The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4‑0 to grant a specific use permit for a proposed 10,000‑square‑foot medical office at or near 13400 East U.S. 290, on property owned and proposed by Advantage Construction LLC.

Why it matters: Staff and the applicant told the commission the parcel has constrained access and drainage easements but that medical office use is a lower‑intensity, lower‑turnover option that suits the site. The applicant and staff noted the parcel is not eligible for certain sales‑tax incentives because it was annexed after 2013.

What the commission heard: Robert Battle, a resident, said the medical office would be useful for community health access and asked whether the city had provided Chapter 380 or similar incentives for the site. Staff answered that no Chapter 380 agreements or other incentive contracts exist on the parcel. The applicant described ongoing negotiations about access easements and a shared driveway arrangement for parking.

Staff summary and conditions: Staff said the SUP is a request to allow the use; final site layout, parking and shared access agreements will be addressed during site‑plan review and permitting. The commission’s approval allows the applicant to proceed with the SUP and then submit formal site plans and required agreements.

Outcome: The motion to approve the SUP passed unanimously, 4‑0. Commissioners said they expect shared‑access and parking agreements and standard engineering review to be completed during later permitting.
