ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

151 Coffee proposes a coffee shop with drive-through in front of the existing retail center at the southwest quadrant of West Main Street and South Edmonds Lane.  The limited width of the existing TxDOT right-of-way creates practical difficulties in complying with tree location standards.  As a result, the following alternative standard is requested:  to allow canopy trees to be planted on the private property instead of within the right-of-way as required by Section 17.5-4(d)(1)d.  The Overlay District Board recommended unanimous approval (6-0) of this alternative standard request on March 3, 2020.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the requested alternative standard as set forth in the caption above.
