ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z -5099-B
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
The site is located on a CATA Express Route.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site,
all residents within 300 feet who could be identified and
the DuQuesne, Aberdeen Court and Bayonne Neighborhood
Associations were notified of the rezoning request.
LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is located in the Pinnacle Planning District. The
adopted Plan recommends commercial for the bulk of the
tract, with small portions on the west side being indicated
as Office and Multifamily. Insomuch as this rezoning
request involves only existing commercially zoned property,
staff believes no plan change is necessary. The property
lies in an area not covered by a neighborhood action plan.
No action plan is proposed for the near future.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone 11.95± acres
located at 19,900 Cantrell Road from "C-2" Shopping Center
Commercial to "C-3" General Commercial. The site is
undeveloped and heavily wooded. There is no specific plan
for immediate development of the site.
At the time this property was zoned C-2 in February 1989, it
was outside of the city limits but within the City's
extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. It was zoned prior to
adoption of the Highway 10 Overlay District in October 1989.
The property lies within the Commercial node established by
the intersection of Chenal Parkway and Highway 10 (Cantrell
Road). It was felt at that time, that it would be
appropriate to have the additional level of Planning
Commission review required in C-2 to assure that the
development would conform to the scenic quality of Highway
10. Subsequent to the approval of this C-2 zoning and the
E

adoption of the Highway 10 Overlay standards, the other
3 corners of the Highway 10/Chenal Parkway intersection were
zoned C-3. The heightened design standards of the overlay,
including increased building setbacks and landscape areas,
will assure that any development of this tract continues the
scenic nature of Highway 10.
The Commission recently approved C-3 zoning for 4 acres
located on the south side of Cantrell, across from this
site. The C-3 zoned southeast and southwest corners of
Chenal Parkway and Cantrell Road are currently undeveloped.
A mini -warehouse development is located on the C-3 zoned
property north of Cantrell, east of Chenal Parkway. A
convenience store is located on the PCD zoned property
directly east of the subject property. The 0-3 zoned
property to the north and the 0-2 and MF -18 zoned properties
to the west are currently undeveloped. A new apartment
complex is nearing completion on the MF -18 zoned property to
the northwest. The proposed C-3 zoning is compatible with
uses and zoning in the area and conforms to the adopted Land
Use Plan.
