Commission approves Lakeside Kiddie Academy site plan near Lakeside Parkway

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.
