The Applicant proposes to build a new 158,371 SF storage facility and parking on an currently empty lot located near the crest of Chalk Hill at 20401 Ventura Blvd., and overlooking the 101 Freeway. The site had previously served as a location for several different restaurants, and most recently was slated to be the site for a new luxury hotel that was approved by the City. However, the SEI Union challenged the approval in court, and the hotel developer decided against spending any more money pursuing the hotel project and put the property up for sale. The site is on the North side of Ventura Blvd., and the proposed self-storage facility is planned to rise 3 stories for storage with an additional 2 basement levels for storage and elevator access. There is also a ground floor office and a retail space along Ventura Blvd. Proposed operating hours are 7 AM – 8 PM, seven days a week.
