BACKGROUND

The property is generally located north of Bethany Drive and east of U.S. Highway 75 (and commonly known as 604 W. Bethany Drive, Suite 102). The properties to the north and west are zoned Planned Development No. 68 Corridor Commercial. The properties to the east and south (across Bethany Drive) are zoned Light Industrial.

The property is currently zoned Planned Development No. 68 Corridor Commercial. The applicant (Bethany Tavern) currently tenants a 6,165± square foot suite in an existing building and has a Certificate of Occupancy for a Restaurant/Private Club use.

The current Specific Use Permit (SUP) for the property was issued in September 2000 for a Restaurant with Private Club use. The original Ordinance granting an SUP included a floor plan for the suite. At the applicant's request, the new SUP would remove the requirement of a floor plan. While including the floor plan in the Ordinance was required when SUP No. 82 was adopted, this is no longer a requirement.

The applicant is not proposing to change the current hours of operation.

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

The Specific Use Permit request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and meets the standards of the Allen Land Development Code.

 

On December 18, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
