The property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of State Highway 121 and Watters Road. To the north, across State Highway 121, is the City of McKinney. To the east, across Watters Road, west, and south, the properties are zoned Planned Development PD No. 92 Corridor Commercial CC.
The property is currently zoned Planned Development PD No. 92 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial. The original Planned Development was established in 2004 with the intent to emphasize entertainment, commercial, and retail uses. In 2016, two amendments to this Planned Development were approved allowing Office and Medical or Dental Office uses on a portion of Tract A. In 2018, a Planned Development Amendment was adopted to expand Office and Medical or Dental Office uses, add Medical Clinic as a permitted use, and amend the Concept Plan.
The previous agenda item requested to amend the Planned Development to allow a Smoking Establishment use following the approval of a Specific Use Permit SUP. The applicant is pursuing a Specific Use Permit for this use.
The applicant is proposing to tenant a 4,775± square foot suite, including a 415± square foot outdoor patio, in a newly constructed building for Cigar Palace. Staff categorizes this use as a Smoking Establishment.
The applicant submitted a business summary in conjunction with the SUP application. The business is required to meet regulations for both a Private Club use and a Smoking Establishment use. The existing Planned Development does allow a Private Club use by right. The applicant will be required to meet the minimum standards for a Private Club, including a minimum of 25% food sales. The applicant is intending to provide pre-packaged food to meet this minimum.
The Specific Use Permit has been reviewed and meets the standards of the Allen Land Development Code.
