Professional Opinion:
The professional analysis and opinion of staff is to support this SUP request to allow the use of a “Grocery store or food market” for Z Bar Cattle Company. Staff perceives this particular business will provide a unique and complementary service to the City of Keller. The applicant is proposing an all-natural meat market with an in house butcher for custom meat orders.
