Project Location and History <br />Bully Self Storage is strategically situated within the REDA district, an area characterized by a diverse mix <br />of commercial and industrial activities. This location is surrounded by several non-conforming entities, <br />including a concrete plant, a racetrack, a solar plant, and a rock quarry. Our objective is to establish a <br />self-storage facility that not only meets the needs of the community but also maintains a harmonious <br />relationship with the existing commercial landscape. <br />The request for this parcel is to rezone the existing parcel from agricultural residential to REDA-CD-1. <br />The existing parcel falls within the NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Small Area Plan. It consists of 80.52 <br />acres, proposing and initial build of 3 buildings with demand extending to 41 buildings. The total <br />development holds an area of 150,550 square feet. Upon BOCC approval the existing parcel will be <br />subdivided into an approximate 11.22-acre and 69.33-acre tract for the proposed storage facility. The <br />project is broken down into 10 phases. The proposed construction will begin in the 2025 year, <br />depending on supply chain and material availability the completion date varies. Tentative scheduling <br />pending BOCC approval on March 5th 2025 land disturbance to commence on the following week and <br />continue until May. Construction will begin May and continue until August. The current utilities of the <br />Orange County Kart Speedway will be repurposed to the storage facility. Reducing water usage, <br />wastewater and pollutants to the surrounding areas. <br /> <br />Location Context: <br /> <br />The REDA district is designed to foster economic development, and Bully Self Storage is ideally <br />positioned to capitalize on this vision. The surrounding non-conforming entities provide a dynamic <br />backdrop that enhances the appeal of our facility. There are 5 main entities in the surrounding area. <br /> <br />1. Concrete Plant: The nearby concrete plant operates as a key player in the local construction <br />industry.

Race Track: The race track contributes to the vibrant energy of the district, attracting large <br />crowds for events. Bully Self Storage plans to offer tailored services for event participants and <br />attendees, ensuring our operations complement the race track’s activities without causing <br />disruption. <br /> <br />3.

Bully <br />Self Storage intends to adopt environmentally friendly practices, such as energy-efficient lighting <br />and potential renewable energy solutions, thereby enhancing our compatibility with the green <br />initiatives of the solar facility. <br /> <br />4.
