1304 W University Way in Ellensburg,WA <br /> $3,350,000 <br /> 1 sy • y <br /> This property, currently operating as Rodeo City Self Storage, sits directly . <br /> within Ellensburg city limits and is zoned Commercial Highway with no reported <br /> environmental issues.

While the location offers high visibility and proximity to nearby ;; - ,; ,�r: ~ '�4 <br /> residential areas and CWU, converting it into a community building would present = <br /> significant challenges that likely outweigh any benefits. As a highly operational Exhibit 7: University Way <br /> and profitable self-storage facility,this property would require complete and _ <br /> costly demolition and redevelopment. The specialized infrastructure of a storage ;f <br /> facility would not be compatible with the spatial and functional needs of a public <br /> community center, demanding substantial investment in renovation or new : <br /> construction. <br /> Furthermore, a critical limitation for any public facility is the severe lack of <br /> adequate on-site parking. The 1.24-acre lot is mostly developed with storage <br /> units and drive aisles, making it insufficient to handle the parking demands of a <br /> community building, which would naturally attract considerable vehicle traffic. <br /> The elongated, rectangular shape of the parcel also restricts flexible architectural <br /> design, potentially compromising the optimal layout and functionality needed for <br /> a multi-purpose community space. Given these substantial hurdles, this property <br /> would not be a suitable fit for the proposed community building project.' j b <br /> r <br /> Image Credit:Loopnet <br /> 48 Old Heat CERB Feasibility Study <br />
