This application amends Planned Development District 372 to facilitate the adaptive reuse of an existing ±50,500 square foot vacant building into an H-E-B Central Market grocery store.

• Sustainability: Requires a minimum of 10,000 square feet of photovoltaic cells for solar energy production.
• Streetscape Improvements: Mandates specific sidewalk widths (12 feet on McKinney and Lemmon East, 10 feet on Lemmon) and pedestrian-scale lighting.
• Use Restrictions: Removes several incompatible uses from the district, including auto service centers, car washes, electrical substations, radio towers, and concrete batching plants.
• Traffic Mitigation: The building official is prohibited from issuing a certificate of occupancy for the large format retail use until a developer agreement or contract for a traffic signal at Lemmon Avenue East and Oak Grove Avenue is executed.
