Keller council approves several SUPs and an AutoZone plan with design conditions
Summary
The council approved specific-use permits for a chiropractic office, a medical spa and counseling offices, and amended a planned-development to allow an AutoZone store with conditions limiting the PD to the current applicant and removing red striping from proposed elevations.
Keller — At its Dec. 2 meeting the Keller City Council approved multiple land-use items in Old Towne Keller and elsewhere: a specific-use permit (SUP) for Firm Foundation Wellness Center (a chiropractic office at 140 Pecan Street), an SUP for InfuZen Health (a medical spa at 135 South Main Street), an SUP allowing counseling offices to operate at 208 South Main (Main Street Depot), and a planned-development amendment to allow indoor auto-parts retail (AutoZone) on Track 2 of PD-1092.
Firm Foundation Wellness Center: Staff (S13) said the applicant will occupy an existing 1,744‑square‑foot building, operate by appointment with 2–3 employees, and that staff mailed 21 neighborhood notices with no responses; planning staff and the planning-and-zoning commission recommended approval. Council closed the public hearing and approved the SUP as presented by unanimous vote.
InfuZen Health: The applicant told the council the business (relocating from Fort Worth) will offer IV therapy, vitamin injections and holistic-wellness services, employ about five people and operate extended hours. Councilmembers debated whether Old Towne is seeing a concentration of medical uses and whether that matches the city’s vision. The council approved the SUP 5–1; one councilmember recorded a dissent, reflecting those balance-of-use concerns.
Counseling offices at Main Street Depot: Staff reported five counseling tenants already operate in the multi-tenant building and that staff mailed 27 notices; Carrie Moon (S18), the property manager, asked council to approve to regularize the existing leases. Council approved the SUP; planning staff noted the planning-and-zoning commission had recommended approval by 5–1.
AutoZone planned-development amendment: Staff described an 8,160‑square‑foot building the applicant would remodel for enclosed auto-parts retail with no on‑site vehicle repair; the site already exceeds the parking requirement. Neighbors and councilmembers raised aesthetic concerns about corporate striping. Carolyn O’Brien (S9), the AutoZone representative, said the company preferred to be in Keller and had modified the design to reduce striping on some façades. Council approved the PD amendment 6–0 with two conditions: (1) the PD change applies specifically to the current applicant/AutoZone and (2) removal of the proposed red striping from building elevations. Staff said renovations could begin in April 2026 with a potential July 2026 opening.
Votes at a glance: Firm Foundation Wellness Center SUP — approved (unanimous); InfuZen Health SUP — approved 5–1; Counseling Offices SUP (208 S. Main) — approved (recorded as 5–1 in the council minutes); AutoZone PD amendment — approved 6–0 with design and applicant-specific conditions.
Councilmembers emphasized Old Towne’s pedestrian character and said the SUP process gives the council discretion to balance reuse of vacant buildings with long‑term vision for the district. Applicants and staff confirmed they will comply with conditions; staff will prepare final ordinance language and record the PD amendment and SUP conditions in the official files.
