Executive Summary (General Business): The applicant, Benchmark PSL LLC, has submitted a Major Site Plan for Lot 2, SG 3 Commercial Shoppes at the Heart Plat. Lot 2 is a vacant outparcel within the Shoppes at the Heart commercial center. The site plan will provide a 17,300 square foot gym with associated parking and onsite and offsite improvements. The proposed development is adding a new outbound only left turn lane onto Community Boulevard at the southwest corner of the parcel. When constructed, this outbound only left turn lane will provide left turn access from the Shoppes at the Heart commercial center. Once the left turn only outbound turn lane is constructed, a future right-in/right-out separator will be added to the existing driveway. The access management plan for the Shoppes at the Heart Commercial Center is included in the submittal packet as Exhibit “A”.
