COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed this project at the February 14, 2017 Commission Meeting and
recommended approval:
Approval of a Site Plan for Ashworth South Retail Center (3250 Ashworth Road)
City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request made by the Applicant, AP GPP,
L.C., to approve a site plan for a multi-tenant retail/ commercial building. The property in
question is approximately 2 acres in size and located at the south east corner of Grand
Prairie Parkway and Ashworth Road.
Mrs. DeBoer explained that the proposed project would include the construction of a
10,700 square foot multi-tenant retail/commercial building, consisting of an identified
five tenant spaces and the possibility of a drive-thru as well as a patio space located on
the east side of the building. The trash enclosure for the proposed building is located on
the east side of the parking lot and the proposed exterior lights for the site has been
reviewed and is in compliance with the Site Plan Ordinance.
Mrs. DeBoer advised that access to the site will be provided off of the private road to the
east, Vermillion Court. The applicant has proposed 91 parking spaces, 4 of which will be
Handicap accessible stalls, which exceeds the minimum required 43 parking spaces. The
site plan also identified 5 bicycle parking spaces in the form of a bike rack located along
the northeast side of the building.
Mrs. DeBoer stated that all utilities will be extended to the subject property with current
plat improvements. Storm water detention will be provided in the temporary detention
basin located on the property to the west of Grand Prairie Parkway, which will eventually
be detained in a future regional storm water retention basin. The site plan indicates that
41% open space will be provided, which meets and exceeds the minimum requirements
of 20%, and the landscaping will include the installation of a berm located on the north
side of the site in order to provide screening from the residential properties to the north of
Ashworth Road.
Mrs. DeBoer explained that the proposed building will be constructed of a variety of
materials, all of which meet and exceed the Kettlestone Design Guidelines and the
elevations meet the intent of both the Site Plan Ordinance as well as the Kettlestone
Design Guidelines.
Mrs. DeBoer concluded that at this time staff is comfortable with the site plan and would
recommend approval of the site plan subject to remaining staff comments and review of
all legal documents by the City Attorney.
• Commissioner Broderick questioned if the line on the site plan indicated striped
open access meant that two-way traffic was possible at the spot indicated for the
drive through. Development Director, Brad Deets, advised that yes, the marked
area was wide enough for two way traffic. Commissioner Broderick then
questioned if staff had any concerns for possible traffic issues with the two way
traffic in that area. Mr. Deets clarified that with the lay out of the access points to
the site, most traffic would be diverted around the building for the drive through,
minimizing any two way traffic issues.
• Commissioner Shanks questioned if the proposed number of parking spaces
seemed excessive for the Kettlestone area. Mr. Deets advised that the
requirements were lower in the Kettlestone area at 4 spaces for every 1,000 square
feet of building space, but with a retail space that has future tenant potential, the
goal is to not limit the types of tenants possible due to parking limitations.
• Commissioner Stonebrook questioned the limited number of handicap stalls. Mr.
Deets advised that the requirements were set by state code, and that the provided
amount were in compliance.
• Commissioner Broderick questioned if the applicant had marked where a grease
interceptor would be located should one of the tenants be a restaurant use. Mr.
Deets advised that the Staff typically asks for it to be placed in the site plan and
that the current proposed location was on the south of the building.
• Commissioner Schmidt questioned if the grease interceptor could be used for
more than one tenant, both Mr. Deets and Commissioner Broderick explained the
lengthy process of applying with the appropriate departments to be in compliance
in regards to grease interceptors, stating that all uses have to be accounted for on
the initial submittal and that in most cases it is more cost effective to have a larger
interceptor for any potential overflow, instead of adding a larger item later in the
event of usage changes.
• Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the proposed screening would be substantial
in order to provide a buffer for the residential homes to the north of the property.
Mrs. DeBoer stated that the Staff was adamant about the type of landscaping used
to screen the residential from the commercial use. Currently the proposed berm is
in a City Easement, so City Staff are working with the applicant in order to move
the berm further south, or to create suitable hedging that would provide the same
amount of coverage for the residential areas.
• Commissioner Streit asked if the improvements to the private street Vermillion
Court would be completed with this project and Mrs. DeBoer advised that the
private street would be improved during this project.
• Commissioner Shanks questioned if there was a balcony included on the
elevations. Mrs. DeBoer stated that was part of the overhang and had to do with
the way signage was proposed to be placed on the building.
Commissioner Schmidt moved to approve the Site Plan for Ashworth South Retail Center
(3250 Ashworth Road), subject to any remaining staff comments. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Fontenot. Ayes: Stonebrook, Fontenot, Streit, Broderick,
Hoifeldt, Shanks and Schmidt. Nays: none. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: At this time staff comments related to the site plan
have been addressed and staff would recommend approval.
