Package Store SUP Development Review and Case Briefing Policy

Overview of Package Store Development Review and Consideration Process

Every request for a package store desiring to locate in the City of Colleyville must follow the steps outlined below:

1.     Submit an application for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a Package Store to the Community Development Department.  The application fee is $500.00.  Application forms are available in the Community Development Department and online at www.colleyville.com.

2.     The application is reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC), composed of representatives from all City departments.  The applicant will receive a memo from the DRC detailing any development review comments and requesting additional information if needed.

3.     Once all required information is received, the request is then scheduled for public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) and City Council.  All properties within 500 feet of the property where the proposed package store is to be located are notified of the public hearings via mail by the City and a notice is also published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

4.     In addition to the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council holds two public hearings with the vote scheduled for the final public hearing.  The City Council may attach certain development conditions to the SUP ordinance if approved.

5.      If approved, the package store is allowed to begin the next step(s) in the development process which may include platting, obtaining a building permit and certificate of occupancy.

The statement should be prepared as a narrative description of the character of the proposed development and rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant, including the use and ownership of open spaces. This is the applicant's opportunity to describe what they want to do with the property and why.  The applicant may also submit drawings, photographs, company information, etc. with the application.  At a minimum, the Statement of Planning Objectives and Business Plan shall contain the following:
