Master Street Plan
Cantrell Road is a Principal Arterial 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. This street
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.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Kraftco Building Supply, Inc., owner of the 0.49 acre property located at
6711 Cantrell Road, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family
District to "C-3" General Commercial District. The property is located along the
east side of N. Coolidge Street, approximately 100 feet south of Cantrell Road.
The rezoning is proposed to recognize the past use of the property as part of the
overall Kraftco Building Supply development. The property is comprised of three
(3) platted lots; Lots 7-9, Block 3, White City Addition.
The north portion of the 0.49 acre property contains paved parking which serves
the Kraftco Building Supply use immediately to the north. The south portion of
the property is undeveloped. A small accessory structure which was located
within the east half of the subject property has been removed. The Kraftco
lumber storage building is located immediately to the east. A gravel access drive
behind the main Kraftco building serves the lumber storage area. Access drives
from Cantrell Road and N. Coolidge Street serve the overall Kraftco property.
The subject property is located in an area of mixed uses and zoning. Mixed
commercial uses are located across Cantrell Road, north of the overall Kraftco
development. A multifamily development is located on the R-5 zoned property to
the south. A commercial use and single family residences are located to the
east. The R-2, R-5 and C-3 zoned properties to the west across N. Coolidge
K

Street contain a single family structure, multifamily buildings and a mixture of
commercial uses.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial. The
proposed rezoning to C-3 does not require an amendment to the plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested C-3 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposal is more of a "clean-up" type issue. The property
proposed for C-3 zoning has been utilized as part of the overall Kraftco Building
Supply facilities for a number of years. Parking for the business is located within
the north portion of the subject property. A small accessory structure which
served the business was recently removed from the east half of the property.
The bulk of the overall Kraftco property immediately to the north and east is
zoned C-3. The proposal will simply zone the balance of the Kraftco
property/facilities to C-3. Staff believes the rezoning of this 0.49 acre property
will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 27, 2013)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item
and a recommendation of approval. There was no further discussion. The item was
placed on the consent agenda and approved as recommended by staff. The vote was
8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent.
