Nice work, I’ll try and lend you a hand if I can. The more diverse and alive development is, the better chances this game will still be kicking years from now. I’ll give you a quick run down on getting it in game and what the code would generally look like.
mapgen.ccp
case ot_small_storage_north:
case ot_small_storage_east:
case ot_small_storage_south:
case ot_small_storage_west: {
// Init to grass & dirt;
fill_background(this, &grass_or_dirt);

{"small storage unit", 'v', c_ltgray, 5, build_extras, false, false},

Finally, in overmap.ccp
Line ~81
...
oter_id ret = ot_s_lot;
const int type = rng(0, 28);
switch (type) {

case 27: ret = ot_police_north; break;
case 28: ret = ot_small_storage_north; break;
}

Tips
-I prefer to make my floor tiles periods and leave the grass squares as spaces. The game interprets these as randomized dirt/grass so that it blends with the natural background.
-The game separates walls into vertical and horizontal, the same with glass walls. At intersections a vertical wall always triumphs and the game uses logic to decide how it should look.
-Add pavement and sidewalks to her and I’d make the bathroom have at least one path of walkway around the sink/toilet.
-for 2x2 buildings the code is setup to place the entrance at the south west corner and facing south
-don’t feel intimidated by the code, once you get the hang of it you can add a 1x1 building in less than an hour
I’m looking forward to what you come up with.
