During the presentation, staff informed Council of the outstanding corrective actions yet to be completed by Signal Hill Self Storage. At the conclusion of the presentation, Council set a deadline of February 1, 2024, to complete the outstanding corrective actions. In addition, Council also directed staff to prepare the CUP for a future amendment to the conditions of approval On February 1, 2024, the Signal Hill Self Storage Facility was inspected to verify compliance with the outstanding requirements identified during the CUP Annual Review inspections. Corrective actions include the following:

2. Submittal of documentation identifying ownership or lien documents for the boat stored on the property; and
