Semi-custom kitchen, bathroom and office solutions manufacturer SOLLiD Cabinetry is looking to expand its operations with a new headquarters, manufacturing and distribution facility on 17.5 acres at the SWC of Germann Road and Stearman Drive in Chandler.
The company has requested an Area Plan Amendment to the Chandler Airpark Area Plan from Parks and Open Space to Light Industrial, as well as rezoning to Planned Area Development for light industrial and Preliminary Development Plan approval for the site layout and building architecture. Chandler Municipal Airport is on the site’s southwest boundary.
In a memo to the Chandler Planning and Zoning Commission, planning staff notes the proposed site was previously designated Parks and Open Space to allow for expansion of the airport runway. “The City has had numerous opportunities to acquire the property for future expansion, however, has never exercised the decision to purchase the property,” the memo states.
