Commission approves preliminary plat for 0.924‑acre retail site at 11804 Elam Road
Summary
Commissioners approved staff's recommendation to preliminarily plat 0.924 acres at 11804 Elam Road for an 8,450 sq ft local-retail building (application 005-2026); staff said the zoning allows low‑intensity retail uses and parking will conform to the 1 per 250 sq ft standard.
The commission voted to approve preliminary plat application 005-2026 for a 0.924-acre parcel at 11804 Elam Road to accommodate an 8,450-square-foot retail building. Staff said the site is zoned local retail and described access, utilities and landscape requirements.
During questioning, staff explained that local retail allows bakeries, restaurants and small offices but prohibits gas stations, convenience stores and auto repair. "So local retail essentially allows, you know, a bakery, potentially a restaurant, any retail store, an office, like a medical office of some sort," the staff presenter said. Commissioners also asked about a potential median cut on Elam; staff said a median opening was not proposed because the traffic study did not require one.
No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Commissioner Watson moved to approve the preliminary plat; Commissioner Gardner seconded and the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
