Commission recommends approval for Extra Space Storage rebuild at Denton Tap Road after 2022 fire

On May 6, 2025, the Lewisville Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that City Council approve a special use permit for a self‑service storage facility on approximately 3.97 acres at 2710 Denton Tap Road (High Point Oaks Addition, Lot 3 R 2 Block C). The application, filed by Extra Space Storage Incorporated and Master Plan on behalf of property owner Sovran Acquisitions LP, proposes to rebuild in the footprint of a building that was destroyed by fire in February 2022.

Planning staff said the proposed self‑storage building would contain more than 346 units, meet the Unified Development Code’s requirement that elevations be 80% brick or stone where applicable, and would replant landscaping that had been removed when the previous building was demolished. Staff also noted an existing billboard on the site is retained under an earlier city agreement and thus is not being addressed in the SUP.

Dallas Cothram (listed with a Dallas address) presented for the applicant and described Extra Space as a large, national operator; he said the proposal will create an architecturally improved facility in the same footprint and that staff had been supportive. Commissioners asked for renderings and discussed site visibility and mitigation; the presenter said bay doors are interior to the site and the design would create a more attractive building than the prior structure.

Commissioner Ainsley moved to approve the special use permit; Commissioner Aram seconded and the motion carried, 6‑0. The commission recorded that the City Council will hold a second public hearing and make a final decision on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.
