Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0925-0419, submitted by Culinary Community Kitchen, for a change of zoning from General Retail to Planned Development - General Retail to allow all uses permitted in the General Retail District and a Mobile Food Unit Park ("MFU-Park") with modified standards, including a reduction in the 200-foot separation requirement from residential dwellings for the MFU-Park located at 4401 North Belt Line Road.
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant, Culinary Community Kitchen (CCK), is requesting approval of a Planned Development (PD) to allow a Mobile Food Unit Park (MFU-Park) at 4401 North Belt Line Road with a reduced separation with a reduced separation of approximately 100 feet from nearby residential properties. While an MFU-Park is allowed in the General Retail zoning district, it must maintain a minimum 200-foot separation from residential dwellings. A site with up to two Mobile Food Units (MFUs) serving food is permitted by right; however, three or more MFUs operating simultaneously are classified as an MFU-Park, triggering the 200-foot separation requirement.
CCK currently operates a commercial kitchen, offers cooking classes, and serves as a commissary for MFUs that prepare food for off-site sales. The proposed PD would expand these operations to allow MFUs to serve food directly on the property.
On October 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve the rezoning to Planned Development - General Retail with certain stipulations.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
