Scottsdale Crossing Commerce Park rezoning
City Council heard a request from DDelta Scottsdale Lane Inc. to rezone 25.06 acres near Scottsdale Drive and the frontage road of Toll 183A from general office and open space greenbelt to general retail-conditional overlay use. The zoning change would add more services to the Scottsdale Crossing Commerce Park, according to city documents.

Some of the possible uses for the area include warehouse and storage, research and development, office space and manufacturing.
Six residents from the neighboring residential community spoke in opposition to the rezoning during the public forum before the Cedar Park Planning and Zoning Commission on May 16. P&Z commissioners voted 7-0 to recommend the rezoning for the property, with the caveat that the easement between the residential community and commercial buildings would be increased to a minimum of 50 feet.
City Council unanimously approved the rezoning during the June 22 meeting.
Dog boarding kennel
City Council also heard a request for a special-use permit from Chisholm Creek Properties LLC to build a Camp Bow Bow dog boarding kennel on a 1-acre tract at 1805 Clover Lane.
Camp Bow Wow is a North American chain with more than 130 stores, including one in Pflugerville, which offers dog day care and boarding services. Cedar Park Planning Manager Melissa McCollum said the property was zoned general retail, and the 1-acre tract is surrounded by a mixture of other properties, such as a gas station, church and recreation facility.
She said staff recommended approval of the special-use permit, which grants certain land uses that are not permitted in a particular zoning district.
“With special permit approval criteria, it really looks at access in circulation, compatibility with adjacent properties, and compliance with [Cedar Park’s] comprehensive plan,” she said.
The planning and zoning commission held a public hearing May 16 on the item, and two citizens opposed to the special-use permit spoke. P&Z commissioners voted 6-1 in favor of the permit during the meeting.
City Council unanimously approved the special-use permit during the June 22 meeting.
