STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed specific use permit request with the following special ordinance provision:
1. The property shall generally develop in accordance with the attached specific use permit exhibit and all applicable development requirements of the city.
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a specific use permit to allow a recovery center for post-op plastic surgery in an existing building, located at 8951 Collin McKinney Parkway.
The zoning for the subject property (“PD” - Planned Development District with a base zoning of “SO” - Suburban Office District) requires that a specific use permit be granted in order for this type of use 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 proposed use is appropriate for the site and should be compatible with adjacent land uses.
The proposed use could be considered a medical office or clinic, which is permitted within the current zoning. However, limited overnight stay will be offered at the facility for post-operative care, which is not permitted in medical offices or clinics. As such, the applicant is requesting a specific use permit to permit a hospital use (allowing overnight stay) on the property. With the SUP request, the applicant proposes to limit the number of patient rooms to 3, require that food preparation for patients be prepared offsite, and that no surgeries will take place within this facility.
The site consists of an existing office park with several medical office and personal service uses. The subject property is surrounded primarily by commercial uses to the east and west as well as multi-family to the south.
With the added limitation to the specific use permit request, Staff is not opposed to the proposed use on this site. As such, Staff recommends approval of the proposed specific use permit request.
SITE LAYOUT: The attached exhibit provides a general layout of the existing 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.
