BACKGROUND
There are over 2,500 catering companies; including caters, food trucks, bakeries/cafes, bars and private chefs within a 10-mile radius of the project site. Municipal regulations require all food providers to prepare and cook food in an inspected commercial kitchen. A lack of commissary kitchens and growing demand for short-term commissary kitchen space has provided Revolving Kitchen - Dallas with an exciting expansion opportunity. There are currently two (2) similar facilities in Garland; each operating three (3) commercial kitchens. Revolving Kitchen - Dallas will offer 25 separate commissary kitchens at the site with stainless appliances and certain shared spaces, such as storage area and walk-in refrigerator/freezer space. The facility will also include ample parking, on-site Wi-Fi, 24-hour security guard and off-site cleaning/repair/maintenance crews.
CONSIDERATION
The owner has purchased a 33,600 square foot 60-year old industrial building with a current value of $673,990 and will invest over $2 million in upgrading and renovating the facility and site. In addition to the real estate investment, the project will also add $300,000 in new Business Personal Property to the City's tax roll.

The landscape plan complies with the landscaping and screening requirements in Section 4.34 in the GDC, with the exception of the landscape variance approved by Plan Commission.

Parks and Open Space consists of a variety of public parks, plazas, and natural areas for passive and active recreation, as well as informal gathering places, including development that contributes to their desirability. Parks and Open Space should be interconnected by a network of roads, sidewalks, pathways and transit to encourage residents and visitors to move about for mobility, recreational, social, and health purposes. Regional Centers include a mix of uses, include retail, services, entertainment, and employment uses, as well as a residential component and public gathering or open space. They include compact, walkable site design; landscape plantings and street furniture; along with other elements of the public realm. Regional Centers incorporate pedestrian and transit as a part of internal circulation and provides amenities for their use such as bike racks, bus shelters and benches. Additionally, the subject site falls under the I-30 Catalyst Area Plan. The land use map in that Plan identifies the site for Regional Center use as described in the Envision Garland Plan. Further the site is located within the Harbor Point Targeted Investment Area extending from the North George Bush Highway to Lake Ray Hubbard. The vision for land use in for infill with additional housing options, urban mixed-use character, shops, restaurants, and multiple plazas to encourage gathering and outdoor activities.
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES

To the north the subject property fronts Lake Ray Hubbard. To the west of the subject property, across President George Bush Turnpike, the properties are zoned for Multi-Family, Single-Family, Agricultural and Community Retail uses; these properties are developed with single-family dwellings, apartment complexes and a hotel.
