ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a specific use permit to allow a Personal Service Use (Chess Academy) located at 8897 Collin McKinney Parkway, Suite 204.  

 

The zoning for the subject property (“SO” - Suburban Office) requires that a specific use permit be granted in order for a personal service use (chess academy) to be operated on the subject property.

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 believes that the site is appropriate for the proposed use and is compatible with existing land uses of the adjacent properties.

 

IMPACT ON EXISTING DEVELOPMENT:  Staff does not anticipate that the specific use permit request would have a negative impact on adjacent developments and would complement the existing office development. 

 

CONFORMANCE TO THE PREFERRED SCENARIO:  The Preferred Scenario designates this property as the Urban Living placetype within the Collin McKinney Commercial District. The Urban Living placetype allows for non-residential development at a neighborhood scale in appropriate locations. Personal service uses are an allowed use within the zoning district with approval of an SUP, and align with the criteria of the designated placetype and district. The proposed specific use permit request is not in conflict with the Preferred Scenario.
