1, F
OFF-MIL:USE STOR4(-*9
Some people wo!:'t 1)e able to store major equipment at their homes because of
inadequate access to permissible ca-premise storage areas or for other reasons.
Some won't want to park such equipment cn the lot except when they are about
to use it. In many areas, climatic and vacation patterns will lead substan-
tial numbers to seek off -premise storage during seasons when equipment will
not be actively used.
Commercial and group storage, now in its infancy, will gain momentum in the
years ahead as ownership of such equipment bourns. Permutations r,m off in
all directions, including facilities accessory to dealerships, ma.inas, and
parks for portable vacation housing; dead storage (involving no maintenance
and repair Facilities or only a bare minimum cf "mothballing" and "Jemothbal-
liug" services) on open Lots, in open shelteis or in completely enclosed
buildings; and combined storage and maintenance and repair operations. "Main-
tenance and repair" will sometimes be minor, but sometimes will take on the
character of autca•••t.ila body shops or boat yards. And storage of all kinds
involves the danger of creeping junkyardism.
Sorting things out, there are areas where commercial storage, including a broad
range of maintenance and repair operations and even salvage and junk o-erations
should be permissible with a minimum of special regulation. At the other end
of the scale, there are areas where even dead storage with minimum servicing
will require careful and sometimes specialized control, and of course areas
where any kind of group storage is out of place.
Industr?al Districts. -- In conventional industrial districts, there should be
no objection to commercial storage of major recreational equipment. in indus-
trial districts prohibiting or limiting salvage aid junking operations, simi-
lar prohibition of limits should clearly apply to recreational equipment.
Where accumulation of Junkers, for on -site processing or not, Is to be barred,
regulatory language along the lines suggested for storage on residential
premises can be usad, adapted by eliminating the residential reference anJ
substituting "industrial" and perhaps by increasing the term during which
nonfunctional equipment may be stored to nine months or a year.
Heavy Comnercial Districts. -- As a reasonable rule of thumb, storage of equip-
ment which also involves major maintenance and repair services (welding, body
or frame straightening, refinishing, and the like) should be restricted to dis-
tricts in which similar services are permitted for autemJtiVe vehicles, and
subject to the same kind of specific limitations or performance standards on
the manner in which major repair is conducted. AnCi-juak provisions should
certainly be inserted here unless no such safeguards are provided for other
uses (and if they are not, the solution to the problem of equity is to pro-
hibit storage and processing of junkers, automotive or otherwise).
Licht Commercial Districts. -- Where it is logical to permit dealers' lots for
storage or display of new and used major recreational equipment, commercial
storage would also be appropriate. In either case, specified types of main-
tenance and repair might be permitted as accessory uses, perhaps with the re-
quirement that such operations must be conducted within completely enclosed
=• �fY1�r►aMWhu..Marr. v..,. . n.�u.. ,wrFvwwsfr� s
buildings. Again there is need for regulations limiting accumulation of ob-
solete units. As a guide to appropriate district classification, sale of new
and used automobiles might serve generally, with a further break,10-on possible
according to size of the recreational equipment involved. (Here it would be
possible to use the same breakpoint on height as for storage in required yards,
allowing equipment under six feet in height to be stored in some areas from
which higher equipment would be excluded, but this refinement probably isn't
necessary and would lead to complications on utility of the arrangement. The
man with a boat and a travel trailer couldn't store both at the same location.)
As Special Exceptions in ]liph, 1v Restricted Areas. -- In the most highly re-
stricted commercial areas, and in transitional districts between residential
and other zones, there may be justification for usu of special exception tech-
niques, allowing for consideration of the fadividual site. Here, general
stand :s should of course be established, but special conditions and safe-
guards could he added as appropriate to the particular case. Conaiderati.ons
involved here would include:
(a) Location. The site should have access to a major street without creating
traffic on portions of minor streets in residential neighborheods. As a prac-
tical matter (probably not included in regulations) it should be as near as
practicable to the "markeL area" it is intended to serve, since convenience of
location willencourage use of the group facility instead of on -premise parkinl:
at residences. Location should minimize potential adverse effects on adjoin-
ing residential property, or should be adapted to screening to prevent such
adverse effects.
