BACKGROUND
Site Characteristics
The project site is a 3.29-acre property located on the west side of Wilson Avenue
south of Civic Center Drive. The property is developed with a large (70,000 square feet)
industrial building. The previous tenant was CP Manufacturing, a company that
manufactured recycling equipment (metal fabrication, painting, etc.) The building is
currently vacant and in poor repair.
History
The Planning Commission voted to initiate the Specific Plan Amendment at their meeting
of August 5, 2013. The applicant has since also applied for a Conditional Use Permit that
is being processed concurrently with the amendment.
Proposal
Since the property was vacated, the property owner has been courting prospective
tenants for the building that do not involve industrial -type uses. U-Haul has been in
communication with the owner and wishes to locate a self -storage facility, including
rental vehicles, at this location. However, as things stand, this is not a currently
permitted use within the Westside Specific Plan area and would need to be added to
the allowable uses in order to operate. To that end, U-Haul submitted this Specific Plan
Amendment in order to add `Self -Storage Facility with Accessory Truck Rental' (subject
to a Conditional Use Permit) to Appendix A (Land Use) of the Westside Specific Plan.
Analysis
The subject property is a unique lot in that it is long and skinny. Although it is over 970
feet long, it is only 183 deep. It is also developed with a large building that covers about
half of the lot. With a storage lot at the south end and a large parking lot on the north end,
the lot is suited for a large-scale manufacturing use.
Per the City's Non -Conforming Use Ordinance, a use may continue provided that it does
not lapse for more than 12 months. In this case, the property owner has until the end of
the year before losing the lawful non -conforming status. The owner has received interest
from another industrial manufacturing company that can move in right away; however, the
owner would prefer a new use that would be more of an upgrade to the area. They have
stated that prospective industrial tenants are only interested in moving to the building as
is, and do not wish to spend any money on building upgrades.
The amendment would affect the Limited Commercial (CL) zone in the Westside
Specific Plan area. The CL zone is located on the west side of Wilson Avenue between
Civic Center Drive and Mile of Cars Way. Issues to consider are mostly related to traffic,
given the history of large trucks in the area and their associated impacts (pollution and
noise). In the case of U-Haul, only gasoline -powered vehicles are used in their rental
fleet, which are smaller and less polluting than diesel -powered semi -trucks. They are
also significantly quieter.
Given that this use and any future such use would be subject to a Conditional Use
Permit, the use would be analyzed on a case by case basis to ensure that any impacts
to surrounding uses are minimal. The CUP requirement would also allow staff to
mandate other conditions as required.
The property is located at the confluence of two major rights -of -way — Interstate 5 and
Civic Center Drive. As such, most vehicles going to and from Lhe area wouiii likely be
utilizing those streets to exit and/or move throughout the City. Therefore, the subject
property would be a better candidate for such a use than other parcels located further
south on Wilson Avenue.
Property Condition
The applicant provided a Phase I Environmental Assessment for the property that was
recently conducted. The assessment indicated potential issues with an underground
storage tank, contaminated soils, maintenance of storm water filtration equipment, and
asbestos/lead-based paint -containing materials. U-Haul has committed to remedying
these items, which are included as Conditions of Approval.
U-Haul wishes to purchase the property outright. They have proposed adaptive reuse of
the existing building that would represent a roughly $5 million investment in the
property. Improvements would include a new exterior facade, new roof, extensive
landscaping, and a new rental showroom. The facility would be primarily self -storage,
but would also offer truck and trailer rental, sales of packing and moving supplies, and
installation of tow hitches.
In the case of U-Haul, the company operates only gasoline -powered vehicles (no
diesel). The company follows a fairly consistent pattern with regard to new outlets,
which allows for potential results to be known ahead of time. For example, a standard -
sized facility generates approximately $2.5 million in taxes over a ten-year period
(average of existing locations).
Other area U-Haul locations also have high rates of local employment. According to the
applicant, there are local hiring numbers as high as 90% in Oceanside and almost
100% in Escondido. U-Haul also has a Re -Use program to reduce the amount of used
goods being dumped. Re -use centers allow for customers to leave their unwanted but
reusable belongings, such as furniture, for others to take.
Traffic/Circulation
U-Haul generally serves the community within 3 lz miles of the outlet. The eventuai
number of trucks is anticipated to be 40-45, based on use in the San Diego Metro area.
A Condition of Approval limits the maximum number to 50. Conditions also require only
non -diesel vehicles and require that all vehicles be stored on site (not on adjacent city
streets).
