The property is generally located south of Allen Drive and east of US Highway 75 (commonly known as 604 N. Central Expy.). The properties to the north, south, and east are zoned Shopping Center SC.

The SUP Site Plan shows one existing service bay door on the eastern end of the building for this suite.

There are two (2) existing access points into the site on the US Highway 75 Service Road, both through a 24' Fire Lane, Access, and Utility Easement. Parking on site complies with the Allen Land Development Code standards.

There are no proposed changes to the exterior of the building.
