market. . Vacancy data by space size illustrates that the larger units experience a higher vacancy factor. This is atypical and is most likely skewed due to the very limited inventory of available units.
. The schematic absorption model presented in Table 6 shows that from 2001 through 2007 an average of48,000SF of new space per year was absorbed. After seven years of no new space, the market absorbed another 53,0008F during 2015 and 2016. It has now been another ?ve plus years without new space in the CMA.
The lack of new space, coupled with the exceptionally low vacancy factor, provide a strong indication of pent-up demand.
My investigation of projects currently planned for future developmentin the CMA revealed that there is one as shown in Table 7.
StorQuestwill develop a project of 50.0008F net rentable space on the north side of the I-10 Freeway at the northern fringe of the CMA.
Dependingon the actual development timing for StorQuest,it is likely that it would enter the market before the proposed project. This timing and the fringe location suggest that its competitive influence will be minimal. . Given the industry focus on self-storage and the low vacancy factor it is possible that another project could enter the market at some time during the initial rent-up period forthe proposedproject.

MARKET DEMAND
The demographic summary shown in Table 8 indicates a population base of 128,400, with a projected increase to 141,000 by 2026. This expresses a 2% growth rate compared to 1% for California. This higher rate is due to the ample vacant land in the CMA for future residential development. Thus.this area is where most of the future growth of the Coachella Valley will occur.
The percentage of owner households at 62% is well above the average of 56% for California. but the median income of $45,100 is substantially below $67,100 for the state. The large amount of second homes/homeowners signi?cantly skews this number to a higher amount.
The large percentage of households in the 35 to 54 group is positive, since this group is in the peak years of acquiring household.business and recreational goods.
Similarly. the 55+ group is highly positive since most are in a move-down mode; thus, in need of storage for items no longer in use.
The foregoing factors are favorable for self-storage demand and suggest a focus on larger sizes.
Table 9 indicates that most of the projects receive some market support from outside the CMA.
The per capita use factor at 3.74SF derived from Table 9 is well under the state at
5.53SF. This low per capita supports the conclusion relative to pent-up demand and a need for additional space in the CMA.
The long-term trend for per capita has averaged a 4%: annual increase. Recent readings have been lower. indicating that a 3% rate should be a more reasonable predictorof the future trend.
The combination of a growing population and increasing per capita use comprise the primary drivers for self-storage demand.
The Table 10 analysis uses these two factors to derive an estimate of demand for new self-storage space in the CMA. which is estimated at 25.200iSFper year for an average absorption of about 2.1008F per month from these sources.
In addition to the above, the current very low vacancy factor is a good indicator of potentialpent-up demand. In order to adjust to a normal 10% vacancy factor, an additional 63,0008F: of new space would be required to bring the market to a state of equilibrium and satisfy pent-up demand.
This should take place over a two-year periodand equates to an additional demand of about 2,6OOSFper month.
. Given the projected growth for the CMA. demandgenerated by new homes and apartments will also have a major positive in?uence to demand. This is due to the fact that new home buyers and apartment renters use storage at a much higher rate than existing home owners and renters.
. The Table 11 analysis indicates that this source should boost absorption by another
1.20031:per month.

IV.
Together, normal demand (table 10), demand from the vacancy adjustment and demand from new home construction (Table 11) total 5.90081:per month on average Due to the strong location and new product, and in light of the anticipated low level of future competition, the proposed project should capture 60% of this potential for a rent-up rate of 3.500:SFper month.
For the same reasons.it should capture a greater than fair share of the entry/exit market as shown Table 12. This analysis indicates that an additional 9OOSFof space would be absorbed per month by the proposed project, for an estimated total space absorption of 4,4OOSFper month.
At this rate, the 150,0008F project would reach 90% occupancy in about 31 months and 65% within 14+ months.
EVALUATION
The proposed project will bene?t from a convenient location and good access for the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Pent-up demand in this market issubstantial and should add signi?cantly to the future demand for self—storage.
