COPIES:
-------------------------------------------------------------
The mini-storage facilities survey was continued by the Mayor
and Council to the meeting of December 2, 1985 to allow the
Planning Commission sufficient time to consider the mini-
storage facilities study prepared by the Planning Department.
The Planning Commissionr at their regularly scheduled meeting
of Noven~er 19r 1985r considered the mini-storage facilities
study prepared by the Planning Department. After consid-
erable discussionr the Conwission concluded that the best
possible alternative for the control and regulation of mini
storage facilities, was an amendment to the San Bernardino
Municipal Code which would exclude mini-storage facilities
from commercially zoned properties and commercially
industrially zoned properties (C-3A Limited General
Commercial and C-M Conwercial-Manufacturing) and would permit
mini storage facilities only on industrially zoned properties
(M-l Light Industrial and M-2 General Industrial) with the
issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.
In the opinion of the Planning Commissionr there is a satura-
tion of mini-storage facilities throughout the community and
especially in those highly trafficked corridors within the
community, e.g. Highland Avenue, Waterman Avenue and Baseline
Street. It was the Commission I s opinion that the City should
preserve those commercially designated areas for more inten-
sive commercial uses which produce a higher tax rate of
return to the community and which provide a higher ratio of
jobs per square foot.
