CATA: The area is not currently served by CATA at this location. This location is
not currently in CATA's long range planning. The proposal has no impact to current
service. Maintaining the bicycle and pedestrian way in this area is important to
accessing transit; an important feature for future planning and development of this area.
Building Code: No comment.
Planning Division: This request is located in the Barrett Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Commercial (C) and Office (0) for this property with the special
condition of a Planned District process. The Commercial category includes a broad
range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and
general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on
the trade area that they serve. The Office category represents services provided
directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, medical) as well as general offices which
support more basic economic activities. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from
PCD (Planned Commercial District) to PDR (Planned District Residential) to allow for
the development of a single-family subdivision on the site. The site is within the
Highway 10 Design Overlay District.
Master Street Plan: Cantrell Road is shown as Principal Arterial and Pleasant Grove
Road is a Local Street on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve
through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the
urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of
traffic and pedestrians on Cantrell Road since it is a Principal Arterial. The primary
function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that
are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are
considered as "Commercial Streets". A Collector design standard is used for
Commercial Streets. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may
require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
Landscape- No comment.
Revised plat/plan: Submit four (4) copies of a revised preliminary plat/plan (to include
the additional information as noted above) to staff on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.
