City planning staff told the council the applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel so Lot B (closest to the water tower) would host a drive-through tenant and Lot A would be a sit-down restaurant. \"As you mentioned, this is a 1.89 acre property currently zoned like commercial located at El Dorado and Little Elm Parkway,\" planning staff member Miss Olga said during the council presentation.

The rezoning package includes several deviations from standard requirements: a reduced minimum lot size for one lot (from 1.0 acre to 0.75 acre), allowance for a shared dumpster between the two small lots, a request to permit faux glazing to meet storefront percentage requirements, and a multi-tenant monument sign serving both lots. The applicant also asked to waive the requirement for an eight-foot masonry wall along the property's rear where the adjacent land is an HOA-maintained open space already planted with trees.

Olga said the site plan meets parking, setback and stacking requirements and that architecture would largely comply with the city's glazing and design standards. She noted the double-row tree planting requirement could not be fully met because of a 90-foot easement along the rear property line; the applicant proposes a single row of street trees plus a hedge row and additional plantings in the HOA open space.

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval (7-0), citing the benefit of having two concrete tenants rather than leaving part of the site vacant. The council opened a public hearing and, with no public comments, voted to adopt the ordinance. The motion passed with the affirmative voice vote of the four members present.

The ordinance directs that the project proceed to standard civil and engineering review, including any required traffic impact analysis, permitting and final site plan review before building permits are issued.","The Little Elm Town Council approved Ordinance No. 1805 to rezone about 1.89 acres for two commercial tenants, allowing a drive-through and reduced lot size; Planning and Zoning unanimously recommended approval.","actionData","errors"]
