Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider the request for a zoning amendment for industrial development on approximately 28 acres located at 2645 LBJ Freeway within Planned Development District No. 74 (PD-74); and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Mike Clark, Winkelmann & Associates, Inc., requests to amend Planned Development District No. 74 (PD-74) for a new warehouse/distribution development totaling 28 acres. The subject property is bounded by Christian Parkway to the north, Ford Road to the west, LBJ Freeway (IH-635) to the south, and Metro Boulevard to the east.
The subject property consists of four tracts. Tracts 1 and 2 (12000-12300 Ford Road) are developed with a total of four office buildings. Tract 3 (11800 Ford Road) is vacant, and Tract 4 (2645 LBJ Freeway) is the site of the existing Wyndham Garden hotel.
Warehouse and distribution uses are already permitted on the majority of this site. On March 19, 2024, the City Council approved a zoning amendment for Tracts 1, 2, and 3, allowing the construction of three new warehouse buildings (Buildings A, B, and C), establishing use restrictions, hours of operation, screening requirements, and granting certain deviations from PD-74 standards. A conceptual site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations were also adopted as part of that ordinance (Ordinance No. 3850).
The current proposal expands on this approval by incorporating Tract 4 into the development. If approved, the Wyndham Garden hotel would be demolished to allow construction of a fourth office and warehouse building (Building D). Slight modifications to the approved site plan and standards for Tracts 1-3 are also requested, as described in this report. Associated parking, streetscape, and landscaping improvements are proposed for all four tracts.
