CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 2 of 10 5 1 7 1 DISCUSSION Project Description The Applicant proposes to redevelop a portion of the existing Extra Space Storage facility at 1030 E. Fourth Street. The Project involves demolishing two one-story self-storage buildings, including the current rental office and manager’s apartment, as well as partially demolishing two additional one-story storage buildings. In their place, a new three-story self-storage building will be constructed, totaling 91,558 square feet, featuring a 1,147- square-foot rental office and a 680-square-foot manager’s apartment. No changes are proposed to the facility’s hours of operation. The rental office will continue to operate Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with customer access to storage units available daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Architecture and Design The new building will feature a contemporary industrial mill-style aesthetic, characterized by a brown brick façade, aluminum windows, storefront glass, spandrel glazing, and a standing seam metal roof with metal canopies. This design approach blends modern materials with traditional industrial elements, resulting in a structure that reflects the area’s historic character in a modern context. Spandrel glazing will be installed on the east and west elevations to provide articulation and breaks in the façade while minimizing aesthetic intrusion onto the adjacent residential community. Generous use of glass and aluminum windows enhances openness and visual connectivity, while durable brick and metal components ensure long-term resilience. On-Site and Off-Site Improvements Site improvements are proposed to enhance the property’s appearance, including the introduction of a landscaped parkway along Fourth Street and new plantings along Standard Avenue, where the frontage is sparsely vegetated and primarily gravel. New wrought iron perimeter fencing and 24-inch box Pacific wax myrtle trees extending more than halfway along the west property line are proposed to provide screening, enhance privacy and separation between the storage facility and neighboring homes. At the rear of the property facing First Street, the existing chain link fence with mesh screening and barbed wire will be replaced with a concrete masonry unit (CMU) block wall. New lighting will be installed around the proposed building, consisting of wall packs and canopy fixtures designed to provide adequate safety and visibility while minimizing impacts on adjacent residences through careful orientation and shielding. The Project will provide a total of 11 parking spaces, including four electric vehicle-capable stalls and four bicycle parking spaces, exceeding City requirements. Additionally, an approximately 135-square-foot triangular portion along the north property line, located about 30 feet from the westerly property line, will need to be vacated by the City under a separate action (i.e., street vacation/abandonment). This remnant area was previously an easement to allow for traffic and pedestrian visibility associated with
