PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
SUMMARY:
Consider a request to approve a site plan to construct and operate a one story, 5,000 square foot Veterinary Clinic providing medical care for domestic animals, including emergency and routine care for local pet owners. The vacant 1.174-acre property, generally located north of Bardin Road and approximately 690 feet east of S. Great Southwest Parkway (2510 Bardin Road)
The property is zoned Planned Development-250 (PD-250) district and is within the Interstate-20 Corridor Overlay District being Lot 7, Block 1 of Brooke E. Bowen Addition. PD-250 was established in November 2011 allowing for standards and uses permitted in General Retail (GR) district. A Veterinary Clinic is allowed use by right within the GR district subject to indoor (overnight) kennel as accessory to primary veterinarian related uses. New development located within the I-20 Corridor Overlay District requires Planning & Zoning recommendation/review and subsequent City Council approval.
The vacant property is adjacent to retail uses to the north and east and abuts a full service car wash to the west. Primary access to the property is an existing access drive to the shopping center via Bardin Road traversing north-south through the commercial shopping center, thereby providing secondary access from the north to I-20.
As proposed, the development complies with the dimensional and setback requirements for the GR district. The proposed single-story, single-tenant building, comprised of primarily brick, stone and masonry exterior materials meets that masonry requirement of the I-20 Corridor Overlay District. In addition, the building’s front façade as proposed complies with front articulation standard. Adequate landscaping is provided 50 %), which exceeds the minimum 5% requirement. The site provides for four (Live Oak) street trees and two (Red Oak) on-site canopy trees.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as appropriate for Commercial/Retail/Office uses. The FLUM indicates Commercial/Retail/Office category should include a mixture of office, retail and service uses. Staff finds that the proposed use is consistent with the current FLUM designation.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee recommends approval.
