STAFF RECOMMENDATION |
Approval of 1) a Specific Use Provision for a Used Goods, Retail Sales (Indoors) Use and 2) a Plan for a Used Goods, Retail Sales (Indoors) Use on a property zoned Community Retail (CR) District. |
BACKGROUND |
The subject property is developed with a 25,394 square-foot multi-tenant shopping center. The applicant wishes to move into Suite 105, a 530 square-foot suite to open a Used Goods, Retail Sales (Indoors) Use. |
SITE DATA |
The site is 2.01 acres and is accessed from two points along Broadway Boulevard and one point along Robin Road. |
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING |
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) District 18-40 with a Community Retail (CR) District base zoning. The Community Retail (CR) District is intended to accommodate a variety of retail, service, and business establishments that may or may not be designed in a shopping center configuration. The district may be used as a transition district between lower intensity retail or office uses and more intense uses. A CR district is generally appropriate along major transportation corridors, but is generally not appropriate in proximity to low-density residential districts without significant buffering and screening features. |
CONSIDERATIONS |
- The subject property is currently constructed with a 25,394 square-foot shopping center. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the property at this time.
- The proposed business is a thrift store that will sell both new and used items. The store will largely consist of clothing, furniture, fashion accessories, home décor, kitchen products, kids toys, and other household items. According to the applicant the goal is to provide a middle ground business between a standard retail store and a thrift store.
- The request does not trigger any additional screening or landscaping standards.
- The request does not trigger any building design standards.
- The applicant is requesting approval of a twenty (20) year Specific Use Provision. The SUP Time Period Guide recommends twenty (20) to thirty (30) years for a Used Goods, Retail Sales (indoors).

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN |
The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan designates this property as Neighborhood Centers. Neighborhood Centers provide a mix of retail, services and community gathering places. This center should be appropriately scaled to adjacent residential areas. This type of center is predominantly, but not exclusively, non-residential. Neighborhood centers are served by local roads and transit routes. The use adds retail business activity to the area and is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN Per the Economic Development Strategic Plan, the proposal is considered part of a “Retail Strip” building type and will generate sales tax for the city. |
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES |
The surrounding properties to the West are zoned Planned Development (PD) District 18-40 for Single-Family uses, containing mostly empty lots and Single-Family homes. Properties to the North and South are also zoned Planned Development (PD) 18-40, for Community (CR) District Retail Uses. These properties contain various retail, restaurant, personal services, and office businesses. Finally, properties to the East across Broadway Boulevard are zoned Community Retail (CR) District and contain similar retail-oriented uses. |
