ACTION PROPOSED:

Conduct a Public Hearing and Adopt an Ordinance to Amend the Development Regulations of Planned Development "PD" No. 78 Corridor Commercial CC for Allen Premium Outlets, Lot 1, Block 2 and to Amend the Kiosk Site Plan; Generally Located North of Stacy Road and West of U.S. Highway 75. [Allen Premium Outlets - Kiosks]




BACKGROUND

The property is generally located north of Stacy Road and west of U.S. Highway 75. The properties to the north are zoned Planned Development PD No. 78 Corridor Commercial CC and Planned Development PD No. 102 Corridor Commercial CC. The properties to the west (across Chelsea Boulevard) are zoned Planned Development PD No. 92 Shopping Center SC. The properties to the south are zoned Planned Development PD No. 78 Corridor Commercial CC. The properties to the east (across U.S. Highway 75) are in the Town of Fairview.

 

The property is currently zoned Planned Development PD No. 78 Corridor Commercial CC for the Allen Premium Outlets. The applicant is requesting to amend the Development Regulations to modify the regulations regarding kiosk locations to grant greater flexibility. The existing PD permits 24 specific kiosk locations clustered in seven areas on the property. The request removes specifically designated sites outlined on the Kiosk Site Plan in favor of written regulations and a boundary.

 

As shown in the Kiosk Site Plan, kiosks would be restricted to the interior of the site and not visible from adjacent streets.  The development regulations outline additional regulations for the kiosk locations to preserve accessibility and safety. These regulations include preventing obstruction of fire lanes or parking spaces, maintaining an accessible path around the kiosk, and establishing a minimum distance from the edge of a parking space. The applicant would be able to place the kiosks in new locations without pursuing a PD Amendment. Additionally, with this amendment, the number of kiosks permitted on the property is increased from 15 to 16.

 

Staff has reviewed the Planned Development Amendment request.

 

On July 7, 2020, Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
