Title
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow counseling offices to operate within an existing multi-tenant office building, on approximately 0.41 acres, located on the northwestern corner of the intersection of South Main Street and Bates Street, legally described as Lot 3R, Block 4, of the Keller, City Addition, zoned Old Town Keller (OTK), and addressed 208 South Main Street. Susan O’Connor, Applicant. Keller Main St Depot LLC, Owner. (SUP-2510-0042)
Body
Background:
Main Street Depot is an existing multi-tenant office building with 25 suites. Currently, there are 5 suites occupied by counseling offices, with respective leases originating in 2019, 2020, 2022, September 2025, and October 2025. After staff was made aware that counseling offices were operating at this location, the property owner was contacted and informed of the SUP requirement.
Counseling offices 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 counseling offices occupy 5 suites in an existing multi-tenant building that is approximately 7,706 square feet in gross building area.
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 39 spaces. There are currently 10 regular parking spaces and 1 accessible space on the property. However, the property is located adjacent to the shared public parking spaces on Bates Street.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
The subject property is zoned Old Town Keller and designated Mixed Use (MU) on the city’s Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) as are all of the surrounding properties adjacent to the subject property.
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 October 30, 2025, 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.
Alternatives:
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.
• Recommend denial.
City Council Action:
If the Planning and Zoning Commission takes action and makes a recommendation on this agenda item, then this Specific Use Permit application will be scheduled for City Council action on December 2, 2025.
