Direct staff to come back to City Council on November 6, 2007 with language to ask for a moratorium on any more self storage facilities

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously agreed to ask staff to prepare language for a temporary ban on new self-storage facilities, which will be considered at their November 6, 2007 meeting. This means no new storage businesses like U-Haul facilities could be approved while the city works on clearer rules about where they can locate and how they should be designed. The moratorium would give city planners time to draft comprehensive regulations without new projects moving forward under the current unclear zoning rules. This was a procedural vote to direct staff work rather than impose an immediate ban.
