Esencia Retail, LLC requests approval of a Site Development Permit to allow for the construction of the third and final phase of the Esencia Mixed-Use Center and a Project Specific Alternative Site Development Standard. The final phase will comprise 14 buildings including 174,800 square feet of retail, restaurant, medical office, health/fitness uses and a gas station. The project will also include an additional 7,200 square feet of designated outdoor eating areas associated with restaurant uses.
