The subject property is located on the southwestern corner of the intersection of Ridgeview Drive and U.S. Highway 75. The property to the north (across Ridgeview Drive) is zoned Planned Development No. 139 with a base zoning of Mixed Use. The properties to the east (across U.S. Highway 75) are in the Town of Fairview. The property to the south and west is zoned Community Facilities (CF).

The applicant is requesting to establish a Planned Development District and adopt a concept plan and sign elevations to allow for three monument signs along the property's U.S. Highway 75 frontage. The subject property is currently zoned CF. The Allen Land Development Code (ALDC) allows a maximum of two monument signs per street frontage either attached to a screening wall or freestanding for institutional districts, which includes the CF base zoning.

The property currently has three existing monument signs that were constructed along its U.S. Highway 75 frontage--two at the northern entrance and one at the southern entrance. The applicant is proposing to relocate one of the existing monument signs along with a portion of the property's screen wall at the northern entrance of the site. The relocation of the existing monument sign and screen wall has been prompted by the widening of Ridgeview Drive overpass by Texas Department of Transportation. There are no proposed additional changes to the site or the exterior of the building.

Staff has reviewed the Planned Development request.

On July 20, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request.
