Southeast comer of S.H. 121 and Denton Tap Road
SIZE OF REQUEST:
7.5+ acres of land
OWNER/SUBDIVISION: Vista Partners
CURRENT ZONING:
LI (Light Industrial)
PROPOSED ZONING: HC (Highway Commercial)
HISTORY:
On April 20, 2000 the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of a SUP for a lack in the Box
restaurant on a portion of this property. St~ff
recommended that the base zoning on that property be
changed from LI to HC in accordance with this rezoning
effort. However, this change in zoning was not included
in the Planning and Zoning Commission' s
recommendation. On May 9, 2000 the City Council
approved the SUP for this restaurant subject to a condition
which required conformance with the HC District
regulations, specifically the relocation of the dumpster.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - State Highway 121; City of Lewisville
South - Denton Creek Middle School; SF-7
East - Denton Creek Middle School; SF-7
West - vacant; HC- PD 133
Item# 7
COMPRFJ-IENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows this property suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
This property was zoned Light Industrial in 1990 as part
of a 286+ acre zoning request by Vista Mortgage and
Realty. In 1996 the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
designated this area as Regional Retail. In 1997 the
property to the east was zoned SF-7 for a Middle School.
Given the size and configuration of this remaining tract,
light industrial development would not be feasible. Retail
and office development is more appropriate at this
location. As noted, a Special Use Permit for a fast food
restaurant was recently approved on a portion of this tract.
The proposed HC District zoning would allow for retail
and restaurant developments, which is more compatible
with the schools located to the east of this property, as
well as being in accordance with the recommendations of
the Comprehensive Plan.
