A self-storage business is looking to expand its Naperville operations to meet increased demand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Plans call for adding five new, one-story buildings to the Extra Space Storage complex on Ogden Avenue near Raymond Drive. The buildings would contain a total of 169 self-storage units.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Naperville\u2019s planning and zoning commission last week cast an 8-0 advisory vote in support of the proposed project. The zoning request is expected to go before the city council in January.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Extra Space Management Inc., on behalf of the owner, Extra Space Properties Two, LLC, is seeking approval of a major change to the planned unit development, associated deviations and conditional use to allow for the construction of the five self-storage buildings on a vacant site west of the current facility at 1432 W. Ogden Ave. A Walgreens store is across Ogden to the north.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Brendan Penny, an attorney for a firm representing Extra Space, said a \u201ccore motivator\u201d for the proposed project is the demand and \u201cthe use that this site experiences within the city of Naperville and how it services the surrounding municipalities.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n According to a presentation to planning and zoning commissioners, the existing Extra Space self-storage facility boasts an average occupancy of 97%.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The public would be able to access the buildings from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days per week.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A manager will be present on-site from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays, Penny wrote in a letter to a city of Naperville project manager.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
