Body
Background:
Alpha & Omega Chiropractic currently operates at 252 South Elm Street, where they were previously approved for an SUP in 2022. They are now looking to relocate their office to an existing building located at 121 Lorine Street.
Chiropractic practices are considered medical uses and fall under medical offices in the Unified Development Code (UDC). In the Old Town Keller (OTK) zoning district, a Specific Use Permit (SUP) is required to operate a medical office.
Site Design:
The chiropractic office will occupy an existing building that is approximately 1,992 square feet. The Applicant intends to remodel the interior space, but no exterior modifications have been proposed.
The UDC parking requirement for “medical or dental office” is one space per 200 square-feet of gross floor area, bringing the total requirement for this applicant to 10 spaces. There are currently 6 public parking spaces adjacent to the property on Lorine Street and a driveway that may be used for additional parking space.
Business Details:
Alpha & Omega Chiropractic offers services including chiropractic evaluations, gentle spinal adjustments, and ongoing wellness care. The Applicant has also stated that they intend to design the space to be supportive of complementary services that may include massage therapy, lactation consulting, and ultrasound services.
Proposed Hours of Operation:
The chiropractic office will operate during the following hours:
Monday and Wednesday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Tuesday: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Thursday: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Friday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Surrounding Land Use Designations:
North: Retail/Commercial (RTC)
East: High Density-Single Family (HD-SF)
South: Retail/Commercial (RTC)
West: Retail/Commercial (RTC)
The subject property is zoned Old Town Keller and designated Retail/Commercial (RTC) on the city’s Future Land Use Plan (FLUP).
Summary:
Section 8.02 (F)(2) of the UDC states that when considering a SUP request, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall consider the following factors:
1) The use is harmonious and compatible with surrounding existing uses or proposed uses;
2) The activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with the permitted uses in the base district;
3) The nature of the use is reasonable and appropriate in the immediate area;
4) Any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated; and
5) That any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld.
Citizen Input:
On May 14, 2026, the City mailed out 27 letters of notification for this Public Hearing to all property owners within three-hundred feet (300’) of the subject site. A public hearing notice sign was posted on the site.
Staff has received no public feedback in response to this SUP request.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options when considering a Specific Use Permit:
• Recommend approval as submitted.
• Recommend approval with modified or additional condition(s).
• Table the agenda item to a specific date with clarification of intent and purpose.
