A Baton Rouge-based self-storage company plans to build a storage facility on the 2-acre lot in front of the Tin Roof Brewery on Nicholson Drive.
James Jenkins III, construction project manager for ClimaStor, filed an application with the city parish to have the lot rezoned from a mixture of current zonings—light commercial, heavy commercial, commercial alcohol beverage and light industrial use—to heavy commercial use only.
The application says the developer plans to build a self-storage facility on the property “to meet current market demands.” The property fronts Nicholson Drive, roughly 2 miles from LSU, and is also bordered by McClung and Wyoming streets.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor’s Office website lists Nicholson-Wampold LLC, whose manager is local developer Mike Wampold, as the property’s owner.
Representatives of Tin Roof Brewery did not respond to requests for comment before this afternoon’s publication deadline.
