The city currently has 19 personal storage facilities, with two more under construction. Four additional facilities are located just outside the city limits.
Gloria Torres has lived in her Elk Grove home for more than 30 years. She said the view from her front window once included a grove of mature oak trees.
"I woke up one day and said, 'Oh my God, what is this?'" Torres said.
"I look at that and I feel like I'm almost looking like a prison," she said.
"Concerns have been expressed by council, staff and residents regarding the proliferation of personal storage facilities in the city," said Sarah Kirchgessner, a senior planner with the city.
"I do actually get complaints from time to time on the amount of storage units that are in our city," Singh-Allen said.
Last week, the city's Planning Commission recommended placing an indefinite moratorium on new personal storage facilities while the city considers potential changes to its rules.
"A lot of people moving, that's mostly what people use storage for," said Renie Bartman, who manages a storage facility in Elk Grove.
"Especially here, you have a lot of residential folks, but we also have businesses that utilize it, so I don't know if banning it, especially for small businesses, is really a good idea," Bartman said.
Torres said she isn't opposed to storage facilities altogether, but believes the city needs to take a closer look at how many are being built and where they are located.
A moratorium would give the city time to consider whether to permanently ban new personal storage facilities or impose additional restrictions and development standards.
The proposal will now go before the Elk Grove City Council, which must vote on the moratorium before it can take effect.
