C. Staff Analysis:
The C-3 zoned property at 6700 Cantrell Road is occupied by a one-story brick and frame
commercial building. The property is located at the northwest corner of Cantrell Road and
N. Hughes Street. The existing building is located 9.2 to 18 feet back from the front (south)
property line and two (2) feet back from the east side property line. The west side of the

building is on the west property line. There is paved parking on the north side of the building
which is accessed from N. Hughes Street.
The applicant is proposing to make a 10 foot by 40 foot (one story) building addition on the
north side of the building, as noted on the attached site plan. The proposed addition will be
located eight (8) feet back from the west side property line, and maintain the same two (2)
foot setback from the east side property line as the existing building. The addition will be
used for additional storage.
Section 36-301(e)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum street side building
setback of 25 feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the
continuation of the two (2) foot street side setback for the proposed building addition.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance, viewing it as a relatively minor issue. Staff
feels that extending the 45 foot deep building by an additional 10 feet along N. Hughes
Street will create no additional public safety concerns with its proximity to the street.
Additionally, the proposed addition will not eliminate any paved parking which exists on the
north side of the commercial building. Staff believes the proposed building addition will have
no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
D. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested setback variance, subject to compliance with
the landscape and buffer requirements, as noted in paragraph B. of the staff report.
