Former Fujitsu campus on Telecom Parkway would become two lots under a replat before planners Thursday

The City Plan Commission takes up a split of the 66.56-acre industrial site Thursday. A Methodist Richardson Medical Center rezoning on the same agenda moves to Oct. 20 after a notice error.

Richardson's City Plan Commission is set Thursday to consider dividing the 66.56-acre former Fujitsu campus at Telecom Parkway and Breckinridge Boulevard into two lots, according to the agenda posted Oct. 2.

The commission meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, in the Multipurpose Room (CH 157) at City Hall, 2360 Campbell Creek Blvd.

The replat

The owner, HIG/DSP Richardson Owner LLC, has asked to replat what is now Lot 1B of the Fujitsu Campus Addition as the DSP Richardson Innovation Campus Addition, Lots 1 and 2. The property covers 2791, 2801 and 2821 Telecom Parkway, at the southwest corner of the intersection.

The staff report says the replat would remove a 40-foot building setback line along the surrounding roads and add and give up several easements to serve an industrial development. With that platted setback gone, the planned development zoning that governs the site (Ordinance 4553) would still set building setbacks. New 15-foot water and sanitary sewer easements and a private electrical easement would be dedicated.

Staff said the plat meets city and state requirements, and it sits on the consent agenda as a final decision for the commission.

The staff report does not name a tenant. The city said earlier this year that Celestica, which makes data center infrastructure, is expanding at 2801 Telecom Parkway by renewing leases on two buildings and leasing a 343,000-square-foot building under construction, for about 1 million square feet through 2036.

The city described that deal as a redevelopment milestone for the former Fujitsu campus and said it is expected to keep nearly 400 jobs and add almost 2,300.

Hospital rezoning pushed back

A request from Methodist Health System to expand the planned development district at Methodist Richardson Medical Center will not be heard Thursday. A staff memo says the public hearing moves to Tuesday, Oct. 20, because of an error in the mailed notice, and corrected notices will go out first.

The request would rezone 8.95 acres from industrial zoning into the hospital's planned development district, bringing it to about 20.45 acres bounded by Renner Road, Shiloh Road and the President George Bush Turnpike, at 3001 E. President George Bush Highway. The agenda does not describe what Methodist plans to build.

The commission will also open and continue indefinitely a hearing on a special permit for outdoor patio smoking at a restaurant at 1600 E. Belt Line Road. Staff said the applicant wants time to change the request, and new notices will be mailed when it returns.
