Where1540 Keller Parkway, Suite 108 (The UPS Store), Keller. The 2.18-acre Keller Crossing center on the east side of Keller Smithfield Road, about 500 feet southeast of Keller Parkway (Lot 7R1, Block A, Keller Crossing Addition), zoned Retail-PD-1382.
Comment deadlinePassed: the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing was Tue Oct 13.

What's proposed

Renew a seasonal permit for one 12 ft × 8 ft × 8 ft storage container for supplies during the store's busiest season, placed in the parking area behind the store from Nov 15 to Jan 15 each year, for three years. The previous permit (SUP-21-0040, approved 2022) allowed three months a year for three years and has expired. The applicant says the container won't be visible to shoppers at the storefronts. Applicant DJ Engles; owner Jahco Keller Crossing LLC.

Staff recommendation

Not published. The staff memo lists the Commission's options (approve, approve with conditions, table, deny) without recommending one.

Who it helps or hurts

Adjacent single-family / residential ownersNeutral

Land to the south is zoned single-family (SF-8.4). The container sits behind the store for two months a year, and the staff memo doesn't say how far it is from those lots.

Nearby commercial / land investorsNeutral

It continues a use the city already allowed from 2022.

Within about 1,000 feet

The city mailed 34 notices to owners within 300 feet on Oct 1, 2026 and posted a sign. Staff had received no letters of support or opposition.

Watch for

  • The window is shorter than last time: two months (Nov 15 to Jan 15) instead of three.
  • The exact spot is on aerial images in the applicant's packet, which isn't reproduced in the agenda text.

Next step

If the Commission makes a recommendation, the SUP goes to Keller City Council on Nov 3, 2026 for the final decision.
