A special use permit to convert the old Broadway Market into storage units and three rezoning requests will be on the Dec. 12 Webb City Council meeting after being advanced Monday by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

524 W. Broadway – special use permit

Kyler Baker told the commission he plans to construct 49 6-by-9-foot units with roll-up doors in the long-vacant Broadway Market building at 524 W. Broadway. 

He said there will be two keyed entries, one in front and one in back, where there is additional parking. He added that the building will be climate-controlled and have security features, including cameras.

There was no opposition during the public hearing. The vote to advance the request to the city council was 4-0.

502 Garrison Street – Rezone from R-3 to I-2

Mason Williams, of Cardinal Storage, made the request to rezone 502 Garrison St. (between South Devon and South Elliott streets) from multifamily to industrial in order to build more storage units.

Centennial Storage already operates on property south of the property in question.

He said a recent property acquisition fronting Centennial Street will allow access to the storage units from Centennial Street instead of through housing. An existing house will be kept to be rented.

Most of the property in that area is in the industrial portion of the Centennial Retail and Industrial Park.

There was no opposition during the public hearing. The vote to advance the request to the city council was 4-0.

811 N. Main St. – Rezone from C-2 to R-3

Scott Roderique and Dennis Kimzey, of R.O.K. Developments, intend to construct two seven-unit apartment buildings on half a block across from Webster Primary Center.

They have a contract, that they obtained through a bid process, with the Webb City R-7 School District to purchase the property.

The two-bedroom, two-bath apartments will all front Main Street, with parking in the back.

There was no opposition during the public hearing. The vote to advance the request to the city council was 4-0.

420 S. Devon St. – rezone from C-2 to R-3

Burns Investments is requesting multifamily zoning for three tracts at 420 S. Devon St. in order to build apartments.

Shane Burns said his plan isn’t specific but will be within what the code allows.

The property fronts South Devon Street from Fourth Street south to a lot owned by the Church of God, which is across the street.

He said they will demolish the “dilapidated” existing structures. “We’re just trying to clean the area up.”

David Ray, 514 S. Elliott St., said he would be against the proposal if Burns were going to build two-story structures.

However, commission member Clarence Greeno pointed out that under the existing zoning a commercial business could construct a two- or three-story building.

Burns has been purchasing and clearing properties in the area, primarily with the hope of attracting a large commercial development on the southwest corner of the roundabout. He has recently built a two-story complex of 12 apartments at East Tracy and Centennial streets.

The vote to advance the request to the city council was 4-0.
