But amenity=storage makes sense. Because so many self-storage facilities are businesses, owned by different companies, landuse= is less appropriate. Amenity=storage would lie within landuse=commercial or, in some instances landuse=industrial, with operator= or name= for the firm, and self_storage=yes. Internal driveways, parking, buildings, and external fences and gates could be mapped if desired. </div><div><br></div><div>Ed</div></body></html>
