Flower Mound could very quickly go from having no H-E-B grocery stores to having two, according to town documents.
A major commercial development in Flower Mound is currently courting H-E-B, which would put the popular grocer along FM 2499, south of the QuikTrip on Waketon Road and east of Rippy Road.
Plans for the development, dubbed Flower Mound Center, will be presented to Flower Mound’s Planning and Zoning Commission during a work session Monday.
Town documents indicate H-E-B submitted a parking study to the town ahead of the work session, which will likely lead to a requested exemption from the town for more parking than is allowed by town standards.
“The land use category int he Town of Flower Mound parking ordinance that most matches the proposed grocery site the retail land use,” said Codie Freeman, a planner with the town. “However, due to its size and popularity, the proposed grocery site is anticipate to draw from a larger area and induce a much higher parking demand than the minimum parking requirement.”
According to the applicant’s engineering firm, the site plan request 733 parking spaces for the proposed 110,000-square-foot H-E-B, or 1 space per 150 square feet.
That would be 164% of the town’s minimum parking requirement and exceed the town’s maximum allowable parking by 205 spaces.
It is also expected to have an in-store barbecue restaurant, bakery, pharmacy and a curbside pickup station.
According to Flower Mound Director of Economic Development Ray Watson, H-E-B was invited to participate in the work session alongside the Regency Centers team, which is in charge of developing the space.
The firm also submitted photos of nearby store parking lots during different peak and non-peak shopping times to support the need for the excess parking.
The land currently is planned to have low-density residential, retail and office use. However, the developer is requesting an amendment to the town’s master plan to rezone the land for a planned development with retail uses and certain modifications and waivers to the town’s code of ordinances.
If things go right for the town, Flower Mound will have an H-E-B on its east side along FM 2499 and another on its west side in Furst Ranch.
Costco Wholesale seems pretty set on opening a new warehouse in Flower Mound, as well. If approved by the town, it will be built in the Cottonwood development – about a mile north of the proposed H-E-B location.
It will also request an increase in allowed parking, soon after Flower Mound approved an ordinance to reduce excess parking spaces and over-built lots around town.
H-E-B is booming in Denton County. The popular grocer chain was close to opening a store in Argyle, but chose Denton instead for a location with a fuel station and car wash.
The grocer is also opening a new location near downtown Denton.
