BACKGROUND
 
The property is located west of Prestige Circle and north of Bethany Drive. The properties to the north, west and south are zoned Planned Development PD No. 3 Light Industrial (LI). The property to the east (across Prestige Circle) is zoned Light Industrial (LI).

The applicant is proposing to tenant a 12,647 square foot suite space in an existing building for a competitive dance training facility. Staff categorizes this type of use as a Gymnastics and Sports Training Facility use.

The property is zoned Planned Development No. 3 with Light Industrial (LI) as the base zoning. The Allen Land Development Code requires a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Gymnastics and Sports Training Facility use within the LI zoning district.

The applicant submitted a business summary in conjunction with the SUP application. The following is a summary of the proposed business operations:
  • Daily classes begin at 3:30 pm.
  • Performances and/or competitions are held offsite.
  • The center is staffed with four teachers per night. The majority of the students are dropped off since they spend more than 2 hours in classes per day.

Staff believes the amount of parking on site is adequate for the proposed use. There are no proposed changes to the exterior of the building.

On August 5, 2014 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
