Colleyville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a zoning change that will allow a Lidl grocery store to open in the city. The vote comes after the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denying the zoning change for the store, which will be located at 4007 Colleyville Boulevard, Colleyville. Because of the denial recommendation, City Council's vote had to be unanimous in order to pass. Director of Economic Development Mark Wood introduced the store to the council, saying Lidl grocery stores are well-known and respected internationally. He said having the grocery store come to the area would benefit the city and that it was similar to stores such as Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Since the last Colleyville City Council meeting, Lidl has worked with city staff to implement changes recommended by the council. These changes included adding more green space and preserving trees on the store lot, as well as reorienting the building to have the glass front face State Highway 26. "I'm pleased with the changes you've made," Mayor Richard Newton told Lidl representatives. During the public hearing, several Colleyville residents made comments about the store, with a few saying Lidl could give the city more concessions to make it more ideal for the city. After some deliberation, the council decided to approve Lidl under the amendments that the store have a 10-foot public utility drainage easement on the northeast side of the property and that the store should be completed by 2020 or return to council for reconsideration.
