Carolyn O’Brien, Eridani Engineering, Applicant. Keith Hoogland, Owner. (ZONE-2510-0010)
Body
Action Requested:
Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a request to amend an existing Planned Development (PD) for Bursey Park to amend the allowable uses chart for Track 2 of the development to include “Auto Parts Sales”.
Current Zoning:
PD-1092-Planned Development-Retail
Proposed Zoning:
PD-1092-Planned Development-Retail
Future Land Use Plan (FLUP):
The subject property is designated as Retail/Commercial (RTC) on the FLUP.
Surrounding FLUP designations:
North: High Density Single-Family (HD-SF)
East: HD-SF
West: RTC
South: RTC
Background:
The subject property is currently zoned under an existing Planned Development (PD) as Tract 2 of PD-1092-Retail. The approved Retail use chart in the PD development standards does not include “Auto Parts Sales” as an allowable use. The Applicant requests the addition of this use as an allowable in the existing Planned Development.
Business Details:
AutoZone is a national retailer of automotive replacement parts and accessories.
Proposed hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. on Sundays.
Site Design:
The existing building is 8,160 square-feet and includes three tenant spaces, all of which are currently vacant. The Applicant intends to remodel the interior to utilize the entire structure for its retail operations. No expansion of the building is approved, but all facades will be updated with the gray, orange and red branding for AutoZone.
The Keller Unified Development Code Section 9.02(G)(3) defines the parking ration for Automobile parts sales (indoors) as one space per 400 square-feet of floor area, bringing the total required spaces on the subject property to 21 spaces. There are 43 regular and 2 accessible parking spaces on the lot.
Request:
1. To amend the existing PD to allow for “Auto Parts Sales” use on Tract 2.
Citizen Input:
On October 30, 2025, the City mailed out 31 Letters of Notification for this Public Hearing and the associated planned development zoning change to all property owners within three hundred feet (300’) of the subject site. A public hearing notice sign was posted on the site.
Summary:
Section 8.02 (D)(1)(e) of the UDC states that when considering a zoning change request, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall consider the following factors:
1) Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be appropriate in the immediate area concerned and their relationship to the general area and the City as a whole, and in compliance with the Future Land Use Plan.
2) Whether the proposed change is in accord with any existing or proposed plans for providing streets, water supply, sanitary sewers, and other utilities to the area, and shall note the findings.
3) The amount of vacant land currently classified for similar development in the vicinity and elsewhere in the City, and any special circumstances which may make a substantial part of such vacant land unavailable for development.
4) The recent rate at which land is being developed in the same zoning classification as the request, particularly in the vicinity of the proposed change.
5) How other areas designated for similar development will be, or are unlikely to be, affected if the proposed amendment is approved.
6) Any other factors which will substantially affect the health, safety, morals, or general welfare.
Alternatives:
The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options when considering a Planned Development amendment application:
• Recommend approval as submitted
• Recommend approval with modifications 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 Planned Development amendment application will be scheduled for City Council action on December 2, 2025.
