Title
Consider a request for a Site Plan Amendment for Maple Street Biscuit Company, in an existing 3,516 square-foot lease space, within a 9,670 square-foot, multi-tenant building, situated on a 1.47-acre property, located on the north side of Keller Parkway (F.M. 1709), approximately 450-feet northwest of the intersection of Keller Parkway and Rufe Snow Drive, being Lot 3R-1R6, Block 8 of Bluebonnet Trails Addition, and addressed as 967 Keller Parkway, Suite D and E. Timothy Schenk, Applicant. K.W. Lee Properties LP., Owner. (SP-22-0004)
Background:
The City of Keller approved and issued an interior tenant finish-out permit for Maple Street Biscuit Company on January 6, 2022.
On January 26, 2022, the Applicant submitted a Site Plan Amendment to modify the front elevations by creating a patio area. All Site Plans 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 remove a small portion of the storefront to create a patio area. A 3-foot black wrought iron fence with gate will be installed around the exterior portion of the patio. The 255 square-foot patio area will incorporate 14 seats on the patio and 8 seats along the sidewalk (total 22 seats). (See Exhibit A.)
Landscaping:
The Applicant proposes to remove two shrubs within the five-foot foundation plantings and add sidewalk to construct the wrought iron fencing for the patio.
Site Plan Amendment Requested:
1. To allow the front elevation to be modified as indicated in Exhibit A.
Citizen Input:
A Site Plan 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 would have had an opportunity to speak on this agenda item at the “Persons To Be Heard”.
Alternatives:
The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options when considering a Site Plan Amendment:
§ 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 Site Plan application will be scheduled for City Council consideration on March 22, 2022.
