Staff report by Harwell. The applicant is seeking to annex and zone the subject property to develop
a retail and office center. Following the April 17, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting,
the Applicant decided to revise the original zoning request to a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
district that includes additional development and design standards to better mitigate the impact the
proposed may have on the adjacent residential neighborhood. In their letter of intent (Exhibit 4), the
applicant describes how the proposed PUD would facilitate neighborhood serving retail uses, as
well as larger scale commercial and office activities. The subject property is located approximately
240 feet just east of the intersection of SH 29 and Parkside Parkway on the south side of SH 29.
Currently, the property is not developed. It consists of a few scattered outbuildings with a vacant
single-family home. This property is located over the Edward's Aquifer Recharge Zone and has

provide cross access connection between the properties. Alternate Commissioner Fuller asked if it
will provide a connection to the neighborhood. Harwell explained it will.
There was discussion about connectivity between the lots and to the neighborhood, including
traffic flow. Chair Brashear asked if this will be a phased project, and Harwell explained that it will
be.

areas, and rendering of the retail and office buildings to the Commission.

related uses for example. Pool answered that they can set a percentage or limitations for those uses.

reduce lighting for neighbors that back up to the project.
