RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN NO. 18-04-SP Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. This project is a 6,728 square foot commercial retail building that will be subdivided into three (3) leased spaces The site is located on the frontage road of SH 121, located south of Chisolm Trail and immediately south of the current Lazy Dog restaurant. Due to the narrow lot configuration, the building is set rather close to Rio Grande Boulevard. In addition, the Trinity River Authority maintains a permanent metering station at the southeast corner of this site, which dictates the geometry of the parking, access drives, and building location. Access to the site will be from a shared access and cross access easement from Lazy Dog to Rio Grande Boulevard, as well as a drive approach from Rio Grande Boulevard south of the proposed structure. Forty-one (41) parking spaces are provided on the site. New sidewalks will be constructed along Rio Grande and the frontage road. Landscaping will be installed that will include trees planted along the frontage road and Rio Grande Boulevard. Ground plantings will be within areas along the frontage road and the rear (Rio Grande side) of the building. Similar to previous lease retail buildings within Glade Parks, large planters will be installed along the front of the building that will double as vehicle deterrents. The fapade of the building will be comprised primarily of stone and stucco. The Nichiha masonry product will be used as an architectural design enhancement that creates an appearance of wood. This product has been used in other locations within Glade Parks and has been very successful at maintaining its look and color steadfastness. The rear and side facades of this building have been treated with a greater amount of "wrap around" architecture in order to enhance the appearance of the building from Rio Grande Boulevard. The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has certified that it meets City standards. There were no further questions or comments presented by the Commission. Commissioner Ellis made a motion to recommend approval of Case No. 18-04-SP for a Site Plan for Commercial development proposed to be located on 0.78 acres of the Jesse Doss Survey, Abstract 441, Tracts 2A5, 6A4, and a portion of 6A6A, to be platted as Glade Parks Addition, Block C, Lot 2. 2511 State Highway 121 .
