What happened
The applicant, Sarah Politisk from design firm Kimley-Horn and Associates, requested the tabling because she wanted to receive more feedback from the Texas Department of Transportation about access to the property from Colleyville Boulevard, according to an email sent to city staff.
The details
Located southwest of the intersection of Colleyville Boulevard and Tennison Parkway near the Monterra neighborhood, the warehouse will be one story and would be 45 feet in height with the parapet walls, according to city documents. Without the parapets, the warehouse is 32 feet high.
The warehouse will include 43 loading doors on the south side of the building and a total of 150 parking spaces.
Of the 8.6 acres, 77,491 square feet, or 1.8 acres, will be open space. A 50-foot landscape buffer will be provided along Colleyville Boulevard and an 8-foot wide wall will be built to screen the loading bay dock adjacent to Colleyville Boulevard, according to city documents.
A 20-foot landscape buffer and an 8-foot masonry screening wall will also be provided adjacent to residential development on the north and west sides of the site.
According to city documents, 15-foot trees will be planted between the building and the residents to obstruct the view of the building. Landscaping along Colleyville Boulevard was proposed to obstruct the view of the facility, as well.
Zooming in
According to an email from James Yu, the senior development manager for Dallas markets at contracting firm Lovett Industrial, the building will be built with concrete tilt walls, glass accents along the offices and thin brick accents along some of the panels that are visible to Colleyville Boulevard.
“We are aware of the site being adjacent to the Monterra subdivision and have taken measures to ensure that we are providing [a] high-quality product to their neighborhood,” Yu wrote in the email to Colleyville staff. “We have reached out to the HOA to work with the neighborhood to answer any questions and address any concerns they may have.”
Yu also mentioned that they do not have a tenant but he “imagine[s] the tenant will be local or regional.”
What else?
Several residents sent emails to city staff opposing the warehouse after the city sent out public notices.
According to city documents, 17 properties sent in notes of opposition to the city. A petition was also noted in city documents where over 40 citizens signed opposing the construction of the warehouse.
If over 20% of property owners within 200 feet of the proposed development state they are against construction, then a supermajority vote will be triggered for City Council to approve.
