SPECIFIC USE PERMITS: When acting on a request for a specific use permit, the following factors should be considered:
• Compatibility with adjacent and neighboring land uses in the immediate area
• Adaptability of building structures to the proposed use
• Infrastructure requirements: roads, sidewalks, access to public streets, parking, and drainage
• Elements such as screening, open space, building heights, and compatibility of existing buildings to the proposed use
Staff has evaluated the request based on the above-mentioned parameters and feels that the proposed use is appropriate for the site and should be compatible with adjacent proposed and existing land uses.
The site is directly adjacent to the existing Redbud Pump Station to the west, properties that are currently zoned “LI” - Light Industrial to the east and south, and City of McKinney owned property to the north. The proposed pump station and water storage tanks are proposed to be screened from Redbud Boulevard with an 8’ steel fence in addition to the required landscape buffer area. With these items in mind, Staff feels that the proposed pump station is compatible with adjacent uses and recommends approval of the proposed specific use permit request.
SITE LAYOUT: The attached exhibit provides a general layout of the proposed building as well as the associated parking and internal site circulation. The site circulation, parking, and sanitation requirements are in general conformance with the Zoning Ordinance.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION:
Adjacent Streets: Redbud Boulevard, 80’ Right-of-Way, Minor Arterial
Internal Circulation: Fire lanes are proposed to be constructed on site.
OPPOSITION TO OR SUPPORT OF REQUEST: Staff has not received any letters in
support of or opposition to this request. This does not include emails or letters that may
have been sent directly to members of the Council or Planning and Zoning Commission. As part of the Planning and Zoning public hearing process, staff has not received any citizen comments through the online citizen portal.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On September 13, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0-0 to recommend approval of the proposed SUP request.
