F. Self-service storage facilities. Self-service storage facilities
have characteristics in common with both commercial uses and industrial
uses. This subsection provides regulations to appropriately site self-service
storage facilities while maintaining the desired character and function

low levels of vehicular and pedestrian activity and do not contribute
to the vitality of a commercial area compared to other commercial
uses. Historically self-service storage facilities have visually resembled
industrial facilities, but some recently constructed facilities have
featured designs compatible with higher-quality commercial development.
If designed appropriately as stand-alone multistory structures that
emulate the exterior architecture of commercial, residential or multifamily,
self-storage uses may be located without adversely impacting Master
Plan goals, zoning intent or the surrounding neighborhood. Thus, self-service
storage facility uses shall adhere to the following conditions:

or repair of vehicles, engines, appliances or other electrical equipment,

that the operator of the self-service storage may conduct a sale or
otherwise liquidate the contents of any storage unit to satisfy and
settle an account of unpaid rent or other charges, through public
or private sale, in a manner provided by law.
(d)
Storage of flammable, perishable or hazardous materials or the
keeping of animals.

of trailer hitches are prohibited.

control only. No electrical outlets are permitted inside individual
