Planning commission unanimously approves preliminary plat and site plan for Lucas Town Center (Hunt Tract)
Summary
The commission approved a preliminary plat and amended site plan for the 41.9954‑acre Lucas Town Center (Hunt Tract) after staff reported completed civil, drainage, traffic and flood reviews and recommended approval; the motion carried 5‑0 with a clarifying amendment to the street name.
The Lucas Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary plat and amended site plan on Aug. 14 for the Lucas Town Center, commonly described in staff materials as the Hunt Tract, a roughly 41.9954‑acre site at the northwest corner of Parker Road and Southview Drive.
City staff (Hilburn) described the submittal as a preliminary plat and site plan for multiple commercial pads and buildings. The presentation listed eight buildings with combined square footage given in the presentation as “1,000,000 or 110,214 square feet combined” (the figure was read aloud from the packet and appeared inconsistent in the presentation). Planned uses noted by staff included a Tom Thumb grocery anchor, a fitness center, a gas station and restaurants; parking was presented as required 1,069 spaces and provided 1,282 spaces. Staff reported that the engineering and construction plans, tree survey, traffic impact analysis, drainage study and flood study had been submitted and reviewed; staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat and amended site plan.
A commissioner moved to approve the request by Blaze Bounds with Kimley‑Horn on behalf of Malouf Interest, Inc., for the preliminary plat and amended site plan for the Hunt Tract. The motion was amended on the record to correct the intersection name to Southview Drive (staff had earlier used “Country Club Road” in dialogue). After the amendment, the commission voted 5‑0 to approve the plat and amended site plan.
Staff stated that adequate provisions have been made for dedication and installation of public improvements, that the plat conforms to applicable zoning and that required copies and certifications were submitted. No public opposition to the preliminary plat was recorded during the meeting.
Next steps: project civil construction will continue through the city engineering and permitting process; staff indicated standard engineering and construction plan approvals remain a precondition for building permits.
