RE: Highway 121 at Freeport Parkway
Proposed Planned Development
The proposed project is anticipated to provide for the orderly development the platted 8.660 acre
tract at the Southwest Corner of SH421 and Freeport Parkway. As part of this submittal, we are
submitting a Concept PD for the Overall and a Detailed Site Plan for the Quik Trip.
The mixed use is anticipated to consist of the Quik Trip on the hard corner along with potential
Hotel(s), Retail, Restaurant, and Office uses. These uses are depicted on the Concept Plan. This plan
is representative of what we feel is reasonable for the site, however is not meant to establish a final
site plan, it is intended to depict conceptual layouts only. The colors and materials used for facade on
Exhibits B1 -B3 in no way intended to preclude the use of architectural features or National Branding
to define users in their own fashion.
The property is currently zoned HC (Highway Commercial). Our proposal is to establish a PD to
address the overall project continuity as well as provide for several deviations from the City
Standards and HC requirements as follows:
A. Hotel uses, if in accordance with City Standards, will not require an SUP, but will require
P&Z and City Council approval through the Detailed Site Plan Process. This seems a
reasonable request since the City has stated they desire hotel uses in this corridor.
Without any deviations to City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP requirement.
This will allow the owner to market the site to potential hotel users who will know
specifically what requirements must be met for approval.
B. A single gasoline service station may be permitted as shown without the requirements for
an SUP, but will require P&Z and City Council approval through the Detailed Site Plan
Process. Without any deviations to City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP
requirement.
C. A single drive thru will be permitt
ed only on an end cap of a Retail Building as shown on
the concept plan and will not require an SUP but will require P&Z and City Council
approval through the Detailed Site Plan Process. This seems a reasonable request since
the City has stated they desire restaurant uses in this corridor. Without any deviations to
City Code, we see no reason to apply the SUP requirement. This wil er to
market the site to potential restaurant users who will know fbijients
must be met for approval

With the development, we proposed the following code deviations:
A. Reduce the 10' Landscape Buffer Required between lots to 7.5' for the space between
Lots B and D. This area will be utilized to interconnect the entire site to make it
walkable between the Office to the Hotel to QT to the multi -tenant buildings as well as
provide areas for employees/guests/patrons to gather, enjoy their lunch, spend time
outside, etc.
B. Given the tract is surrounded by roadway Frontages we request that the 50% "in front"
parking requirements be removed. With ROW being on all sides, even as buildings are
shifted closer to one ROW, the additional parking required would still be located in the
front.
C. Reduction of the Non -Vehicular Open Space from 15% to 7%. This seems a reasonable
request since each lot is part of the overall development, which as a whole, would meet
the requirement. The development is designed to be walkable with all lots having full
access to utilize the open spaces provided on each lot.
