Faster City approval with early concept plan and design review

By Drew Case

Get a jump start on your concept design early and be sure to you consider city regulations, sound engineering design , feasibility report and self storage standards. Also, a good rendering that really exemplifies the beautification of the community helps tremendously.


Storage Authority Franchise will guide and assist in these aspects and more to get your approval much faster.


A few more factors to include are:


* Your percentage of climate control vs non-climate units. Take into consideration the area and the competition. The other local comps may not be providing climate controlled and this is your opportunity. Of course, you sill need a balance mix of both style units. Have this determined to avoid design changes.


* Storm water detention and stormwater quality. Have this determined for your build and in your design plan. Have a team in place to handle these important details. Municipalities differ on the requirements, so read up before designing.


* Zoning parking requirements for the site. Ensure you allow for at least the minimum parking required. Failure to do so could also lead to redesign of the site plan. Consider ADA parking and where parking makes the most sense for accessibility.


* Landscaping and the beautification of your site can make a real WOW factor. Lighting, trees, flowers and your entrance make a major impact on the "feelings" zoning may have about your commitment to community standards.


These are just a few of the various aspects you must consider when designing your concept plan. A key to gaining a quicker approval and streamline the process is to review the local guidelines and be sure to comply with the city requirements and still work to achieve your needs for your investment.


This information and much more is just a fraction of the information Storage Authority Franchise will use to help guide you along on your way to and fast approval for your self storage investment.
