Site Plan for a 5,660-sq. ft. restaurant on 1.463 acres. Lot 6R, Block B, Epic West Towne Crossing Phase 1, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-364, within the SH-161 Corridor Overlay District, and addressed as 3134 S HWY 161.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant intends to construct a 5,660 sq. ft. restaurant on Lot 6R, Block B, Epic West Towne Crossing Phase 1. Development in a Planned Development District or a Corridor Overlay District requires City Council approval of a Site Plan. Development at this location requires City Council approval of a Site Plan because the property is zoned PD-3 and within the SH-360 Corridor Overlay District.
The purpose of site plan approval is to ensure that development meets requirements in the Unified Development Code (UDC), provides adequate circulation, and uses quality site planning techniques. The UDC identifies criteria for evaluating proposed developments. Criteria include density and dimensional standards, landscaping and screening requirements, and architectural design for special districts.