Also.most of the future growth in the Coachella Valley will be accommodated in and near the CMA. Thistrend will; augment demand for self-storage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing. the probable long absorption period suggests some consideration should be given to a phased development scheme.
In light of these ?ndings. I recommendyou proceed with the project as proposed.
Accordingly. I have outlined my recommendationsfor the space mix and rents as shown below.

12. Given the location adjacent to StorQuest, it would be advantageous to differentiate the projectfrom the competitionby creating a “landmark” building with an “eye catching” architectural element.
This can also be accomplished by bold graphics on the building. See Exhibit B for examples.
The large size of the center building suggests an opportunityto create an enjoyable interior environment. In this regard. I recommend color coding the ailes using bright cheery colors, naming them as streets with appropriategraphics and installingan intercom system with music, comedy clips and news ?ashes etc. to add interest. Also. the intercom system should be placed in a way to allow customers to conveniently communicatewith the of?ce from any aisle within the building.
A bright, open, well fenestrated of?ce space with an ample zoned space for retail products will be essential. In addition, a sit-down counter for customer to ?ll-out forms should be incorporated, along with sitting area for children and friends/family that may be with the customers.
A state-of—the-artsecurity system should be incorporatedand placed for easy viewing by customers. This will enhance the perceptionof tight security.
It should be noted here that during the initial rent-up period, rent concessions will doubtlessly be required to achieve the absorption goal. These can take many forms. with common discounts such as 50% off the ?rst month, or one month free, etc.
It will be of critical importance to have a comprehensive website that presents the full array of advantages, features, space rents. specials and renting proceduresin an easy to read format, navigate and print. In addition, it should have a virtual tour capability.

# RESPONSES DATE
1 We definitely have more than we need. 11/5/2023 3:26 PM 2 Interesting analysis of the jobs and taxes. And coming from someone who will need RV storage soon but I don’t think we need so many locations
11/4/2023 10:41 AM
3 They should be away from homes, best place would be next to the freeway or next to commercial buildings. We should not have to see unsightly buildings pop up randomly throughout the city. 11/4/2023 9:07 AM
4 More storage facilities goes against what Indio is trying to do. Upgrade the city. Storage facilities bring property value down and create security issues. Has anyone checked to see capacity of those already built? My guess is it is just a money grab, meanwhile taking down Indio a notch or two. Let's see better quality added to the city, not more fast food, storage facilities, and gas stations!
11/4/2023 8:52 AM
5 If the current storage places are almost all filled then yes another business should be approved. 11/4/2023 8:02 AM 6 We have too many in the City Of Indio now, as it stands, and some of the facilities look, beat up, worn down and need to be more attractive
11/4/2023 6:45 AM
7 Prohibit the facilities to price gouge the customers. Because of demand, they sky rocket their pricing making it unaffordable for a long term storage user.
11/3/2023 11:53 PM
8 Building more storage/rv garages Is enough for the city we need more retail development opportunities and more shopping center ideas with more full service restaurants like Texas Roadhouse on Jackson st for example 11/3/2023 10:21 PM
9 You must remember, new planned communities do NOT allow RV storage on the homeowners property or in communal parking areas. Garages that the city approves barely fit a car, must less anyplace for storage. Many HOA's do not allow parking of commercial vehicles (Plumbers, Electricians Gardeners etc.), even in the owner's own driveway. The only recourse a citizen has, is storage facilities. We need a ratio of storage to estimated need, not just a random number. neighboring cities are a poor judgement of the needs of our city. Tax generation as a decision making process is not ,in the long term, in the citizens best interests.
11/3/2023 7:52 PM
10 If you already have 15 storage facilities and another 7 in the pipeline that is already too many. I would prohibit all future facilities
11/3/2023 7:31 PM
11 Junky looking! 11/3/2023 5:35 PM
12 I would ask that the units are in areas that are not so noticeable and ask for good desert scape so that they blend with the surrounding areas. The one by Tractor Supply is almost not noticeable. The one at the Golf Center and 111 is old and very noticeable.
