MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: October 9, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of PD-205R3-HC (Planned Development-205 Revision 3-Highway
Commercial), to amend the Planned Development to attach a Detail Site Plan to allow a
6,520-square-foot medical building on 1.39 acres of property located north of the
northwest corner of S.H. 121 and Plaza Blvd.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
The request is to allow the construction of a 6,520-square foot medical building on 1.39 acres of property.
Introduction:
The requested Planned Development amendment is to allow a 6,520-square-foot medical building on
1.39 acres of property. The replatting of Lots 3 and 4 into one lot, as previously anticipated in the 2005
PD revision, was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 20, 2018, the same
meeting that this PD was heard. The architectural character of this building is similar to the buildings to
the south and west of it, consisting mainly of brick, with some elevations also incorporating cast stone,
stone and EIFS. Access to this site is provided via a proposed driveway approach on Plaza Blvd as well
as an existing access and fire lane easement that runs north-south from Lot 1 through Lot 6. The fire lane
will be extended out to Plaza Blvd. Parking provided exceeds the minimum requirement and the building
will be fully sprinklered. Photometrics provided indicate that they will meet ordinance requirements for
lighting and glare. An accent wall shown on the northwest elevation, will incorporate their sign which
is proposed to be their registered logo “questcare Medical Clinic”. They will have individually mounted
channel letters and logo both on the cast stone wall and the stone wall on the southwest elevation. The
sign size meets ordinance requirements.

205R3-HC, Questcare, with the following conditions:
