H. Interior Self Storage Buildings shall be designed and constructed so that they are
compatible with adjoining commercial buildings. In addition, the following performance
standards shall also apply to the design and development of interior self-storage units:
(1) All storage units shall gain access from the interior of the building, no individual
unit doors may face the street or be visible from an adjoining property.
(2) One entrance and one exit overhead door shall be allowed. Whenever possible,

include a retail space for the self-storage office. Tenant spaces shall extend at least 50%
