APPLICANT:
Rob Hudson with Sterling Barnett Little, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is proposing to develop a 5,947 square foot outpatient medical clinic located on an undeveloped 1.156 acre lot. The applicant is requesting an ADP to deviate from the following sections of the Denton Development Code (DDC):
1. Section 35.13.13.3.A.3 specifies that the primary orientation of a building shall be toward the street rather than the parking area.
2. Section 35.13.13.3.C.1 states that all parking areas are to be located behind the building or on one or both sides of the building.
3. Section 35.13.10.C.3, Landscaping Standards where front parking is allowed -
a. Parking lots shall be separated from the street frontage by a 15-foot landscape area to reduce visual impacts.
c. A landscape berm with a maximum 1 on 4 side slope on both sides shall be designed within the 15-foot landscape area to help screen the parking lot.
An ADP provides an applicant the option to alter from the design criteria of Subchapter 13 of the DDC through a discretionary site plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The purpose of the submitted ADP is to allow the development of Phase 1 medical clinic with the requested deviations.
