COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting Site Plan and Preliminary Plat approval for
Lots 1 and 1X, Block A of Gateway Business Park No. 3, subdividing the
7.864 acres of property into two separate lots, with Lot 1X containing the
floodplain area of Grapevine Creek.
The request for site plan approval is for Lot 1, which contains 5.241 acres
of property. The applicant is proposing to develop two 32,061 square foot
office buildings, with accessory parking. The applicant proposes to
construct 100% office uses within the buildings, providing a total of 256
parking spaces, well over the 214 spaces required. As a result of the
office uses, no truck service/dock doors are proposed. However, the
applicant has provided four standard loading spaces/zones to
accommodate deliveries, etc. All perimeter, interior, and non-vehicular
landscape requirements have been met.
The property fronts on both Airline Drive and Freeport Parkway;
additional right-of-way was needed along Freeport Parkway and 15' along
the western edge of both Lots 1 and 1X was dedicated for future Freeport
Parkway right-of-way. Additionally, because Freeport Parkway is a
secondary image zone, an 8'-wide brick paver band is proposed at the
entrance along Freeport Parkway.
Architecture
The architecture of the proposed office facility will not be discussed as part
of this application. Because details on building materials have not been
finalized, the applicant has requested that the architectural details and
building elevations be reviewed in conjunction with Final Plat approval.
Although an unusual request and one that staff would not normally support,
staff has recommended approval subject to the submission and approval of
elevations and a color board prior to Final Plat approval.
Item# 10
Preliminary Plat
Lot 1X is located within a floodplain area of Grapevine Creek. At the
request of staff, the applicant has placed a note on the plat indicating that
maintenance of the floodplain/easement area is the responsibility of the
owner. Staff would like to further reiterate that maintenance of this area
means that cleaning, mowing, trash/debris pick-up and general upkeep of
this area is required. To ensure that the floodplain area is well maintained,
staff has recommended that a similar maintenance note be placed on the
site plan and an additional note be provided on the site plan defining
maintenance as noted above. Staff would also encourage the applicant to
not only maintain, but improve the floodplain area similar to
improvements made by adjacent improved properties. Additionally, staff
has requested that the applicant provide a comprehensive site plan,
showing both Lot 1X and the proposed site design of Lot 1. This sheet
should be included in the submission packet.
The proposed preliminary plat will establish all fire lanes, easements, and
dedications. As mentioned above, a note has been placed on the plat
requiring maintenance of the floodplain and drainage easement by the
owner. Additionally, staff has requested that the applicant clearly label
the 100-year floodplain and a comer clip at Freeport Parkway and Airline
Drive.
