Century Parkway location and wishes to relocate to the subject property.
Ms. Mohan said that the site will be developed in two phases. Phase I will include the 140,000 square foot
proposed building. The building will be two stories with a maximum height of 42.5 feet. Phase II will add
an additional 60,000 square feet to the site. This Phase II building will either be an expansion to the Phase
I building or constructed as a separate building.
The total parking provided (for the build out of both phases) exceeds the Allen Land Development Code
(ALDC) parking requirement. Additionally, two loading areas (with three docks) are proposed for the
building on Phase L These loading areas are located on the northern side of the building, and meet the
required number of loading areas per the ALDC.
There are two points of access into the development; one on Exchange Parkway and one on Andrews
Parkway. The developer will also be installing deceleration lanes on Exchange Parkway and Andrews
Parkway. A 5' sidewalk will also be constructed along Andrews Parkway.

materials.
