Title
Consider a resolution approving a Site Plan Amendment for Tropical Smoothie, in an existing 1,550 square-foot lease space, within a 12,094 square-foot, multi-tenant building, situated on 1.42-acre property, located on the north side of Keller Parkway (F.M. 1709), approximately 250 feet northwest from the intersection of Keller Parkway and Chandler Road, being Lot 2, Block A of Greenway Keller Addition, zoned Town Center (TC), and addressed as 1521 Keller Parkway, Suite 100. DYNE Operating, Applicant, Greenway-Keller LP., Owner. (SP-22-0012)
Background:
The Applicant submitted a Site Plan Amendment to modify the front elevations by creating a small patio area with a three-and-a-half-foot wrought iron fence.
All Site Plan Amendments in the Town Center Zoning District must receive approval by City Council following a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Site Layout:
The Applicant proposes to use a small portion of the storefront to create a patio area. A three-and-a-half-foot dark gray wrought iron fence will be installed in front of the store with two tables with umbrellas (8 seats total). (See “Exhibit A.”)
Landscaping:
Tropical Smoothie will not be removing the planter boxes adjacent to the proposed fence.
Sidewalk:
The distance between the proposed three-and-a-half-foot wrought iron fence and the parking stale curb is five foot and eight inches.
Citizen Input:
A Site Plan Amendment application, even with variances, does not require a public hearing, so no public hearing notifications were sent out to the surrounding property owners for this request. The public will have an opportunity to speak on this agenda item during “Persons To Be Heard”.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 26, 2022 and unanimously recommended approval of the following request.
Site Plan Amendment request:
1. To allow the front elevation to be modified as indicated in “Exhibit A.”
City Council Alternatives:
The City Council has the following options when considering a Site Plan Amendment:
§ Approve as submitted (Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation).
§ Approve with modified or additional condition(s).
§ Table the agenda item to a specific date with clarification of intent and purpose.
§ Deny.
