CC Memo & Ordinance1
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of an Ordinance for PD-273R2-C to establish a Detail Site Plan for a
convenience store and gas pumps on 0.97 acres located at 890 S. Denton Tap Road and
authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
This request is to redevelop the site for a 2,991 square foot convenience store with a 3,096 square foot
canopy over 6 gas pump islands. A deceleration lane is being provided along northbound Denton Tap
and one driveway is being eliminated which will provide safer movements into this site.
Introduction:
The redevelopment of this corner property for a convenience store with gas pumps faces several
challenges to adhere to the Commercial District and Landscaping requirements, however the
redevelopment of this site will positively impact the aesthetics of this intersection and therefore is
supported.
To address the shortage in landscaped areas, the applicant is entering into a License Agreement with the
city to allow landscaping (ground cover and seasonal color) and maintenance of the 1,237 square foot of
city owned land at the corner of E. Belt Line and S. Denton Tap. Part of that approval would allow the
monument sign to be placed at the property line, instead of 10 feet behind the property line which would
be approximately 50 feet from the intersection. If this property is enhanced with ground cover and
seasonal color, it could be used to fulfill the landscaping requirement which would achieve the 30%
landscaping threshold.
Rather than window signage, the applicant is requesting signage on the gas canopy. Specifically, three -
9 square foot, 7-ELEVEN full color logo medallions are proposed on the canopy. Notes have been added
to the Site Plan to assure that the canopy lighting will be fully recessed, and compliance with the with
the regulations on Outside Storage and Display in the Zoning Ordinance.
