CUP No. 76-38-MOD-1 – Extra Space (212-280 N. Sullivan and 2602 W. Fifth streets) December 8, 2025 Page 2 of 9 5 4 2 9 The rental office will continue to operate Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with customer access to storage units available daily from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Architecture and Design The new building features a modern industrial design with a stucco finish, corrugated metal panels, metal canopies and trim, storefront and spandrel glass, and metal roll-up doors. Spandrel glazing will be installed on elevations visible from the street, adding façade articulation and visual breaks to the building planes. The extensive use of glass and aluminum windows also promotes transparency, bringing natural light into the interior spaces and reducing the perceived mass of the structure. Complementary stucco and metal finishes add texture and contrast, ensuring that the building retains its visual quality and resilience over time. On-Site and Off-Site Improvements Site improvements include enhancing the existing landscaped buffer along Sullivan Street with additional plantings to strengthen visual screening and improve overall site appearance, as well as adding a five-foot planting strip along Fifth Street, where landscaping is currently absent. The existing tubular steel fencing along Fifth Street will remain, while the fencing along Sullivan Street will be removed and replaced with new tubular steel fencing at the southern and northern ends of the proposed building to match existing fencing style on site. In addition, the chain link fence along the southerly property line visible from Sullivan Street will be removed and replaced with a six-foot-tall concrete masonry unit (CMU) block wall that will extend west into the site and connect with the existing CMU wall along the southern property line. Along the northerly property line on Sullivan Street, a 15-foot-wide landscaped area will be established against the existing six-foot-tall CMU wall separating the site from the adjacent residence. The landscaped area will feature Berkeley Sedge groundcover, 24-inch box Pacific Wax myrtle trees, and Dwarf Bottlebrush shrubs to provide visual separation and enhance the overall site appearance. New wall pack lighting will be installed along the rear and sides of the proposed building to ensure adequate safety and visibility. The fixtures will be shielded to provide downward illumination, minimizing impacts on the abutting residence. The Project will provide a total of 21 parking spaces, including four electric vehicle-capable stalls and two bicycle parking spaces, exceeding City requirements. Landscaping The landscape plan proposes new 24-inch box Crape Myrtle, Brisbane Box, Pacific Wax Myrtle, London Plane, and African Sumac trees while preserving the existing mature trees on site. Supplemental plantings include Blue Glow Agave, Dwarf Bottlebrush, Variegated Flax Lily, Heavenly Bamboo, Lilac Vine, Berkeley Sedge, and Fine Leaf Myoporum to provide year-round visual interest and drought-tolerant coverage. The sustainable, low- maintenance plant palette is designed to complement the proposed industrial building form and improve the aesthetic quality of the site’s visible frontages.
