The property is generally located northwest corner of the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and McDermott Drive (and commonly known as 802 W. McDermott Drive). The properties to the north and west are zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Corridor Commercial CC. The properties to the east (across U.S. Highway 75) are zoned Shopping Center. To the south, the property is zoned Planned Development PD No. 8 General Business GB.

The property is currently zoned Planned Development PD No. 54 Corridor Commercial CC. A Planned Development Amendment was adopted in June 2017 to allow the redevelopment of the site. It proposed to expand the existing building and maintain the existing fueling canopy. In contrast, the subject Planned Development Amendment proposes to construct a new building and fueling canopy, alter the existing parking and drive aisles, and alter the site lighting.

The subject property is 1.2886± acres. The attached Concept Plan shows a fueling station with a 4,977± square foot retail building. The fueling canopy is oblique to the intersection of McDermott Drive and U.S. Highway 75. The Concept Plan also shows locations where outdoor display would be allowed, provided an accessible route is left on the sidewalk.

There are a total of three access points into the development; one on U.S. Highway 75 and two through a Fire Lane, Access, and Utility easement.

The attached building elevations show the retail building with brick as a primary exterior building material and a building height of 20 feet. The fueling canopy has a mansard roof and brick wrapped columns. The proposed height of the fueling canopy is 22 feet.

The Allen Land Development Code requires exterior lighting that does not produce direct illumination across the bounding property line. Though the attached Photometric Plan does show light trespass across the bounding property line, the trespass is across adjacent commercial property lines and does not direct light into the public right-of-way.

In the attached Development Regulations, deviations to building setbacks, landscape buffer requirements, driveway throat depths, and outdoor display locations are discussed. 

The request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee.

Staff recommends approval.

I make a motion to recommend approval of the request to amend the Development Regulations of Planned Development PD No. 54 Corridor Commercial CC and adopt a Concept Plan, Building Elevations, and Photometric Plan for Bray Central One Addition, Lot 8R, Block D; generally located at the northwest corner of the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and McDermott Drive (and commonly known as 802 W. McDermott Drive), for QuikTrip 1909.
