Director Hotelli explained the proposed changes are located in the town’s far northwest (Monarch) and a parcel east near Dixon and FM 407. He said the Monarch plan adds an urban collector to connect internal streets and a minor arterial to support broader connectivity inside the Monarch development; the Dixon amendment would position an urban collector through an open parcel the property owner controls. The town has a letter of support from the property owner for the Dixon alignment.

Hotelli gave basic cross‑section guidance for the classifications: an urban collector is typically a 60‑foot right‑of‑way and resembles the north–south portion of Kirkpatrick north of 1171; an urban minor arterial is typically a 90‑foot right‑of‑way and is similar to Dixon Lane, a four‑lane divided roadway. He said Transportation Commission examined the item on April 8 and unanimously recommended approval; staff intends to forward the amendment to Town Council on May 5.

Commissioners asked about property acquisition and dedication timing; staff said rights‑of‑way would be dedicated as parcels develop and that the town would not be purchasing rights proactively. The commission discussed alignment choices and agreed the proposed locations provide better future driveway and median opportunities than alternative alignments.

Action: the commission voted to recommend approval of MPA25‑00002 (Monarch and Dixon thoroughfare amendment) to Town Council; the Transportation Commission had previously recommended unanimous approval.

What happens next: the amendment will move to Town Council for final action on the schedule shared by staff; subsequent development proposals will be checked for compliance with the adopted thoroughfare classifications and smart‑growth standards.","The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended Town Council approval of map amendments adding an urban collector and urban minor arterial within the Monarch development and a new collector near Dixon and FM 407; the Transportation Commission unanimously recommended approval earlier.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6571757,"Commission approves Lakeside Kiddie Academy site plan near Lakeside Parkway",324,435000,759000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142248-4b1e907a07289cff477a633fc0ccbf4c&start=435&end=759","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142248-4b1e907a07289cff477a633fc0ccbf4c/thumbnail_435000.jpg","/articles/6571757/Flower-Mound/Denton-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Lakeside-Kiddie-Academy-site-plan-near-Lakeside-Parkway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6571757-2b317920d2e429b4f79fbc650399fc83/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012473&Signature=kCdJikX-7UUG4jEl~GeZwOdtt~wnG0T8Ypxq3F6EcCGUD285IY0e7j6mLC80dBnnXIcxn7XWIK6rFx0FUpMA79Wtepl6jSAISVPO6zKMnsytNkakSLDqQ~Lv74sbonIyMEmTQ9nUG61gDYDNaUJEfVpdUk5Kx~CsdaDIsZMajWkP6ILv7QYZ7gkB4o-wqNRgkfnHPVby8GeZ59yWGqO3ibutW5XE-Dzm4vIQqeIk-TdDjE3Y1YMFDMAA9SO4mhBWTIB6cMHPlZt4e3cS0f5yY7InPrCIm9VOVED2YVlFP9J3qYc-ChJ6Yw5Yyf~HmBJiiMz5r2-zTw7NHwohs7OS4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Flower Mound Planning & Zoning Commission approved a site plan (SP204‑0021) for Lakeside Kiddie Academy, a one‑story building proposed on a campus‑commercial parcel south of Lakeside Parkway and west of International Parkway.

Planner Cody Freeman said the building is shown as a single‑story structure of about 15,151 square feet, with the daycare portion taking about 10,765 square feet and the remainder planned for retail/office. Parking calculations presented to the commission showed the ordinance requirement (based on persons accommodated and retail/office ratios) came to 63 required spaces; the applicant provided 52 on‑site spaces, which staff said fell within the town code’s allowable 20% deviation. Freeman also reported the project’s landscape plan complies with the previously approved concept plan, including required street‑yard and parking‑lot trees and a tree biodiversity table to meet the town code.

Commissioners reviewed dumpster placement, parking adjacency, and compliance with prior SUP concept elevations. No exceptions or deviations were requested beyond the allowable code deviation; staff confirmed the application is a site plan with no exceptions and that the final decision‑making body on this application is the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Action: a motion to approve SP204‑0021 carried on the roll call; commissioners indicated the plans are consistent with the previously approved specific use permit and no further exceptions were required.

What happens next: with the commission’s approval the applicant will proceed with any necessary construction submittals in accordance with the approved site plan and engineering requirements.

The recommendation, made during the commission’s regular meeting, would let the applicant build roughly 733 spaces under the requested ratio based on the conceptual plan presented to the commission; under the town’s standard the same building would require about 440 spaces (with a 20% allowance the town would permit up to 528). Commissioners tied their recommendation to mitigation measures the applicant proposed — primarily additional landscaping trees — and noted the full site plan and stormwater/green‑infrastructure design will come back for review.

Commissioners and staff said the proposed deviation is specific to this application and does not change town‑wide parking standards. Planning staff and the applicant described possible mitigation options required under the town ordinance for parking in excess of the allowable 20% deviation, including planting additional trees, increased stormwater treatment (bioswales or rain gardens), or alternate paving standards. The applicant’s conceptual landscape plan shows additional trees; staff said the tree count would be one tree per 10 spaces that exceed the town allowable 20% deviation, above required street yard and parking‑area trees.

Planning staff said the application is being reviewed as a miscellaneous permit specifically for the alternate parking ratio; a complete site plan application — including elevations, detailed landscape and stormwater plans, and engineering — will be required later. Staff noted the applicant may use shared‑parking or a recorded revocable parking agreement if adjacent parcels later develop in a way that changes parking demand.

Applicant representatives described a site‑level parking study of existing H‑E‑B stores in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and cited peak observations that, on busy days, some stores approached or reached full parking occupancy. Jonathan Kirby, the project engineer, said the chain’s parking‑study observations were “Using that as justification for the request.” Becca Wang, the H‑E‑B representative, told the commission, “We will try our hardest to make it a beautiful store because that’s what we do with all of our stores.”

Commissioners pressed the applicant on impervious area and heat‑island impacts from the extra pavement. Several members asked staff and the applicant to pursue green‑infrastructure elements — for example, bioswales and additional tree canopy — at the site‑plan stage. Staff said the town is working on an LDR update to encourage bioswales and other green‑infrastructure techniques and that those elements would be reviewed in detail with the forthcoming site plan.

Action: the commission voted to recommend approval of the miscellaneous application for an alternate parking ratio linked to this applicant and conditioned on the mitigation measures described in the packet; the recommendation will be forwarded to Town Council for final action.

What happens next: the applicant must submit a full site plan for technical review; staff said site‑plan review will address detailed landscaping, stormwater design, and any additional exceptions or conditions.