11/3/2023 5:32 PM
13 We have too many now. We should save some land for other businesses that bring jobs. 11/3/2023 5:21 PM

f. The limited economic benefit of such facilities in terms of property tax generation, sales tax generation and employment generation. g.

RE: Planning Commission Item 5.1, Proposed Resolution No. 2090 We appreciate the opportunity to provide this public comment letter on behalf of 1784 Holdings, LLC (“1784 Holdings”), developer of the approved Indio RV Storage project at the northwest corner of Enterprise Way and Van Buren Street (APNs 611-410-065, -066, -067, -068, -069, -070, -071, -072, and -075), across from the Valley Sanitary District treatment plant. This project was approved by the Planning Commission through Resolution No. 2065 on August 23, 2023. Since this approval, 1784 Holdings closed escrow on this property (under the legal entity name EWVBS-CA, LLC), and has been diligently advancing with the plan check process. 1784 Holdings understands the Planning Commission is considering proposed Resolution No. 2090, which would recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance prohibiting mini-storage, selfstorage, and RV storage facilities. If the Planning Commission adopts this resolution, and if City Council adopts an ordinance for such a prohibition, 1784 Holdings respectfully requests that the resolution and ordinance include language that clearly exempts storage facility projects with approved land use entitlements from any prohibition. Suggested language is listed below:
Nothing in this resolution/ordinance is intended to prohibit the establishment of those facilities for which a land use application was previously submitted and deemed complete prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 1791,1 which such facilities may be established and operated subject to the City’s nonconforming use regulations in Chapter 6.07 of the City’s Unified Development Code.
1784 Holdings is excited to continue moving forward with transforming their long-vacant property into an attractively designed, professionally managed storage facility, while meeting high local demand for this use and contributing to the community as a long-term corporate neighbor. We also appreciate your consideration of the above-requested language. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] or (310) 838-2400 x110.
Sincerely,

Kevin,
I do not know if I can make the meeting, but would like the concerns below shared with the planning commission and placed into the record.
My name is Benjamin Egan, and I am an Indio Resident, own one residential and two commercial properties within the City of Indio, and own Egan Civil, Inc. one of the few Civil Engineering Firms headquartered in the City of Indio. As a City of Indio Resident and Small Business owner, I am concerned about the land development regulations being proposed by the planning commission at this time.
While I understand the concerns about utilization of Industrial Land in the City of Indio, I think there are better ways to address those concerns than an outright ban on certain types of development. In reviewing the public record, I think much has been overlooked in the discussions about storage facilities. I agree that these facilities possibly should be limited, and development carefully considered in certain valuable areas, such as the Highway 111 corridor, portions of the Indio Blvd Corridor and at locations with immediate Interstate 10 Freeway Access such as within ½ mile of the Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson and Golf Center interchanges. However, there are other locations that have lay fallow for many decades and have existing permanent constraints that would make them good candidates for continuing to allow this kind of development.
For example, Commerce Street, south of Citrus Avenue south of the Border Patrol Facilities is of a completely different character than the above-mentioned locations. The proximity to the railroad, the VSD treatment facility, the wind and dust issues due to proximity to the wash, the sight distance issues with the intersection of Commerce Street and Avenue 45, as well as the lack of availability of power from IID, create unique challenges to development. They are not suitable for retail or office because of the noise levels from the railroad and the dust, and while they could support heavy industrial uses, they also are good locations for storage uses, which
Ordinance No. 1814: Text Amendments to Section 2.04/Figure 2.04.02 and S... Page 1466 of 1755 have far lower electrical power requirements than heavy industrial uses. In fact, storage facilities would be good pilot projects for completely off grid electrical power systems due to their much lower power demands, and data collected from operating these facilities off-grid would be useful in developing ways of powering more intense electrical power users with completely off grid systems.
