Placement of metal storage containers on lots within the city for use as permanent storage facilities constitutes a use of such structures other than that for which they were designed and intended. Such placement, except for emergency purposes or in conjunction with construction projects, may negatively impact the aesthetics of neighborhoods in which they are placed, or discourage investment in permanent improvements in such neighborhoods. Metal storage containers may, however, reasonably be utilized to provide alternative permanent storage facilities if their potentially blighting influences and other potential adverse impacts are mitigated. The regulations set forth in this chapter are intended to accomplish such mitigation. (Ord. 3869 § 2, 1998)
