A Lakewood developer's project to build a four-story self-storage facility on vacant land on westbound Route 70 in Cherry Hill is scheduled to go to the Township zoning board at its February 1 meeting.
Cherry Hill 70 Partners LLC has applied for a use variance in the business zone to build the 118,200-square-foot building at the corner of Route 70 and South Union Avenue. The storage facility is not a permitted use in the zone.
The project would be on four lots totaling 1.7 acres of land next to the Body Shop by DiEva car repair shop.
The L-shaped property that would be the site of the storage facility is outlined in in yellow.

Gelmarc Distributors Inc., a restaurant equipment distributor, owns the property, where warehousing and light industrial buildings were located before they were demolished, according to a review of the application by the Township Community Development Department.
The developer would buy the land from Gelmarc, according to the application.
Trojan Self Storage, mentioned as the operator in the application, is a California-based self-storage company with buildings in several states.
An operations report from the developer stated the facility would operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except on Sunday when the hours would be 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cherry Hill 70 Partners is not seeking site plan approval.
