FACT: The proposed mini -storage project is surrounded primarily by residential,
parkland, child-care facilities, churches, and a seasonal creek. A mini -storage project and

established land use pattern. It is also contrary to the orderly development of the
immediate neighborhood.

mitigation measures were identified to reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. A Draft
