COlVlPI~F~H'~NS1VE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed retail building is located in the City's Town Center District
which stipulates that a detailed site plan must be reviewed and approved
by both the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as by City Council.
In addition, the Town Center Architectural Review Board will review the
development proposal. Staff has carefully reviewed the site plan and
elevations and evaluated the building form using the Colleyville's
Commercial De.~ign Overlay District Architectural Guidelines as
recommended in the CMC report. Based on staff calculations, the
building would meet those guidelines for the most restricted business
district.
The subdivision regulations identify this particular location as one of the
primary city image zones and has established certain standards regulating
the plant material to be used in these specked areas. A minimum of 40%
