When we first discussed the expansion of the storage facility, we thought you meant one or two
buildings, not five. This represents a 153 percent increase in the building space and at fall
development would represent 60 percent of the building area. These buildings will then
represent the majority of the development and should represent the quality of development. The
Business and Fringe Services District was intended to accommodate limited commercial uses
temporary in nature without urban services.
The city also anticipates that when this area redevelops, a public road would provide access to
the parcels. Below is the preferred alignment.
You will need to complete a new development review application form. Link to application:
