Request for a proposed PD Amendment for the existing 16.415 acre Costco development located at 17520 Southwest Freeway. The existing Planned Development Ord. 1869 allows for a Costco Wholesale facility with a fueling station that allows for a maximum of 10 pumps and 20 fueling stations. The current site contains 8 pumps and 16 fueling stations. The applicant is requesting to add 4 additional pumps creating 8 fueling stations. This modifies the total number of onsite fuel dispensers from 16 to 24, exceeding the current PD's maximum allowance. Therefore, the applicant is requesting this amendment to the PD to modify the maximum allowance.
The existing development was analyzed for traffic circulation, queueing, parking, and access. City staff already approved two new driveways, and internal and external circulation has been reviewed and concurred with via a Traffic Impact Analysis. The additional dispensers anticipate moving cars through the site in a shorter time because more cars can fill simultaneously.
Planning & Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on January 26, 2023, followed by Consideration & Action. Planning & Zoning Commission then voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Planned Development Amendment for the Costco Wholesale Development as Ordinance No. 2291.
A Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 2291 were held during the February 7, 2023, City Council Meeting.
The Planning & Development Services Department recommends that the City Council approve the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2291.
