PUBLIC HEARING: Consider an ordinance approving a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Dental Office use, for Just for Grins, proposed in an approximately 10,750 square-foot building, on an approximately 2.21 -acre property, located on the east side of North Main Street, approximately 250 feet southeast of the intersection of North Main Street and Johnson Road, zoned Old Town Keller (OTK), located at 466-468 North Main Street. Dr. Jonathan Angwin, owner/applicant. (SUP-20-0014).
Background:
• In 2013, Just for Grins was approved for a Certificate of Occupancy at 681 South Main Street Suite #300, as a Dental Office and did not require an SUP at the time.
• The applicant is now proposing to move to 466-468 North Main Street, which is zoned Old Town Keller (OTK), to expand his current business. In the OTK zoning district, all Medical/Dental Offices are required to go through the SUP process.
• The applicant has also submitted a Site Plan application in conjunction with the SUP application. However, since the Site Plan does not require any variances it may be approved administratively and is not required to go forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission followed by City Council.
• The business is proposing to construct and relocate to a new 10,750 square-foot building (pending Site Plan approval).
Proposed Hours of Operation (same as existing business):
o Monday - Tuesday: 7:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
o Wednesday: 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
o Thursday: 7:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
o Friday: 7:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.
o Saturday: Closed
o Sunday: Closed

2) The activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with the permitted uses in the base district;
3) The nature of the use is reasonable and appropriate in the immediate area;
