| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The property is generally located south of Exchange Parkway and west of Junction Drive. The property to the north (across Exchange Parkway) is zoned Planned Development PD No. 108 Mixed-Use MIX. The properties to the west and east (across Junction Drive) are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 for Industrial Technology IT. The property to the south (across Medical Drive) is zoned Planned Development PD No. 108 Office O.
The applicant (North Texas Municipal Water District) is proposing to construct storage tanks, categorized as a "Public Service Facility," on the approximate 7.502± acre site which is currently zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Industrial Technology IT. The applicant is proposing to amend the base zoning to Community Facilities CF and adopt Development Regulations, a Concept Plan, and Building Elevations for the property.
Two storage tanks are proposed on the property to serve and provide for the north Texas region. Each tank is 205' in diameter, 82' in height to the top of the dome, and capable of holding 13.5 million gallons. A concrete splash pad and storage pond is proposed on the western side of the tanks in case of overflow or failure. An associated 580 square foot control building, 525 square foot control meter vault building, and a future chemical storage area are also proposed on the property. A future conceptual development is shown along Exchange Parkway to ensure this area remains developable.
One (1) gated point of access is provided for the development on Junction Drive. A hammerhead firelane is provided adjacent to the control building/storage area. A gravel drive continues in between the two tanks as an emergency access road.
Open Space provided exceeds ALDC standards.
The storage tank facility will be enclosed with perimeter fencing consisting of an eight-foot (8') masonry screening wall.
The storage tanks will be one (1) story with a maximum height of 82 feet to the top of the dome. The tanks will be constructed of concrete and will be decorated with raised concrete arched elements. The control building will be one (1) story with a maximum height of 16 feet and will be constructed of brick with standing seam metal roofing, as shown in the building elevations.
The draft ordinance includes the development regulations such as the building setbacks, building height, and screening.
The PD Amendment request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee.
On June 20, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
