Council unanimously approves Bottlecap Alley site plan for a new restaurant in Glade Parks

The Euless City Council unanimously approved a site plan for Bottlecap Alley, a stand‑alone restaurant planned for a 1.292‑acre lot in the Glade Parks development (PD‑1944).

Interim Planning Director Lisa Payne described the proposal as a 6,692‑square‑foot single‑story building with an extensive north patio with turfed yard games, pergolas and a wood fence, and a drive‑through window on the south side intended for online order pickup. She said the property is the last vacant parcel in that Glade Parks block, sits north of the Salata location and south of Torchy’s Tacos, and is adjacent to Burlington and Total Wine. Payne told the council that the plan provides sidewalks along Rio Grande and Highway 121 and that the landscape plan exceeds minimum requirements with large trees (cedar elm, bald cypress, Chinese pistache, live oak) plus ornamental species and shrubs.

Payne said the site plan complies with the city’s code and PD standards, that Development Services certified the plans on Feb. 17, 2026, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval on March 3. She stated, “So staff recommends approval and I’m here for questions.” Councilmember Eads moved approval; Councilmember Paddell seconded and the presiding officer recorded that the motion passed unanimously.

Project specifics read into the record include a required 67 parking spaces and a proposed 83 spaces; a building height generally at 20 feet with a 27‑foot peak; and a photometric plan proposing eight 25‑foot tall light poles in the parking lot plus 18 gooseneck fixtures mounted at varying heights between 8 and 15 feet. The applicant was present at the meeting and no substantive public opposition was recorded in the transcript.
