The truth about self-storage design, setbacks, and regulations.
Regulations can vary greatly from town to town.
The shape of the land, topography, wetlands, drainage, flood limits, neighbors, building design, and zoning requirements can have a significant impact on the final building square footage.
Some towns, for example, only permit 50% impervious lot coverage for the buildings and pavement. Other towns do not permit a new self-storage within 3 miles of an existing facility.
Regulated wetland setbacks or wetland buffers often vary from 50 feet to 150 feet from the wetlands. On-site storm drainage detention, if required, can require a half-acre or more land.
High parking requirements in some towns can also limit the number of buildings. In other words, regulations can significantly reduce the amount of self-storage permitted on a given parcel.
