\nThe Anacortes, Washington, City Council has enacted a six-month moratorium on self storage development in its commercial zones. A public hearing will be held within 60 days to discuss how to address self storage use moving forward, according to the source.<\/p>\n
Though the city hasn\u2019t received any formal land-use applications, there\u2019s been an inquiry from Lance Campbell, principal of Jedi Holdings LLC and owner of Skagit Self Storage in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. Campbell, who\u2019s also a veterinarian, purchased the property at 2821 Commercial Ave. for $2 million earlier this year from Daryl and Teresa Wainman. The couple operated San Juan Lanes Bar & Grill on the site until it closed a year ago. Campbell has spoken with the planning department about potential uses for the property, including apartments, self storage or a veterinary clinic, according to Don Measamer, planning director.<\/p>\n
Several residents have asked the council to keep development land in the city\u2019s core as passive and to not encourage multi-family, retail or general commercial projects, Measamer said.<\/p>\n
Skagit Self Storage at 1320 Moore St. offers drive-up and vehicle storage.<\/p>\n
