ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a 22,021 square foot building for Automotive Sales and Repair and a detached car wash (EchoPark McKinney), located approximately 430 feet South of Bray Central Drive and on the West Side of Central Circle.
Site plans can typically be approved by Staff; however, the governing planned development ordinance requires the site plan to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The applicant is also requesting approval of a living plant screen for the proposed overhead doors and overnight parking spaces facing Central Circle, which is detailed further below.
On April 19, 2016, the City Council voted unanimously to approve the site plan, however the applicant has since modified the layout and square footage of the building. On January 10, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to close the public hearing and table the item until the January 24, 2017 meeting due to a noticing error. Staff has re-noticed this item accordingly.
