(GDP -090617-0001) [Starcreek Village] Ms. Hayley Angel, Planner, presented the item to the Commission. Ms. Angel stated the item is a General Development Plan for Starcreek Village. She stated that the property is generally located south of State Highway 121 and west of Watters Road. To the north, across State Highway 121, is the City of McKinney. To the east, across Watters Road, the properties are zoned Planned Development No 92 Condor Commercial CC. To the west, the property is zoned Planned Development No 40 Corridor Commercial CC. To the south, the property is zoned Planned Development No 92, Corridor Commercial CC. Ms. Angel stated that the property is currently zoned Planned Development No. 92 Corridor Commercial. She noted that the proposed General Development Plan (GDP) includes the street layouts and lots. She stated that the proposed GDP is for 8.236+ acres and shows three lots. Lot 1 is 2.819± acres for retail and restaurant uses. Lot 2 is 3.228+ acres and proposes retail and restaurant uses on the northern end of the lot with office uses to the south. Lot 3 is 2.189+ acres for retail and restaurant uses. Ms. Angel noted that there are three access points into the site; two access points on Watters Road and one access point on State Highway 121. Ms. Angel stated that the GDP has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code. Commissioner Metevier noted that the information staff provided stated that the Planned Development was approved in 2016 but that the 2016 amendment does not include the hard corner of State Highway 121 and Watters Road. Ms. Angel stated that the Commissioner was correct and that the 2016 amendment did not address the hard comer. She noted that the 2016 amendments only amended the allowed uses outlined in the original Planned Development 92 to allow office uses in the back of the property. She noted that this was part of the reason for the GDP, as the hard corner does still meet the original Planned Development PD 92 and that the GDP allowed staff to determine that the overall site was in conformance with all the applicable provisions of Planned Development PD 92. Commissioner Metevier noted that staff identified three separate lots in the GDP and asked if each lot would be sold and developed individually. Ms. Angel stated that the applicant intends to Final Plat the hard comer first. She noted staff would require a Preliminary Plat for the entire development but that it is the applicant's choice to Final Plat a part or the entire property. Commissioner Metevier stated that the data summary table provided in the GDP has a parking requirement 4.5 spaces per 1000 square feet but that the Allen Land Development Code has different requirements. He noted that the GDP lists 323 parking spaces required, but when the provisions of the Allen Land Development Code are used, the required parking would be 420. Ms. Angel stated that Planned Development amendments are amendments to the Allen Land Development Corte. She noted that, specific to this property, when the Planned Development stipulates puking ' requirements, those requirements take precedence over what is written in the Allen Land Development Code. December 5, 2017 ' Commissioner Metevier asked staff how Lot 3 requires 17 parking spaces but is only providing 74 parking spaces. Ms. Angel stated that at bottom of the GDP, there is a note that states Lot 2 and Lot 3 are required to file a shared parking agreement at the time of site plan. She noted that, as a whole, the three lots do have enough parking, but that the lot did not meet the parking regulations due to the placement of the lot line. Chairman Trahan asked if there was a deceleration lane for the northern entry, as when he drove to the site, the distance from the off ramp of State Highway 121 to the righthand tum lane on Watters Road was short. Mr. Cotton noted that a Traffic Impact Analysis was completed. He stated that the orientation of State Highway 121 and Watters Road intersection already accommodates a lane for deceleration. He noted that it functions as an acceleration lane from eastbound State Highway 121 onto southbound Watters Road and that currently functions as deceleration for the parcel behind the subject property. He noted that staff anticipated it would do the same for the subject property. He stated that the property did not require an additional deceleration lane for the middle entrance because the third lane of Watters Road will be built to the interior of the road and that the lane will always be an acceleration and deceleration lane. Chairman Trahan reiterated that he understood staff had ran the calculations but still had some concerns. Mr. Cotton stated that staff believes that it is an acceptable use for that lane as it currently functions as an acceleration and deceleration lane. Motion: Upon a motion by V Vice -Chair Platt, and a second by Commissioner ' Metevier, the Commission voted 5 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to approve the General Development Plan for Starcreek Village; generally located south of State Highway 121 and west of Watters Road.
