MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Town Council
Michael J. Driscoll, Town Manager
From: Steve Magoon, DCDP Director/Assistant Town Manager
Date: February 21, 2018
Subject: Self Storage
In accordance with the direction of the Honorable Town Council at their meeting on February 13, 2018,
staff has developed a Zoning Text Amendment to prohibit Self Storage as a land use in Watertown.
This would be accomplished by amending the Zoning Ordinance, Article V, Table of Use Regulations,
Section 5.01.5 (i) for this land use category from “SP/SR” to “N” in the I-1 and I-2 districts and by striking
Self Storage facility from Article VI, the Automotive and Bicycle Parking Requirements.
I would respectfully request that this Zoning Amendment be placed on the Honorable Town Council
agenda for a first reading and referral to the Planning Board for public hearing.
Cc: Planning Board
Mark Reich, Town Attorney, KP Law
