Commission approves site plan for new multi‑tenant retail building on S. Goliad

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved SP2026‑010 on April 14, a site plan for an approximately 8,580‑square‑foot multi‑tenant retail and restaurant building on a 1.412‑acre parcel in the SH‑205 corridor overlay.

Staff noted the plan generally meets the Unified Development Code density and dimensional standards but initially showed the minimum landscape percentage at 19% (the requirement is 20%); the applicant submitted a corrected plan before the meeting and staff added a condition requiring submission of the updated landscape plan prior to civil plan submittal. The Architecture Review Board reviewed the proposed building elevations and recommended approval; the applicant provided compensatory measures for requested design variances, including a 40‑foot landscape buffer in lieu of a 20‑foot buffer and additional stone material in excess of the 20% requirement in some elevations.

Applicant Keaton Mai and developer representative Michael Hampton answered commissioners' questions; Commissioners Hagerman and others expressed support for the elevations and landscaping approach. Commissioner Hagerman moved to approve SP2026‑010 with the stated conditions; the motion passed 7–0.
