Regular Agenda
Agenda Item #3: Consider a revision to an 8.26± acre portion of the General Development
Plan for Greenville Center Addition, generally located southwest of
Greenville Avenue and Stacy Road. (GDP -4/4/11-114) [Greenville Center
Addition]
Tiffany McLeod, Planner, spoke to the Commiss4on. The property is located southwest of the
Greenville Avenue and Stacy Road intersection and is zoned Shopping Center SC. A General
Development Plan (GDP) for this property was approved to October 2007 This GDP is a
revision of that plan The configuration of Lots 1-8 has not been altered since these lots have
already been platted. However, the configuration of the remaining lots is changing. The revised
GDP shows fourteen (14) lots; an increase of one lot from the original plan. A drive-through
restaurant is being proposed for Lot 14 and is currently going through the Site Plan process.
A multi -tenant monument sign is being proposed for Lots 12 and 13. Since Lot 13 does not front
any major street this sign provides a mechanism for way -finding and advertisement. An
amenitized detention pond is also being proposed for engineering purposes and to provide a
buffer zone between this development and the residential area to the south.
The General Development Plan has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and
meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code.
Staff recommends approval.
9"d Vice Chairman Dreggors inquired about the line labeled "zoning line' Ms. McLeod stated
the zoning line designates the boundary between the portion of the property that is zoned
Corridor Commercial from the portion zoned Shopping Center.
I" Vice Chairman asked if staff considered the impact of noise from the drive—through restaurant
(on Lot 13) on the adjacent residents. Ms. McLeod answered that there is a noise level standard
established in the Allen Land Development Code. This standard will be placed on the Site Plan
for the drive-through restaurant and the establishment must adhere to it at all times.
Commissioner Kizer stated a concern about noise from the proposed drive-through restaurant as
well.
Motion: Upon a motion by 2nd Vice Chairman Dreggors, and a second by
Commissioner Trahan, the Commission voted 6 IN FAVOR, and 0
OPPOSED, to approve the revision to an 8.26± acre portion of the General
Development Plan for Greenville Center Addition.
