A proposed self-storage development in Vista, N.Y., was nearly rejected in January by the citys planning department because of ambiguity about the towns codes.
Fisher & Kaplan Holding Corp. presented development plans for a self-storage facility to the citys planning board Jan. 25. However, the planning board wasnt certain the development was permitted under the Town Code. Â City planners briefly put the application on hold while they discussed if a self-storage business fit one of the categories of businesses allowed in a general-business zoning district in the Town Code.
Planning board members debated whether self-storage qualified as a personal service business under the code. At least one planning board member said self-storage didnt fit the definition. After some discussion and input from the citys building inspector, the planning board determined self-storage is allowable under the Town Code.
The proposed development on the vacant .93-acre lot will include three building, ranging from 1,500 square feet to 3,370 square feet. The facility would include an access-controlled entry gate and video surveillance.
