Who this typically touches

Business types a matter in this class typically reaches. Our inference from the class, not the record's words; a specific organization is named on these pages only when the record itself names it.

Likely affected: self-storage developers and operators (a prohibition or frontage rule removes a market entirely).

Worth watching: commercial brokers holding candidate sites (a ban strands sites acquired on the prior rule).
