Council approves rezoning of 305 Mandeville to allow neighborhood grocery
Summary
The council rezoned a 1.28-acre tract at 305 Mandeville Avenue from RM to C-3 to permit a neighborhood grocery, approving four staff conditions including design standards, utility installation by the developer, and prohibitions on non-FDA drugs and alcohol sales.
The Carrollton City Council voted to rezone a 1.28-acre tract at 305 Mandeville Avenue from RM (residential multifamily) to C-3 (neighborhood commercial), clearing the way for a family-owned neighborhood grocery.
Planning staff Miss Connolly told the council the applicant seeks the rezoning to relocate an existing small grocery and that the planning commission had approved the request 8–0 with conditions. She read four conditions: construction must meet Article 4 design standards of the unified development ordinance (including off-street parking, curb cuts and dumpster enclosures); the owner/developer must install water and sewer infrastructure; the sale of drugs not approved by the FDA (excluding tobacco) is prohibited; and alcohol sales for on-premises consumption or retail packages are prohibited.
Applicant Diana Perez told the council she owns the family grocery and wants to move to 305 Mandeville because the prior site no longer meets the business’s needs. "The community is already familiar with this location," Perez said, adding the store offers products tailored to neighborhood diversity that larger retailers may not stock.
A councilmember moved to approve the rezoning with the four staff conditions; the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote with no opposition recorded.
The council closed the public hearing and advanced the zoning change; no timeline for construction or final permitting steps was specified at the meeting.
