Keller City Council unanimously approves consent items and three special‑use permits
Summary
Council approved consent items (minutes and a three‑year Microsoft enterprise agreement) and three SUPs: a 340‑sq‑ft accessory dwelling unit at 7110 Shady Grove, The Skin Loft medical spa at 1675 N. Tarrant Pkwy, and a Baylor Scott & White medical office at 1006 Keller Pkwy. All motions passed by voice vote, 6–0.
The Keller City Council voted unanimously on May 19 to approve consent agenda items and three separate specific‑use permits (SUPs) following presentations and public hearings.
Consent actions: Council moved to approve consent items G1 (minutes of the May 5 regular meeting), G2 (minutes of the May 12 special meeting), and G3 (a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a three‑year Microsoft enterprise agreement with Software House International). The motion was moved by Councilman Dobberley and seconded by Councilwoman Brennan; the vote carried 6–0.
SUP H1 — Accessory dwelling unit: Staff presented an SUP application for a 340‑square‑foot accessory dwelling unit on a 5.2‑acre property at 7110 Shady Grove Road; the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6–0 and staff reported no written public responses to the mailed notices. Council closed the public hearing, made a motion to approve and adopted the SUP by a 6–0 voice vote.
SUP H2 — The Skin Loft Medical Spa: The council considered an application for The Skin Loft to operate a 2,033‑square‑foot medical spa at 1675 North Tarrant Parkway, Unit 200. The applicant said the operation would begin with three on‑site employees and outlined services including Botox, dermal fillers and laser treatments. The city mailed six notices and staff reported six letters of support; Planning and Zoning recommended approval 6–0. Council closed the hearing and approved the SUP 6–0.
SUP H3 — Baylor Scott & White medical office: Council reviewed a previously discussed SUP for Baylor Scott & White Rehabilitation Services to relocate into an existing 4,791‑square‑foot lease space at 1006 Keller Parkway. Staff mailed 12 notices; Planning & Zoning recommended approval 5–1. One member of the public and two former mayors spoke in favor of the request. The council approved the SUP 6–0.
Why it matters: The SUP approvals allow new medical and accessory dwelling uses at specific locations in Keller, shaping the mix of services and development in Town Center and other neighborhoods. Officials said the Baylor clinic would expand local therapy capacity and drive foot traffic to nearby merchants. The actions were processing of land‑use requests under the city's Unified Development Code; council left conditions and implementation to staff and standard permitting procedures.
What's next: Approved SUPs may proceed to any required building permits and tenant improvements; staff will monitor implementation and parking/shared‑use arrangements where applicable.
