Questions before choosing

Can a temporary street permit cover permanent storage?

The City’s temporary no-parking system addresses moving trucks, moving containers and temporary dumpsters. It does not establish permission for ongoing container storage or occupied use of a property. Ask Streets about the delivery operation and L&I about the site and use.

How do I start the property review?

Use the City’s zoning resources to identify the parcel’s current zoning and describe the proposed use and installation to L&I. The City says zoning is one step; other construction permits or licenses may also be required.

Can I unload in front of a rowhouse or business?

Have the carrier review the exact street, stopping position and final placement. Ask Streets which temporary street or no-parking approval fits the operation. A delivery quote does not reserve curb space or authorize a closure.

What does the delivery example for ZIP19103 cover?

It is an estimated delivery budget for one used 20ft WWT container with tilt-bed service to ZIP 19103. The box and tax, site work, special access and other lifting need their own confirmed scope.

Is a 40ft High Cube the better choice for a conversion?

Compare finished interior height with the full 40ft footprint, access and occupied-use requirements. Additional shell height does not supply insulation, utilities or approval. Request the actual unit and completed installation specification.

How should I compare roll-up access with standard doors?

List the largest item and retrieval pattern, then compare the clear opening and outside working aisle. Specify the fitted door, weather protection, structural work and transport as part of the offered configuration.

Can I prepare a request while I am still deciding on size?

Leave size as Other / not sure and ask for two suitable formats. Add the actual address, purpose and placement questions to Project notes, then edit and copy or download the summary. Preparing it does not send it.
