The zoning on Alturas Road north of Ammunition Road will require a county discretionary permit for a self-storage facility, and the Fallbrook Community Planning Group recommended approval of that permit with the condition of modification to the driveway configuration.

A 13-0 planning group vote Sept. 18, with J.J. Neese and Debbie Williams absent, approved the recommendation. The self-storage facility would be on two legal parcels.

“We asked them to change the driveways, and they were happy to do that for us,” said planning group chair Eileen Delaney.

The entrance driveway will be one way and the exit driveway will be one way. “The last thing we want to do is have people come in and out the same driveway,” Delaney said. “It blocks the intersection.”

The facility would provide community benefits to those who don’t use the self-storage service. “They’re going to be doing a lot of upgrades on the storm drain there,” Delaney said.
