BACKGROUND

The subject property is located directly south of McDermott Drive and west of U.S. Highway 75, with the said property being addressed as 805 W. McDermott Drive. The properties to the north (across McDermott Drive) are zoned Planned Development No. 54 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial. The properties to the east are zoned Planned Development No. 8 with a base zoning of General Business District. The properties to the south and west are zoned Planned Development No. 55 (PD-55) with a base zoning of Commercial/Office (C/O).

The property is zoned PD-55 with a base zoning district of C/O. The applicant is requesting to amend the development regulations to allow for a Medical Clinic use onsite by right, in addition to the uses already permitted by the existing Planned Development. The site is already developed and has an existing 8,965± square foot building which currently houses Comerica Bank.

The applicant desires to lease 3,984± square feet of the existing building for an urgent care facility use, which is classified as a medical clinic use. The overall site has a total of 85 parking spaces, which is sufficient to adequately serve the medical clinic and bank uses.

There are no proposed changes to the exterior of the building or the site itself. The applicant provided a site plan to demonstrate that onsite parking is adequate. While the site plan is provided for illustrative purposes, it is not proposed to be adopted with the ordinance.
 
Staff has reviewed the Planned Development Amendment request and finds it to be compatible with the surrounding uses.

 

On May 4, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request.
