Updates to the planned development district for Cachet Salons & Spa were unanimously approved by Town Council during the Dec. 16 meeting.
The details
The salon and spa will be a two-story, 13,580-square-foot building, which will include 21 on-site parking spaces and 33 off-site. It will be located south of Lakeside Parkway along Long Prairie Road and Northwood Drive.
The establishment will have multiple tenants because Cachet Salons & Spa leases spaces in the building to independent business owners in the beauty and wellness industry. The concept allows for shared amenities and marketing opportunities, Matt Muse, owner of the spa, said at the Dec. 16 council meeting.
Muse was seeking modifications to development standards in the area to get different elevations for the project and to do something called time-based shared parking where the business shares parking spaces with other establishments within walking distance, such as the recently approved Marty B’s Coffee Co. in the area.
Zooming out
The building should be able to accommodate 40 individual studios, Muse said. His Fort Worth location was 100% occupied most of this year, he said.
Town Council members Adam Schiestel and Brian Taylor raised concerns about the amount of parking spaces proposed for the project. Schiestel asked Muse if he suspects much of the business will come from people walking or driving to the location. Muse said it would be a mix.
Muse said some of the tenants at other Cachet locations live within walking distance. Lexin Murphy, director of development services, told council members that town staff reviewed the parking plans and found no issues.
What they’re saying
Muse said he was excited to open the new location.
“[Lakeside Crossing is] absolutely the type of community that the type of tenants we attract to Cachet want to be a part of,” he said.
Muse said that about a year ago he took some Lakeside Crossing residents to Cachet’s Lewisville location and solicited their feedback on the facility he was proposing for their community. He implemented this feedback in the final design of the project.
“We got a lot of really great feedback because I really wanted to know, ‘[Who] are the residents of Lakeside?’’ Muse said. “We made some very meaningful updates to our design just to make it feel like it’s a part of Lakeside.”