I am also concerned that I have seen no discussion of the Airport Land Use Commissions Bermuda Dunes Airport Land Use Plan and Countywide Policies included in any staff reports or discussion on this matter. For example, property located on the north and south side of Indio Blvd, at the T-Intersection with Jefferson Street south of Interstate 10 lies in a B1 Inner Approach/Departure per the Airport Land Use Plan for the Bermuda Dunes Airport published by Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission. The airport land use plan recommends low height, low density, low intensity development in these areas to mitigate the potential for loss of life in the event of an aviation accident, with many types of development being outright prohibited. Storage facilities fit into the safety criteria for this zone nicely, and hence it would seem ill advised to outright ban a highly compatible use in an area with such constraints. (See https://rcaluc.org/sites/g/files/aldnop421/files/migrated/Portals-13-PDFGeneral-plannewplan-04--20Vol.-201-20County-20wide-20Policies.pdf and https://rcaluc.org/sites/g/files/aldnop421/files/2023-06/Bermuda%20Dunes.pdf) I would also point out that some areas of the City’s valuable industrial land are unavailable for development because of Government Agency interference. For example, approximately 16 acres of Industrial land on Oleander and Trader Place, close to the Monroe and Interstate 10 interchange, immediately east of the CV Mosquito and Vector Control Facility could support more employment generating uses but is presently owned by the CV Mosquito and Vector Control District, and are not on the market for sale or proposed for development. I don’t believe it was the intention when the CV Mosquito and Vector Control District was created that it would use public funds to secure and hold large swaths of land for no other purpose than a long-term investment. If the City is truly worried about the availability of industrial land that will generate employment opportunities, a more comprehensive study should be done on availability of land in the industrial zones, and if held by government entities, if they should be encouraged to divest the land if they do not have a use for it identified in their current development plans or budgets.
While I understand concerns about future availability for development that will improve employment opportunities, this can not be the sole consideration in outright banning a type of land use. Once construction is complete, housing does not generate significant employment, but no one would suggest a ban on building more housing, it is very much needed. Many religious organizations do not have paid clergy, but again, no one would propose a ban on building places of worship because they don’t generate employment, and they bring social benefits to the community. Likewise, development of Storage facilities needs to be approached with balance. Outright banning them could result in boats, rvs, cars etc… being crammed in people’s front yards and on the street. And while the argument may be made that
Ordinance No. 1814: Text Amendments to Section 2.04/Figure 2.04.02 and S... Page 1467 of 1755 there are ordinances to prevent such, and that there are officers to enforce these ordinances, at what point does the lack of alternative storage locations become a problem. Hence a more responsible approach would be sound regulation, not an outright ban.
Also, the question should be asked why more employment intensive uses are not already occurring on these properties, as they are no way restricted from doing so in the current free market. Why, despite the availability of affordable industrial property, during a period of explosive growth in the Coachella valley and in the City of Indio over the past 2 decades, has there been a lack of development of warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing projects in the City’s industrial zones? Simply banning a certain type of land use that is in demand will not magically cause the type of development the City is seeking to occur. While it may be appropriate to regulate how much land is used for storage facilities, it would be shortsighted to implement an all out ban without researching, crafting, and adopting a plan to attract the type of development the City is seeking, otherwise the risk is the property will simply remain vacant for many decades, as it already has.
I also have not seen any discussion about the fact that the City of Indio, and the Coachella Valley have a unique situation, in that there are such a large number of seasonal residents.
This would obviously result in an increased demand for storage facilities when residents are away during the summer. Hence, adequate storage facilities are essential to continue to see growth in the tourism industry which the City of Indio and the Coachella Valley significantly rely on. While such development should be carefully regulated, an outright ban could be as shortsighted as allowing development of these facilities to spawn uncontrollably.
I only recently have had opportunity to research this matter, hence the concerns above are not a comprehensive list, but they do illustrate that the discussion of the matter to date is incomplete, additional facts should be considered, and that there is opportunity to pursue a much better solution of proper regulation of these type of facilities opposed to an outright ban on a land use that does serve a needed purpose and that clearly is in demand.

