Planning Commission recommends approval for office-warehouse at 4000 Texoma Parkway
Summary
The Denison Planning Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit allowing an office-warehouse for online sales of racing-simulation parts at 4000 Texoma Parkway. Staff recommended approval with landscaping to be completed before certificate of occupancy, although installation may be delayed due to weather.
The Denison Planning Commission on Jan. 14 recommended approval of a conditional use permit for an office-warehouse at 4000 Texoma Parkway, a property identified by Grayson County Appraisal District number 449837.
The permit will allow an online retail operation to store racing-simulation parts and other gaming items; the applicant told the commission there will be no production on site. Planning staff recommended approval, noting the proposed hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, a two-person staff, and no walk-in customer traffic. Staff also said the project is consistent with the city's future land use and comprehensive plans.
David Bridgeforth, the applicant and principal of K2 Partners, said his business, Sim Ray City, is currently based at 2022 South Crockett in Sherman and is under contract to purchase the Texoma Parkway property. Bridgeforth said the operation is intended for online sales and storage and described the company's current location and business model.
PCGS Property LLC representative Prasanta Panta spoke in opposition, saying his company owns the adjoining lot and that the proposed use could affect planned residential development next door. Planning staff told Panta the existing building is already at the site and offered to discuss impacts after the hearing.
Staff told the commission that landscaping must be installed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy but that, given recent weather, staff would work with the applicant on timing if materials or installation were delayed. Staff also said the parking layout adjacent to State Highway 91 provides adequate access and traffic flow.
Commissioners voted to recommend approval. The matter will move to Denison City Council for final action.
The planning record identifies the request as a conditional use permit, case referenced in the transcript variously as 2024-13CUP (transcript shows some numbering confusion).