According to U-Haul, storage and rental centers generate Tess and lighter vehicle traffic
than a comparably -sized industrial or commercial use. For example, a typical center of
80,000 square feet (10,000 square feet larger than the subject building) would generate
approximately 31 average daily trips (ADT) on a weekday and 53 on a weekend day.
Traffic generation data provided for another project by a traffic engineer for the
applicant indicated an average trip generation rate of 0.36 ADT per 1,000 square feet
for a weekday and 0.72 on a weekend day. This would be 25.2 ADT and 50.4 ADT
respectively for the subject p opei y. The previous industrial use would have generated
approximately 280 ADT, per information provided by SANDAG. Based on the low
expected ADT and access to the freeway, staff is of the opinion that the facility would
not have a significant impact on traffic in the area.
The majority of parking spaces are to be located on the north end of the property.
Rental truck pick up and drop off would be in the north yard, with overflow space
available in the south yard. 11 standard vehicle parking spaces, including two
handicapped -accessible spaces are to be located adjacent to the smaller single story
metal building located at the north end of the main building. The total retail area of this
building would be 2,065 square feet, which would require 9 parking spaces.
The Land Use Code does not specify how much parking is required for a self -storage
warehouse. However, U-Haul Centers are not typical mini -warehouse facilities. Their
unique design allows patrons to load and unload vehicles at special loading spaces (the
south end of the subject building in this case). These spaces are located immediately
adjacent to the building and provide internal access to each self -storage unit via
corridors and elevators. Typical mini -warehouse storage is configured in long rows of
storage units accessed form garage -type doors via private common alley/roadways.
Trip generation data from a similar standard U-Haul facility (O'Fallon U-Haul Center in
Missouri) for customers accessing self -storage units in the main building during peak
times indicated that only five spaces were generally needed (including for the retail
component). Therefore, 11 dedicated parking spaces appear sufficient. There is also
ample room for overflow parking given the large north and south yard areas.
Adjacent uses
There are relatively few residential properties located along Wilson Avenue in this
location, which would reduce the amount of residents affected by the use. Of the 14
properties located on this portion of Wilson Avenue (two blocks) developed with the
subject property, five contain residential units (36%).The smaller and quieter trucks,
most of which would likely be heading north on Wiison, would have iess of an impact
than the large diesel semis that previously utilized the site.
CEQA
The project is Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Class 1 Section 15301. This section allows for conversion of
existing facilities.
Summary
The requirement for a Conditional Use Permit would allow analysis of potential issues to
ensure appropriate placement of such businesses. Additional studies regarding traffic,
parking, etc. would be required or conditioned on a case by case basis. More importantly,
approving the Specific Plan Amendment would not result in automatic permission to build
a self storage facility anywhere in the CL zone.
The proposed use will be an upgrade, both environmentally and aesthetically, on the
area. The unique location of the property close to major thoroughfares allows efficient
access to and from the property without creating significant impacts on neighboring
properties. Based on the low expected ADT and access to the freeway, the facility will
not have a significant impact on traffic or traffic -related pollution in the area, but rather
would reduce such impacts.

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF
A SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT ADDING "SELF -STORAGE FACILITY
WITH ACCESSORY TRUCK RENTAL" TO APPENDIX A OF THE
WESTSIDE SPECIFIC PLAN AS A CONDI T ZONALLY -ALLOWED USE
IN THE LIMITED COMMERCIAL (CL) ZONE
2013-20 SPA
1. That the proposed amendment is in the public interest and is consistent with
General Plan policy, as a Conditional Use Permit would be required for any new
self -storage and/or truck rentai facility, which would assure compliance with General
Plan policies regarding vehicle traffic.
2. That the proposed amendment will allow for conversion of existing industrial uses to
cleaner non -industrial uses within the CL zone, which is intended for service -related
commercial uses, including storage and equipment rental.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
2013-20 CUP — 1300 Wilson Ave.
1 That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the
proposed use would be contained within the existing building envelope, and all
activities would be contained on the subject site.
2. That the site has sufficient access to Wilson Avenue and Civic Center Drive, both
Collector streets with direct access to Interstate 5, operating at a Level of Service
(LOS) of A and C respectively, to accommodate the approximate maximum of 5
average daily trips (ADT).

NARRATIVE PROJECT SUMMARY
AMERCO Real Estate Company (AREC) is interested in purchasing the property
located at 1500 Wilson Avenue (APN: 5590611500). AREC is the wholly owned
real estate subsidiary of the U-Haul System.
