Planning commission approves plans for new mini-storage

Plans for A-1 Self Storage Tehachapi were approved by the Tehachapi Planning Commission on Dec. 11 and will soon come before the City Council for final approval. The new facility will be located at 101 Industrial Parkway just east of Tractor Supply.

Owner Joel Hecht of Carlsbad, Calif. submitted plans for the 102,814 square foot mini storage project with an additional 985 square foot office building. The storage space will be divided into 13 buildings with storage units ranging in size from 5'x5' to 10'x25'. The plans call for attractive earth-tone concrete buildings that will have metal roofing and roll-down doors on the units. Many units will have outdoor access while others will have indoor access. All units will be behind a security gate while the landscaped main office will be facing Industrial Parkway. With the narrowest drive aisle at 27 feet, there is expected to be plenty of room for maneuverability and lengthwise parking space inside the facility.

Pending approval by the City Council, construction is scheduled to begin on Phase One in 2018.
