Executive Summary:
The request is to allow the construction of six one-story office buildings.
Introduction:
This property was part of a larger 87 acre Planned Development (PD) approved in 1994. The original PD
provided for single-family residential, open space and highway commercial uses along S.H. 121 and
Denton Tap Road. This office request would occupy the remainder of the vacant property, which is
located along S.H. 121. The current proposal is for an office campus consisting of six single-story
office/medical office buildings. The site provides good access with two driveways on S.H. 121, with the
most westerly to have a deceleration lane.
