From the transcript
If it's a brand new situation, I think it should be evaluated, and that's why I don't intend to support the motion. Commissioner Krishna. I, I don't intend to support this motion either. Um, maybe it's just been the self-storage facilities and storage yards I've encountered in Anchorage, but I don't see them as being primarily street frontage and, um, uses that are oriented towards the street and offer pedestrians direct access, or, um, I, I see them as being potentially more appropriate for more industrial types of land. And so I do think that— I do agree with the general intent of the B-3 district as we have drafted in this ordinance, and don't think I'll support this one.
