The shape of the land, topography, wetlands, drainage, flood limits, neighbors, building design, and zoning requirements can have a significant impact on the final building square footage.
Some towns, for example, only permit 50% impervious lot coverage for the buildings and pavement. Other towns do not permit a new self-storage within 3 miles of an existing facility.
Regulated wetland setbacks or wetland buffers often vary from 50 feet to 150 feet from the wetlands. On-site storm drainage detention, if required, can require a half-acre or more land.
High parking requirements in some towns can also limit the number of buildings. In other words, regulations can significantly reduce the amount of self-storage permitted on a given parcel.
Often, self-storage is not even permitted in residential zones and other zones.
The Storage Authority team is excited to guide you on your journey to becoming self-storage owners.
Let's build one for you or convert your existing facility to the Elite Storage Authority brand!
