The New Castle County Land Use Committee heard a presentation on a proposed self-storage development by Delaware Storage Solutions in Mill Creek Hundred.

Councilman Sheldon, sponsor of the item, said the plan would convert a site behind Kirkwood Highway — behind Ferris Renovation and Richardson's Flower Market — into a self-storage facility. “Those are houses in the back that'll be tore down,” Sheldon said, adding that the parcel is zoned for the proposed use and that he had not heard adverse responses from neighbors.

Committee members and staff reported no public commenters at the meeting. The chair said the item will appear on the committee's agenda for formal consideration at the next step in the process.

Background: The proposal will remove existing residential structures at the rear of the parcel; council discussion concentrated on zoning and visibility from Route 13. No formal vote or permit decision was made during the committee meeting.
