There are numerous other by-right uses allowed on this site under the existing zoning that would generate a greater impact on traffic. Staff concludes that the proposed use will have a minimal impact on the existing service level of the roadway and should not significantly alter traffic flow. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request for mini-warehouse/self-storage facility subject to the conditions listed below. CONDITIONS 1.
