Keller City Council granted a request from Kroger<\/a> to table a specific use permit approval at the Oct. 6 meeting<\/a> for a planned Kroger Marketplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gist<\/p>\n

Sarah Hensley, Keller’s director of development services, said the grocery chain altered plans for the fuel center kiosk, increasing the size previously proposed.<\/p>\n

The plan is for a 99,992-square-foot grocery store with fuel pumps, a pharmacy with a drive-through, outdoor display and seasonal sales. The development is on a 17.58-acre tract of land, according to city documents.<\/p>\n

The specific use permit, or SUP, is required to allow three uses for the site: a grocery store, a fuel station and a pharmacy drive\u2011through, according to city documents. <\/p>\n

Going forward<\/p>\n

The SUP request will have to navigate back through the Keller Planning and Zoning Commission. Council voted to table the public hearing for the proposal until the Dec. 1 meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Planning and zoning will meet<\/a> Nov. 10. During that meeting, Hensley said the commission will review the SUP, the revised site plan and the alcohol sales variance due to the proximity to Keller High School property.<\/p>\n

According to city documents, there would be four points of vehicular access, including two full\u2011access driveways along Rufe Snow Drive and two full\u2011access points along North Town Center Lane.<\/p>\n

The background<\/p>\n

The current Kroger location at 976 Keller Parkway would close if the plan is approved. John Votava, director of corporate affairs at Kroger, said it would be cheaper to build a new store than to renovate the current property, according to previous reporting. <\/p>\n

Kroger had plans approved for the same location in 2016, but the project did not move forward, according to the city staff presentation at the Sept. 8 meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The previous development plan was for a 123,590-square-foot grocery store, but all previous approvals have expired, according to city documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keller City Council granted a request from Kroger to table a specific use permit approval at the Oct.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,59684,14256,49732,20102,157404,79145,157403,157402],"class_list":["post-460207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-john-votava","tag-keller-city-council","tag-keller-high-school","tag-kroger-marketplace","tag-n-town-center-lane","tag-rufe-snow-drive","tag-sarah-hensley","tag-specific-use-permit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
