Project Narrative
AMERCO Real Estate Company (AREC) has prepared this Development Agreement modification application package, for
the opportunity to receive Meridian City's participation and counseling regarding the property located at 1230-1250 E
Overland Rd., Meridian, ID 83642.
AREC is the wholly owned real estate subsidiary of the U-Haul System.
U-Haul is proposing a U-Haul Moving and Storage Store, which will consist of key uses of self-storage, U-Haul truck and
trailer sharing, and related retail sales. This infill development will allow U-Haul to better serve the storage needs of the
community and activate a property that is currently vacant. The property is zoned CG and, the uses of U-Haul require a
CUP (conditional use permit). U-Haul has already applied for the CUP and the application is currently being processed by
the Meridian City staff.
For the U-Haul use of U-Haul truck and trailer sharing to be permitted on this location, a Development Agreement
Modification is required. U-Haul is applying for the modification of the Development Agreement 100029704, between the
City of Meridian, a municipal corporation of the State of Idaho and Overland Storage, L.L.C., an Idaho Limited Liability
Company.

U-Haul Moving and Storage Facility characteristics:
Custom site design for every U-Haul store assures that the facility complements the community it serves. Adherence to
community objectives is key to ensuring that each U-Haul store is both a neighborhood asset and an economic success.
U-Haul is more of a commercial type use that serves the residential communities within a 3-5-mile radius. We feel the U-
Haul would be an appropriate use for the property and there are proven benefits for allowing self-storage facilities in
communities:
• Self-storage facilities are quiet
• They provide an excellent buffer between zones
• They create very little traffic
• They have little impact on utilities
• They have no impact on schools
• They provide a good tax revenue
• They provide a community service
U-Haul Moving and Storage is a convenience business. Our philosophy is to place U-Haul stores in high growth
residential areas, where we fill a need for our products and services. Customers are made aware of the U-Haul store,
primarily via drive-by awareness, much like that of a convenience store, restaurant or hardware store. Attractive imaging
and brand name recognition bring in area residents — by our measures, those who live within a four-mile radius of the
center.
The U-Haul Store:
U-Haul stores characteristically serve the do-it-yourself household customer. The U-Haul Store will be staffed with 10-15
employees, both full-time and part-time. Families will generally arrive in their own automobiles, enter the showroom and
may choose from a variety of products and services offered there. When situated near public transit, approximately 50%
of those families utilize alternative transportation to access U-Haul equipment and services.
• Families typically use U-Haul Self-Storage rooms to store furniture, household goods, sporting equipment, or
holiday decorations. During transition periods between moves, moving to a smaller home, combining households,
or clearing away clutter to prepare a home for sale, storage customers will typically rent a room for a period of two
months to one year.
• U-Haul stores also provide truck and trailer sharing for household moving, either in-town or across country.
• Families who need packing supplies in advance of a move or to ship personal packages can choose from a
variety of retail sales items, including cartons, tape and sustainable packing materials.
• Families who tow U-Haul trailers, boats, or recreational trailers can select, and have installed, the hitch and
towing packages that best meet their needs.
• Moving and storage are synergistic businesses. Over half of our storage customers tell us they used U-Haul
storage because of a household move. Customers will typically use U-Haul equipment or their personal vehicle to
approach the loading area and enter the building through the singular customer access. All new U-Haul stores
are designed with interior storage room access, giving the customer the added value of increased security, and
the community the benefit of a more aesthetically pleasing exterior.
Significant Policies:
• Hours of Operation:
Mon. -Thurs. 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Fri. 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Sat. 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sun. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• All U-Haul storage customers are issued a card-swipe style identification card that must be used to gain access to
their room. This is but one of many security policies which protect the customer's belongings and decrease the
ability of unauthorized access to the facility.
• It is against policy for a business to be operated from a U-Haul storage room.
• Customers and community residents who wish to use the on-site dumpsters for disposing of refuse must gain
permission to do so and are assessed an additional fee.
• Items that may not be stored include: chemicals, flammables, and paints.
• U-Haul stores are protected by video surveillance.
• U-Haul stores are non-smoking facilities.
• U-Haul will provide added services and assistance to our customers with disabilities.
Traffic Study:
• U-Haul stores generate less vehicular traffic volume while still embodying an active-use site. Truck and trailer
sharing, and self-storage all represent dynamic transitions from one customer to another. DIY moving customers
are presented with opportunities to utilize equipment and storage on a temporary basis, supporting a shared-
economy, an effective economic model, and an environmentally-sound way to conduct business.