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Resolution No. 10445: Text Amendments to Section 3.5/Table 3.5-1 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Establishing as Prohibited Land Uses within the Boundaries of the Specific Plan New Indoor/Outdoor Mini-Storage, Self-Storage and Recreational Vehicle Storage Facilities RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 10445 amending the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan to establish as prohibited land uses within the regulatory boundaries of the Specific Plan indoor/outdoor ministorage, self-storage and recreational vehicle storage facilities SUMMARY:
Text Amendments to Section 3.5/Table 3.5-1 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Establishing as Prohibited Land Uses within the Boundaries of the Specific Plan New Indoor/Outdoor MiniStorage, Self-Storage and Recreational Vehicle Storage Facilities BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Overview:
On December 12, 2022, the Indio Planning Commission requested the Community Development Department to research and present findings on indoor/outdoor mini-storage also known as selfstorage or mini-storage facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities.
The Planning Commission specifically requested that the Community Development Department provide information on the current number of permitted storage facilities in the City, the number of facilities that have been entitled but not constructed, the number of inquiries within the last year regarding these types of facilities and the number of facilities bordering the City of Indio in the Cities of Coachella, La Quinta, Palm Desert, and unincorporated Bermuda Dunes.
On January 11, 2023, the Community Development Department presented the results of the requested research inclusive of the presence of thirteen (13) existing and active facilities in the City; a total of four (4) pending additional facilities currently going through the City’s land use entitlement approval processes, a total of three (3) facilities that have received land use entitlement approvals and are pending required engineering or building approvals, the receipt of nine (9) inquiries regarding potential additional storage facilities within the City during 2022; the current market focus on the City for these types of facilities and the limited number of current facilities outside the City inclusive of two (2) facilities in the City of Coachella, three (3) facilities in the City of La Quinta, three AGENDA ITEM #10.5
Resolution No. 10445: Text Amendments to Section 3.5/Table 3.5-1 of the ... Page 1473 of 1755 (3) facilities in the City of Palm Desert and one (1) facility in unincorporated Bermuda Dunes, the limited economic benefit of such facilities in terms of property tax generation, sales tax generation and employment generation and the current limited supply of light industrial and heavily industrial zoned lands within the City and the potential loss of future economic opportunity for the City through the continued absorption and utilization of this limited land supply for self-storage facilities, ministorage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities. The Community Development Department at the Planning Commission’s February 8, 2023 regular meeting presented different options for the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council inclusive of: a) Option 1 - Commission take no actions and no changes are made to current zoning regulations for indoor/outdoor mini-storage (also known as self-storage) facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities within the municipal limits of the City of Indio; b) Option 2 - Commission take no action and direct staff to prepare additional information for future discussion on topics identified by the Planning Commission regarding current zoning regulations for indoor/outdoor self-storage or mini-storage facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities within the municipal limits of the City of Indio; c) Option 3 - Commission recommend to the City Council that there be amendments to the City's Unified Development Code to prohibit new indoor/outdoor self-storage or mini-storage facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities within the municipal limits of the City of Indio; d) Option 4 - Commission recommend to the City Council that there be amendments to the City's Unified Development Code to Amend to limit the number or location or concentration of indoor/outdoor self-storage or ministorage facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities within the municipal limits of the City of Indio; e) Option 5 - Commission recommend to the City Council the adoption of a moratorium consistent with statutory provisions to allow the Council, Commission and staff further time to analyze the regulation of indoor/outdoor mini-storage (also known as selfstorage) facilities and/or indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities within the municipal limits of the City of Indio while not allowing any new applications for these facilities during the effective period of the moratorium. At the conclusion of its discussion on February 8, the Planning Commission on a 5-0 motion vote recommended to the City Council the adoption of a moratorium consistent with statutory provisions.