AREC is submitting this narrative for the opportunity to receive the participation
and counseling from the City of National City in regards to a text amendment to
add self -storage and truck and trailer rental as conditionally permitted uses to the
CL zone.
The property at Wilson Avenue is currently developed and U-Haul proposes an
adaptive re -use of the existing building; which incorporates self -storage, truck
and trailer rental, and retail services. The north portion of the property, along
Civic Center Drive, would provide customer parking and display U-Haul trucks
and trailers. The showroom, hitch bays, and self -storage would be positioned
towards the north side of the building. The typical U-Haul office is approximately
2,500 s.f. in size. U-Haul is proposing truck and trailer rental but the number of
trucks has not yet been determined. The placement of these trucks and trailers
is also unknown at this time.
The property is currently zoned 'CL within the VVest Side Specific Plan' that does
not allow self -storage or truck rentai and will require a text amendment. We ;eel
U-Haul would be an appropriate use for the property due to the close proximity to
a main arterial street, Civic Center Drive, and a major freeway, San Diego
Freeway 1-5. U-Haul is more of a commercial type use that serves the residential
communities within a 3-5 mile radius unlike the existing industrial type uses found
to the south, west, and north side. U-Haul moving and storage facilities act as a
g Vod transition frVrindustrial uses to residential such O. the homes found to the
east of the property. In fact, there are proven benefits for allowing self storage
facilities in communities:
Q Self storage facilities are quiet
c They provide an excellent buffer between zones
• They create very little traffic
• They have little impact on utilities
• They have no impact on schools
• They provide a good tax revenue
• They provide a community service
U-Haul moving and storage are convenience businesses. Our philosophy is to
place centers in high growth residential areas, where we fill a need for our
products and services. Customers are made aware of the U-Haul center,
primarily via drive -by awareness, much like that of a convenience store,
restaurant or hardware store. Attractive imaging and brand name recognition
bring in area residents r by our measures, those who live within a four -mile
radius of the center.
Custom site design for every U-Hau! moving and storage center assures that
the facility compliments the community it serves by architectural compatibility
and attractive landscaping. Adherence to community objectives is key, so that
the U-Haul moving and storage center is a neighborhood asset, and is
assured of economic success.
U-Haul looks forward to working with National City and we look forward to your
consideration of the conceptual development plan that we are submitting at this
time. Please provide us with your feedback and any comments you may have.
THE U-HAUL MOVING AND STORAGE FACILITY
U-Haul moving and storage centers characteristically serve the do-it-yourself
household customer. In a typical day at U-Haul, the center will be staffed with a
general manager and two to three customer service representatives. Families
will generally arrive in their own automobiles, enter the showroom and may
choose from a variety of products and services offered there.
• Families typically use U-Haul self -storage facilities to store furniture, household
goods, sporting equipment or holiday decorations. Often prompted by moving
to a smaller home, combining households or clearing away clutter to prepare a
home for sale, storage customers will typically rent a room for a period of two
months to one year.
• U-Haul moving and storage centers also rent trucks and trailers for household
moving, either in -town or across country.
• Families who need packing supplies in advance of a move or to ship personal
packages can choose from a variety of retail sales items, including cartons,
tape and packing materials.
• Families who tow U-Haul trailers, boats or recreational trailers can select and
have installed the hitch and towing packages which best meet their needs.
• Moving and storage are synergistic businesses. Over half of our storage
customers tell us they used U-Haul storage because of a household move.
Customers will typically rent U-Haul equipment or use their personal vehicle to
approach the loading area and enter the building through the singular customer
access. All new storage facilities are designed with interior storage room
access, giving the customer the added value of increased security, and the
community the benefit of a more aesthetically pleasing exterior.
SIGNIFICANT POLICIES:
• Hours of Operation:
Mon. - Thurs. 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Fri. 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Sat. 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sun. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• All U-Haul storage customers are issued a card -swipe style identification card
that must be used to gain access to their room. This is but one of many
security policies which protect the customers belongings and decrease the
ability of unauthorized access to the facility.
▪ It is against policy for a business to be operated from a U-Haul storage room.
• Customers and community residents who wish to use the on -site dumpsters
for disposing of refuse must gain permission to do so, and are assessed an
additional fee.
• Items that may not be stored, include: chemicals, flammables, and paints.
• U-Haul facilities are protected by video surveillance.
• U-Haul moving and storage centers are non-smoking facilities.
• U-Haul will provide added service and assistance to our customers with
disabilities.
