for expansion of an existing warehouse and outdoor storage facility with additional storage
units, totaling approximately 10,000 square feet. The Applicant has filed a letter of appeal of
the denial by the Planning Commission based on 1) The variance to the setback regulations
should be granted because other self-storage facilities have received approval for zero rear or
side yard setbacks; 2) The existing General Plan FAR density measurements substantially
reduce the buildable area allowed, and previously approved expansions of this facility prior to
the addition of the density ranges to the General Plan would not have been permitted; and 3)
The City Council should allow a higher FAR for this site to permit further expansion
consistent with the 1987 General Plan which was in effect when the property was purchased.