California Government Code Section 65858.a specifies the provisions under which a legislative body can enact a moratorium on the use, construction, establishment or operation of certain land uses when the legislative body believes there is a threat to the public health, safety and welfare of a community. Specifically this Section states: "Without following the procedures otherwise required prior to the adoption of a zoning ordinance, the legislative body of a county, city, including a charter city, or city and county, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, may adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. That urgency measure shall require a four-fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption. The interim ordinance shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption. After notice pursuant to Section 65090 and public hearing, the legislative body may extend the interim ordinance for 10 months and 15 days and subsequently extend the interim ordinance for one year. Any extension shall also require a four-fifths vote for adoption. Not more than two extensions may be adopted”.
On March 15, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved Citywide Urgency Ordinance No. 1791 adopting an interim measure imposing a moratorium on the use, construction, establishment or operation of new self-storage facilities, mini-storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities within the City of Indio. On April 19, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved Citywide Urgency Ordinance No. 1793 extending an interim measure
Resolution No. 10445: Text Amendments to Section 3.5/Table 3.5-1 of the ... Page 1474 of 1755 imposing a moratorium on the use, construction, establishment or operation of new self-storage facilities, mini-storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities within the City of Indio.
Subsequent to the City Council’s approval of Citywide Urgency Ordinance No. 1793, the Community Development Department conducted a community survey regarding the regulation of storage facilities and also held an industry and interested parties stakeholder meeting on February 5, 2024.
On March 6, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved Citywide Urgency Ordinance No. 1810 to authorize the extension to July 1, 2024 of citywide Urgency Ordinance No. 1793, an interim measure imposing a moratorium on the use, construction, establishment or operation of new self-storage facilities, mini-storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities within the City of Indio.
On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a public study session during a regularly scheduled meeting to review and discuss potential policy alternatives for the regulation of selfstorage/mini-storage facilities and recreational vehicle storage facilities in the City of Indio with these alternatives consisting of Policy Alternative No. 1 – No Change Alternative, Policy Alternative No. 2 – Enhanced Design Requirements, Policy Alternative No. 3 – Prohibition on New Uses, Policy Alternative No. 4 – Limitation on Total Number within City, Policy Alternative No. 5 – Location on Unique, Odd-Shaped or Physically Constrained Parcels, Policy Alternative No. 6 – Location Limitations for Facilities and Policy Alternative No. 7: Limitation To Interior Only/Two-Story Designs.
At the conclusion of its review and discussion on April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission provided consensus direction on a hybrid policy alternative for storage facilities consisting of Policy Alternative #4 (Limitation on Total Number within City) plus Policy Alternative #6 (Location Limitations for Facilities) plus Policy Alternative #2 (Enhanced Design Standards).
On April 24, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a public study session during a regularly scheduled meeting to review and discuss the Community Development Department’s analysis of the aforementioned hybrid alternative. At the conclusion of its discussion on April 24, 2024, the Planning Commission provided consensus direction on the establishment of new storage facilities as prohibited land uses within the municipal limits of the City together with consensus direction that any recommendation to the City Council for this prohibition should include a five (5) year review with possible action from the effective date of the City Council’s action on the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
On May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a noticed public hearing with four out of the five Commissioners in attendance. The Commission received two public comments. The commentators requested that the Commission not recommend prohibition of storage facilities to the City Council. Following the close of the public hearing and deliberation, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended to the City Council the prohibition of new indoor/outdoor self-storage or mini-storage facilities and indoor/outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facilities.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings:
The City of Indio Community Development Department, acting as Lead Agency, determined that Section 15061 (Review for Exemption) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations and more specifically (b)(3) of this Section was applicable to the proposed text amendments. Section 15061(b)(3) specifies that a lead agency may determine that an activity is covered by the commonsense exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity (ies) in question may have a significant effect on the environment, then the activity (ies) is not subject to CEQA.
