Request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for four new Medical Office Buildings directly adjacent to Single Family Residential property near East Riverpark Drive and Highway 99, the Grand Parkway. The property is located on approximately 2.467 acres zoned Neighborhood Business (B-1) commercial behind the retail commercial areas that front on the Grand Parkway.
The proposed buildings are between 4,908 and 6,121 square feet each, totaling 22,058 square feet of medical office space in the entire project. It is important to note that the proposed use will comply with the existing Neighborhood Business (B-1) zoning district requirements for land uses. The buildings will be accessed by connecting to an existing Private Access Easement (PAE) off of East Riverpark Drive, which currently provides access to the retail centers that front on the Grand Parkway and for the medical and professional office buildings currently under construction that front on East Riverpark Drive. Upon entering the site, parking is immediately available, and the office buildings are proposed along the North and East edges of the development. The applicant has provided the recorded plat and site plan, which depicts the PAE and legal boundaries, and building layout, parking lot layout, and locations of all site lighting. Of significant note, the applicant is proposing to include a new 8-foot wood fence with baseboard and cap and is willing to liaise with neighboring property owners so the fence can be seamless across the property lines.
The Planning and Zoning Commission hosted a Public Hearing on March 10, 2020. There were no speakers present to speak for or against the CUP. Commission then held discussion and direction, which noted several clean-up adjustments, including the need for a new fence, switching types and height of trees, and including double glazed windows on the rear for security purposes. Since the time of the meetings, the applicant has made revisions for clarity and proposed the new wood fencing.
Since the Public Hearing meeting, staff has received no inquiries and is not aware of any opposition.
