RE: CitySide Storage (H-2023-0058)
I serve as a Director of the Bienville Square Subdivision No. 3 Homeowners Association Inc (BS#3-HOA), which is directly
west of the proposed CitySide Storage project in the Bienville Square Commercial Subdivision on Eagle Road.
The board of the BS#3-HOA reviewed the proposed site plan and renderings with the applicant this week, including
height, entrance points, screening walls, and fit with the neighborhood. We also reviewed a rendering showing the
building from the NW on N Cajun Lane. The applicant also described the new “pocket park” they proposed in their site
plan at the southeast corner of their property (ie, Eagle and the irrigation canal), featuring open-space, benches and
possibly artwork. This new park would tie into the existing pathway that loops through our neighborhood and is used
extensively by our residents.
We prefer the use of self-storage over other uses primarily due to the low traffic it would generate through our
neighborhood. Other benefits include minimal parking conflicts and low noise associated with the proposed self-storage
facility, as well as the ability to utilize the facility for our own residents’ storage.
The BS#3-HOA supports the CitySide Storage project as proposed by the applicant at the Planning and Zoning
Commission public hearing on March 21, 2024.
