A developer building a storage center at Red Run Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road is now also seeking permission to build a CVS pharmacy on the same corner as a planned unit development.
Planned unit developments, which must be approved by the County Council and the Planning Board, are allowed to override the existing zoning on a property but must offer a community benefit.
Hill Management, the Timonium-based developer of the proposed CVS, is offering $5,000 toward a stadium project at Owings Mills High School as the community benefit piece of the proposal.
The northeast corner of Red Run and Pleasant Hill is zoned for light manufacturing and industrial uses and would only allow a small pharmacy to be built, said Francis X. Borgerding, attorney for Hill Management.
The company, which owns a 1.2-acre, three-pad site on the corner, is proposing an 11,945-square-foot CVS with 60 parking spaces and three signs, one more than is normally allowed by zoning regulations.
According to the plans currently at the county council, the CVS would be directly on the corner, surrounded by parking, and the storage facility would be next to it on Pleasant Hill Road.
In addition to the PUD, Hill Management is moving ahead with a four-story, 112,662-square-foot storage facility, called Your Space, and hopes to use the third pad site for an office building, identified on the current plans as being 6,400 square feet.
David Green, the county’s community planner for the area, said the office building was added after Hill Management was advised that the Red Run corridor is intended to have a corporate focus.
No construction plans have been made for the office building, Borgerding said.
The resolution being considered by the County Council says the PUD would be a “high-quality mixed-use development.”
Green said the developer would have to show “a super-duper design that it is not going to be a run-of-the-mill CVS.”
The County Council will discuss the proposal at its Feb. 24 work session and will vote on it March 2.
