PARKING: The applicant has satisfied the minimum parking requirements as specified within Section 146-130 (Vehicle Parking) of the Zoning Ordinance.
LOADING SPACES: The applicant has satisfied the minimum loading space requirements as specified within Section 146-131 (Off-Street Loading) of the Zoning Ordinance.
SOLID WASTE CONTAINERS: The sanitation container screening walls will be constructed in accordance with the City of McKinney Design Specifications. The applicant has provided the required notation on the proposed site plan.
LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS: The applicant has satisfied all landscaping requirements as specified in Section 146-135 (Landscape Requirements) of the Zoning Ordinance.
SCREENING REQUIREMENTS: Per Section 146-132 (Fences, Walls, and Screening Requirements) of the Zoning Ordinance, loading docks and bay doors in any retail district or retail PD district are required to be oriented away from the street frontage. As proposed for this project, the bay door and service courtyard are oriented towards Van Tuyl Parkway, thus a variance is required. The Zoning Ordinance states that a variance can be granted during site plan approval if the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that:
§ Unique circumstances exist on the property that make application of specific items in this section (Sec. 146-132) unduly burdensome on the applicant;
§ The variance will have no adverse impact on current or future development;
§ The variance is in keeping with the spirit of the zoning regulations, and will have a minimal impact, if any, on the surrounding land uses; and
§ The variance will have no adverse impact on public health, safety, and general welfare.
Because this site plan requires consideration by the City Council per the governing planned development ordinance, the screening variance request will also be considered by the City Council instead of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The applicant has proposed one overhead door to be oriented toward public right-of-way. The applicant has indicated that a screening device (10’ masonry wall with gates) will screen the view of the overhead door. It is Staff’s professional opinion that since the overhead door has been properly screened per the Zoning Ordinance, the variance should be granted and recommends approval.
The applicant has provided the required notation stating that all mechanical, heating, and air conditioning equipment shall be screened from the public right-of-way and from adjacent residential properties. The applicant has properly screened the sanitation container and has satisfied the minimum requirements as specified in Section 146-132 (Fences, Walls, and Screening Requirements) of the Zoning Ordinance.
LIGHTING AND GLARE REGULATIONS: The applicant will be responsible for complying with Chapter 58 (Lighting and Glare Regulations) of the City of McKinney Code of Ordinances. The applicant has provided the required notation stating that the lighting will be in conformance to the requirements of the City of McKinney Code of Ordinances on the site plan.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS: The applicant will be responsible for meeting the requirements of Section 146-139 (Architectural and Site Standards) of the City of McKinney Zoning Ordinance. Architectural building elevations are subject to review and approval by the Chief Building Official, prior to issuance of a building permit.
