DENTON – A new 7-Eleven to be built on the south side of town next to Preston Ford of Denton is finally moving forward.
The Denton Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a conditional preliminary site plan approval at its May 27 meeting.
Victoria Ferris of KCI Technologies, Inc. presented elevation drawings and the site plan during the 7-minute meeting. The property owner, Denton RT 404 LLC based in West Palm Beach, Florida, submitted an application on April 11.
According to Donna Todd, Director of Planning & Codes for the town of Denton, the same owner had received conditional final site plan approval by the Planning Commission on June 30, 2020.
“This final site plan that included all required revisions from the conditional final site plan was approved and signed on April 26, 2021,” Todd stated in an email to the Caroline Review. However, “the property owner abandoned the first site plan on Sept. 20, 2022.” Michael Carp is the developer owner.
According to the site plan, the 7-Eleven will have entrance and exit points from the Industrial Parkway at the Deep Shore Road and State Route 404 intersection, as well as from Engerman Avenue.
About three years ago, the State Highway Administration approved curb cutouts for the Industrial Parkway access points. The property is zoned regular highway commercial (RHC).
The 7-Eleven in south Denton is not connected to the 7-Eleven located at North 6th Street.
