AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on an
alternative to the parking lot screening requirements for a proposed freestanding
restaurant located at 4471 State Highway 6 South. Case # 10-00500235 (MKH)
Staff Planner Matthew Hilgemeier presented the staff report stating that Whataburger is
proposing to construct a new freestanding structure near the intersection of William D. Fitch
Parkway and the State Highway 6 South Frontage Road. When constructed, the new structure
will be part of a building plot that has more than 150,000 gross square feet of building floor
area. Section 7.9.F.4 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that when a building is
part of a building plot with a gross building area of 150,000 square feet or more, that all
parking areas be screened from the public right-of-way using a three-foot berm. As an
alternative, Whataburger proposes to provide a row of shrubs that will have a minimum
height of 24 inches at installation and reach 36 -inches within one calendar year of planting.
When the Whataburger building is constructed, the parking area will have a finished floor
elevation that is approximately seven feet lower than the State Highway 6 South Frontage
Road. The applicant stated that since the proposed site is that much lower than the adjacent
street, a three-foot high berm constructed on the Whataburger property would be ineffective
as a screening mechanism.
Alan King motioned to approve the item with the condition that the Dwarf Buford Holly
plant be used instead of the Agarito plant in the screening along the State Highway 6 frontage
road; Bill Mather seconded the motion; which passed unopposed (6-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Possible action and discussion on future agenda items - A
Design Review Board Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not
been given. A statement of specific factual information or the recitation of existing
policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to place the subject
on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.
