Box 53 Dallas, Texas 75214 Forney, Texas 75126 972-232-2118 ext. 293 214-469-7176 Email: melhaddad@sunholdings.net Email:gguerin@EastStarDesign.com HISTORY: In February 2007, a 78-acre Planned Development (PD) was established to allow light industrial, office, retail and hotel uses at the northwest corner of I.H.-635 and S. Belt Line Road. Since that time, through various PD amendments and minor lot adjustments, approximately 1/3 of the property has been developed for its intended uses including office, office warehouse and hotel. In July 2007, a revised PD Concept Plan was approved for retail and restaurant uses on the subject 17.4-acre tract. On the same agenda, an 187,535-square-foot, six-story hotel, with 260 rooms and ancillary uses was also approved. In June 2008, a PD amendment request was denied for a RaceTrac convenience food store with gas pumps along Belt Line Road within this 17.4-acre tract. Included in the reasons for denial, was concern that the first development in this PD would set the tone for the development of the remainder of the property in terms of types of uses and architectural character. ITEM # 5 Page 2 of 3 In 2013, a PD amendment was approved to the hotel originally established in 2007, to reduce the room count, but to include a restaurant and conference center on the five- acre tract. This 157-room Four Points by Sheraton, includes a 2,000-square-foot restaurant and a 10,000-square-foot conference center and opened in November 2016. In February 2016, Council approved a revised Concept Plan for the entire 17 acres for retail, restaurant, office, bank and hotel uses, and a Detail Plan for the 1st phase of development along Belt Line Road. The first phase also includes the construction of the various driveways/mutual access easements and the landscaped plaza area (X-lot). In February 2017 Council approved the attachment of a Detail Site Plan for two retail/restaurant buildings totaling approximately 17,000 square feet on 2.9 acres of property along the frontage of IH-635.
