Summary
A conditional rezoning at the former Coliseum site on Telegraph would bring an indoor self-storage facility to a corridor the 2006 Telegraph Tomorrow master plan aimed to keep commercially vibrant. Council Member Gerald Thomas opposes more storage there; planning staff note the contract zoning adds buffering, landscaping, and capped hours.

Impact analysis
No direct city cost; the applicant reduces impervious pavement by 10,000 square feet and adds bioswales and landscaping.
The property owner and future storage operator gain a viable use for a long-vacant building.
Residents who want the Telegraph corridor reserved for retail and commercial uses that generate more activity, per Council Member Thomas's objection.
