(Z-1/6/16-4) [Starcreek Commercial] Ms. Madhuri Kulkami, Planner, presented the item to the Commission She stated that the item is a PD Amendment and a Public Hearing for Starcreek Commercial. The property is located south of SH 121, and east and west of Watters Road The properties to the west are zoned Planned Development PD No. 40 for Corridor Commercial CC uses. The properties to the east are zoned Community Facilities CF The properties to the south are zoned Planned Development No. 92 for Corridor Commercial CC uses The City of McKinney is located to the north. Ms. Kulkami stated that the properties (north of Ridgeview Drive and on the western and eastern portions of Watters Road, and generally that entire area) were zoned PD No. 92 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial in 2004. The ordinance for this area lists several permitted uses that are all part of recreation, fashion, and retail supporting uses. The main intent of this area is for an entertainment district. The vision of this area as an entertainment district was not only included in the original ordinance, but also emphasized in the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan; which calls out the Starcreek Commercial area to continue development with a focus on additional entertainment, restaurant, and commercial uses. The entertainment district is already being shaped through the existing buildings in the area that includes the Lifetime Fitness, the Cinemark Allen Movie Theater, as well as several restaurants and supportive retail uses Ms. Kulkarni stated that the Zoning Exhibit shows the outlined area of the Starcreek Commercial Development which is approximately 28.26 acres. The owners of this property are requesting to add two uses. Office and Medical/Dental Office to portions of the property These uses will be permitted only within the interior of the outlined development, and will not be permitted on the perimeter of the street frontage as those are the areas where commercial and retail uses are not only more suitable and practical, but also more prominent and keep with the entertainment district vision. The reason to add the Office and Medical/Dental Office uses is primarily to increase daytime traffic which will support the existing and future entertainment, commercial, and retail uses within the area. Surrounding vendors support these additional uses and agree that it will increase daytime traffic and support their businesses Additional required parking will not be a concern as the original ordinance included a specific parking ratio based on the square footage of the building rather than use, so adding these uses will not affect parking January 19, 2016 After further consideration of the request, staff recommends that a maximum building height be incorporated to the Planned Development as part of the Development Regulations as an extra level of control to ensure that the office uses and the medical/dental office uses are ancillary uses rather than primary uses. Ms. Kulkamt then went over the proposed Development Regulations, summarized as follows: - Tract A-1, as shown on the Zoning Exhibit - Permitted Uses: Office and Medical or Dental Office - Prohibited Uses: Medical Clinic - Definitions: Office, Medical or Dental Office, and Medical Clinic for addition reference and clarification - Recommended Addition for Building Height not to exceed 3 stories and 45 feet Ms. Kulkami summarized that the purpose of the request is to add Office and Medical/Dental Office uses to the area for generating additional daytime traffic. Chairman Cocking opened the public hearing. Chairman Cocking closed the public hearing. Motion: Upon a motion by 2"d Vice -Chair Platt, and a second by Commissioner Mangrum, the Commission voted 6 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to recommend approval of the request to amend portions of Planned Development PD No. 92, generally located north of Ridgeview Drive and on the west and east sides of Watters Road, to add "Office Use" and "Medical or Dental Office" use, add a definition of "Medical Clinic", and adopt a Zoning Exhibit for Starereek Commercial with the additional regulation to limit the building height to 3 stories and 45 feet.
