ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a specific use permit to allow a personal service use (Authentic Thai Massage Therapy) located at 8751 Collin McKinney Parkway, Suite 203.

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 site is appropriate for the proposed use and is compatible with existing land uses of the adjacent properties. This building has another personal service use already existing, and includes other similar office uses. The proposed tenant is licensed in massage therapy for medical uses, and their typical clients are referred to Authentic Thai Massage Therapy by medical professionals, as opposed to retail massages. Staff believes that this personal service use should complement other existing and future tenants within the office development.
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.
IMPACT ON EXISTING DEVELOPMENT: Staff does not anticipate that the specific use permit request would have a negative impact on adjacent developments. The applicant is proposing to operate the personal service use in Building 2 of the existing Southern Hills Office Park II, as depicted on the attached SUP Exhibit.

BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On February 8, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to recommend approval of the proposed specific use permit.