(b) Use ].imitations. In these most restricted locations, it is probable that
only dead storage and service reasonably necessary for preparing for storage
or bringing units out of storage should be permitted. Repairs all,naable should
be restricted to those of a minor and emergency nature only -- repair of tires,
running lights and electrical systems, and so forth -- and might be required
to be in completely enclosed buildings or on portions of the lot remote from
sensitive neighbors. "Mothballing" (or vice versa) suggests reasonable need
for appioved facilities for emptying and flushing holding Lanks, filling or
emptying wc,ter tanks, inflating tires, and similar oper3tions, usually sales:
of bottled g:s, special gasoline for stoves and lanterns, fuel oil, and simi-
lar specialized convenience goods should be prohibited in these highly re-
stricLed facilities, partly because they tend to expand into other fields and
partly because they are not essential to getting the unit on the road saicly.
(c) Size of tiact. Here any general rule would be too general, but there are
some considerations which night be helpful in setting local minimums, if they
are felt to be essential. Unless commercial storage is accessory to some other
business, it is going to have to return a profit by rendering at least a mint -
mum level of services with at least a minimum level of improvements. Depending
on the local scale of charges ($5 per month? $107 $157), the cost of the in-
stallation (land, fencing, screening, utilities, buildings, lighting, facili-
ties for emptying holding tanks, and so on) and the cost of operation (opera-
tor, guard service, wiscullancous operating expenses) how many spaces will be.
required to give a ieasonable chance for success? How much room will shay
take, allowing for required perimeter yards, spacing between units, access -
ways, and service areas! That should set the minimum for an independent op-
cration. For commercial storage as accessory to another use, other factors
come into play, but the independent storag operation clearly can't be suc-
cessful on a postage -stamp lot.
(d) Design. Here, review will be concerned primarily with entrances and
exits, which should allow fur safe ingress and egress for equipu,ent. and hauling
vehicles, with location of service areas, with internal road layout and spacing
between stored units, and with perimeter yards and screening. Spacing betweer
inuividual units should Le sufficient to give at least minimum protection
against fire, and substantial open space in the form of roads or otherwise or
firewalls should protect against spread of fire from one group of units to
another. (As a detail related to design, avoid screening regulations which
require that visibility be blocked at access points. Use visibility triangles.)
(e) Required yards. Adjacent to residential districts, yards might well be
required to conform to corresponding residential. minimums. Such yards should
not be used as important internal circulation routes, unless there is substan-
tial screening between the roadway and the residential boundary. Elsewhere,
yards should of course conform to general requirements for the district in
which the facility is located; and perimeter yards, required or other, have the
advantage of making surveillance easier. Often roadways can be located in
such yards to avoid wasted space and allow for convenient circulation.
(f) Fencing and screening. Complete fencing with locked or guarded gates
should usui4ly be required except in locations or under management assuring
eecurity. Recreational equipment in dead storage is attractive to children
and also to the light-fingered. As to screening, it should normally be re-
quircd where property adjoins land which is in residentini use and may be ap-
propriate in other locations, depending on the character of the enviromnent.
Where fencing and/or screening are to be used, there should be stipulations
as to general types and maintenance.
(g) Lighting. In many cases, lighting will be an important element in Saar
city, as well as a convenience for owners of equipment arriving or leaving
after dark. The principal regulatory concern here will normally be protection
of adjacent residential property from glare. Ordinance language should re-
quire that all. lights illmmiinatir,the p�:cmises shall be so located, directed,
and shielded that no source of illumination is visible at any residential
property line, and might well specify shielding to protect residential proper-
ty against automobile headlights.
(h) 81?ns. An identification sign will he necessary under most: circumstances,
and if the facility is to be operated after dark illumination of the sign
should be permissible. Obviously there is no reason for allowing unlimited
number, size, or character of signs, particularly in highly restricted areas.
One double-faced sign perpendicular to the street or highway at the principal
entrance, or two single -faced signs, one on esch side of the entrance, should
be adequate, and 24-30 square feet of sign surface area should be enough.
(i) Operatiq. The recreational enthusiast is often an early riser prone to
joyful outcries, and may return late, tired, and careless of the noise in-
volved in returning to normalcy. Where the storage facility is close to resi-
dences, a certain lack of sy: -thy may develop unless steps are taken to con-
trol operations on the storage lot. Several courses are open, depending o0
the circumstances of the case. In conditions attached to the special excep-
tion, management can be adwnishod to keep it quiet or have it shut down. The
entire lot can be limited as to hours of access. (This is likely to result
in a compromise which doesn't satisfy everybody, but 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
would probably suit the neighbors.) As a more practical solution, hours of
access to 'he portion of the lot naanost to residential prop-rty could be
limited more severely, say 8 a.m. to g p.m., leaving a more distant section
for activity earlier or later.
