ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant requesting approval of concept plan for approximately 51.44 acres, generally for entertainment, retail, and restaurant uses. The zoning on the subject property, “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 1621, designates the property as “R-2” - Retail District, and is intended for medium-intensity retail and related commercial uses.
PLATTING STATUS: The subject property is currently conveyance platted as Lots 1R and 4, Block A of the Parcel 601/603 Addition. Subsequent to the approval of the preliminary-final plat (currently under review by Staff as 18-0181PF), a record plat, subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning, must be filed for recordation with the Collin County Clerk, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
CONCEPT PLAN: Under the governing base planned development ordinance, a concept plan is required if the development of the entire zoning area is not shown on a single site plan. A zoning area, as defined by “PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 1621, is a tract of land or contiguous tracts of land under the same zoning district. The subject property is currently zoned “R-2” Retail District. Concept plans are submitted for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which are then forwarded on to the City Council for consideration of approval.
The purpose of a concept plan is to set forth the development objectives allowed under zoning criteria in a graphic or specific written manner. The proposed concept plan shows the subject property can be effectively developed as 15 lots, as long as basic access and circulation needs are planned for the overall parcel as a whole. The attached concept plan displays the proposed lot layout for the development and indicates the lots will be developed as entertainment, retail, and restaurant uses. As each lot on the plan is developed, a site plan is required.
While the proposed concept plan lays out the anticipated uses of Parcel 601/603, any future development of the subject property will be subject to all applicable City Ordinances, including but not limited to the Zoning Ordinance (i.e. land use and development regulations) and the Subdivision Ordinance (i.e. platting). Proposed concept plans as approved shall not allow for deviations to applicable City Ordinances.
