The property is located at the northwestern corner of the intersection of Main Street and Roaring Springs Drive. The properties to the north are zoned Single-Family Residential R-5. The properties to the east (across Roaring Springs Drive), and west are zoned Planned Development PD No. 5 Shopping Center SC. The properties to the south (across Main Street) are zoned Community Facilities CF and Single-Family Residential R-5.
The property is zoned Planned Development No. 5 Shopping Center SC. The zoning ordinance adopted in 1981 requires all site plans to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by City Council. The applicant currently operates a pet boarding facility on one of the two subject lots. The applicant is proposing to develop a veterinary clinic on Lot 2 and expand the pet training facility on Lot 1 with a second building. All of these uses are considered a Veterinary Hospital, Animal Clinic, or Animal Boarding Facility in the Allen Land Development Code and are permitted by right in this zoning district.
The applicant is proposing a phased development. The first phase will include the improvements to Lot 2, including a 10,441± square foot building for a veterinary clinic and a 1,224± square foot building for storage. This phase will include the construction of a fire lane, access, and utility easement to loop around the property and associated parking to support the new building.
As a second phase, the applicant is expanding on Lot 1. Currently, Lot 1 includes the existing 7,187± square foot animal boarding facility. The applicant is proposing to amend this site plan to add a 6,642± square foot building to the north of the existing building. The associated parking to support this development will be constructed at this time.
Section 6.06.12 of the Allen Land Development Code requires that all outdoor runs are a minimum of 100 feet away from residentially zoned property. The proposed site plan includes this setback and all outdoor runs will be located outside of this area.
The property constructed a screen wall along the northern property line on both Lot 1 and Lot 2 with the development of Lot 1. This screen wall will remain with this development.
The building elevations, landscape plan, and other documents required at time of Site Plan will be reviewed and approved administratively through the Site Plan process. The applicant has already begun this process to ensure that any changes on subsequent exhibits do not impact the proposed Site Plan.
The Technical Review Committee has reviewed the Site Plan and determined it meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code.
On February 2, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request.
