However, from staff’s 39 perspective, Mr. Lloyd advised that outdoor storage as a land use on the parcel would essentially 40 be the same ad indoor storage; and should create no additional traffic, since the CONDITIONAL 41 USE was a permitted use, and this request to move storage from inside to outside, not to expand 42 their storage capacity, and therefore it should create no additional traffic issues. 43
