Title
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Tindahan ni Kuya, a proposed restaurant/grocery store to occupy a 1,400 square-foot lease space within a 13,140 square-foot multi-tenant building, situated on a 1.97-acre tract of land, located on the east side of South Main Street, approximately 1700 feet north from the intersection of Wall-Price Keller Road and South Main Street, legally described as Lot 2, Block A, Whitley Place Addition, zoned Commercial (C), located at 801 South Main Street Suite 101. Denton Highway Center, owner. Randy German, applicant. (SUP-21-0001)
Background:
• On December 7, 2017, the City issued a remodeling permit and Certificate of Occupancy for Sno Dash Frozen Treats at this location.
• Sno Dash Frozen Treats vacated the property in late October of 2020, and the space has remained vacated.
• The Applicant is proposing to operate a restaurant/grocery store at this location, primarily offering Philippine food for both the restaurant and the grocery store. (See Exhibit A - Application and Narrative Letter.) Because the applicant is providing items that are primarily for off-premise consumption (fish, meat, and other items), this requires an SUP in this zoning district (Commercial) per the Unified Development Code.
Grocery Store Definition:
“A retail establishment selling meats, fruits, vegetables, bakery products, dairy items and similar products for human consumption off-premises.”
Proposed Hours of Operation:
• Monday- Sunday: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Summary:
Section 8.02 (F)(2) of the UDC states that when considering a SUP request, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall consider the following factors:
1) The use is harmonious and compatible with surrounding existing uses or proposed uses;
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;
4) Any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated; and
5) That any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld.
