Body
Background:
Baylor Scott & White Rehabilitation Services currently operates a physical therapy clinic at 460 Keller Parkway. Due to space limitations at the existing location, the Applicant has proposed relocating the business to an existing 4,791 square-foot lease space at 1006 Keller Parkway to expand services and patient capacity.
In the Town Center zoning district, an SUP is required to operate a medical office.
Site Design:
The Applicant intends to modify the interior of the approximately 4,791 square-foot space to accommodate the medical office. A floorplan is provided in the Applicant packet. No exterior modifications have been proposed.
The parking requirement for a medical office is one space per 200 square-feet of gross floor area, bringing the total parking requirement for this business to 24 spaces. This requirement is met with parking spaces shared among lease spaces on the property.
Business Details:
The clinic will have 4 to 8 employees on-site during operating hours, including licensed physical therapists, physical therapist assistants and front office staff.
Primary services conducted on-site will include:
• Physical therapy examinations and individualized treatment
• Therapeutic exercise and functional training
• Return-to-sport programs and performance-based rehabilitation
• Injury prevention education
• Patient consultations and follow-up visits
Proposed Hours of Operation:
Monday - Thursday: 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Friday: 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Potential future expansion may include extended Friday hours and/or limited
Saturday hours based on patient demand and community needs.
