U-Haul wants to add a 130,000-gallon water storage tank and a fire pump building to its planned Spencer Street self-storage complex in Manchester.
Plainville-based U-Haul Co. of Central Connecticut is asking the town Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the site plan modification at its next meeting on May 18.
The property at 99 Spencer St. spans 7.1 acres between Spencer Street and Interstate 384.
In January 2025, the commission approved the new U-Haul complex, which will be the company’s second self-storage facility in Manchester.
The project includes building a three-story, 36,419-square-foot retail and self-storage facility with 670 units fronting Spencer Street, plus a separate 13,785-square-foot structure set back from the road that will store U-Box transportable containers.
Two single-family homes and a barn previously on the property have been removed.
The new tank would sit north of the rear building, measuring roughly 30 feet in diameter and 26 feet tall, with a carbon steel bolted-panel design. A 27-by-10-foot addition would house a fire pump connected to the tank and the building’s sprinkler system.
Project documents estimate the facility will employ 15 people across the two buildings and generate about 58 vehicle trips per day. The property is in the town’s General Business zone.
