Proposed Final Development Plan for PD #73 - Medpace, Building 400 Outdoor Seating, Covered Walkway, and Retaining Wall

 
Project Summary and Background

In 2015, the City Planning Commission recommended approval of a change in zoning to City Council to create Planned Development #73 (PD-73, Medpace). City Council approved the zone change, Concept Plan, and Development Program Statement as Ordinance 320-2015 on October 7, 2015. An additional 3.002 acres were added to the Planned Development by way of a Major Amendment to the Concept Plan and Development Program Statement in 2017 (Ordinance 000-2017).

A Final Development Plan was filed for each portion of the approved Concept Plan that the petitioner proposed to construct. Since the establishment of the Planned Development, the City Planning Commission reviewed and approved eight Final Development Plans between May 2016 and December 2019. Since these approvals, an additional 1.859 acres of land south of Hetzel Street was added to PD-73.

On November 1, 2023, City Council approved a Major Amendment to add 1.859  acres of property to PD-73 (35.9 acres total) and to amend the Concept Plan to construct office Building 600 (70,000 square feet), rebuild a larger office Building 300 (485,000 square feet) and new plaza, approve a future 1,300 space parking garage on Lot G3, and remove fuel sales as a permitted use. Final Development Plans for Building 300 and Building 600 were also approved at that time.

Current Proposal - APPROVED

On July 16, 2025, Brandstetter Carroll, Inc. on behalf of Medpace, Inc. submitted a Final Development Plan application for outdoor dining for two restaurants in Bldg 400, an extension to the covered walkway from Bldg 300 to the East Garage, and for a retaining wall at the corner of the Summit Hotel at the Bldg 300 Plaza.
