New Office Building Planned for Village on the Parkway

At its March 10 meeting, Council amended the Planned Development Ordinance for Village on the Parkway that allows for a two-story office building to be built at the former TGI Friday's location. Approximately half of the 31,000 square foot office building will be ground-floor retail/restaurant and the second floor will offer office space. The plan also includes an additional 1,825 square feet of potential outdoor patio area. As part of office building development, the property owner has agreed to provide an enhanced bus stop with a shelter and space for public art on Montfort Drive.

In addition to allowing for the new office building, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adding an enhanced valet parking plan to the Planned Development Ordinance. The revised valet parking plan increases the number of stands from five to seven and requires a “Park and Stroll” feature that would allow guests to drop off their car at one location and pick it up at another. It also requires the valet provider to use technology that permits guests to request their car before arriving at the valet stand. This technology is currently in use in other areas of North Texas. Visitors can expect to see enhanced signage promoting the changes in the coming weeks.
