The Request is to amend Planned Development to allow the specific use
of Auto Accessories - Indoor (Use 97-973) on the property. This request
is only to allow this specific use and does not request all General Retail
uses. The business will provide indoor installation of window tint, paint
protection film (PPF), automotive audio, remote start systems, lighting
upgrades, and other vehicle accessories. All work will be performed
inside the existing building.
Compatibility with the Surrounding Area
The property is located along Main Street in an established commercial
area with retail, restaurant, office, and automotive businesses. Midas
Automotive operates within the same building, a car wash is located
directly behind the property, and several other automotive businesses
are located along Main Street. The proposed Auto Accessories - Indoor
use is compatible with these surrounding businesses because all work is
performed indoors, with no outdoor storage, body work, painting, or
mechanical repair.
The Colony Audio & Tint is a professional automotive accessory
sales and installation business specializing in enhancing the
appearance, comfort, convenience, and security of passenger
vehicles. The business will operate as the third location under the
ownership of Empire Sound & Security, an established North Texas
company that has been serving customers since 2008.
Empire Sound & Security opened its first location in Dallas in 2008
and later expanded to a second location in McKinney. Due to
continued growth and customer demand, the company is now
expanding into The Colony under the new business name The
Colony Audio & Tint to better serve residents of The Colony and
the surrounding communities.
The business will offer the sale and professional installation of a
wide variety of automotive accessories, including:
• Automotive window tint
• Paint Protection Film (PPF)
• Car audio systems
• Speakers and subwoofers
• Amplifiers
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
• Backup cameras
• Dash cameras
• Remote start systems
• Vehicle security and alarm systems
• GPS navigation systems
• LED lighting upgrades
• Other automotive electronics and accessories
The business is an authorized dealer and installer for many of the
industry's leading manufacturers, including JL Audio, Garmin,
Kicker, Focal, Sony, JVC, Kenwood, and other nationally
recognized brands.
All installation work will be performed entirely inside the building.
No heavy automotive repair, engine repair, body work, or
automotive painting will be conducted at this location.
Hours of Operation
Monday - Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Sunday: Closed
The business is expected to employ approximately 3 to 5 employees
initially, with additional hiring as the business continues to grow.
Property Improvements
The proposed project involves only minor modifications to the
existing commercial building.
The only exterior building modification will be the installation of
one overhead roll -up garage door to provide safe indoor access for
customer vehicles during installation services.
Interior improvements include remodeling the existing floor plan
to create a functional showroom and installation area. No
expansion of the building footprint is proposed.
Outdoor Storage
No vehicles, equipment, inventory, or materials will be stored
outside the building.
• Customer vehicles will only be parked in designated parking spaces
while waiting for scheduled service or customer pickup. There will
be no long-term outdoor vehicle storage.
Lighting and Signage
The property already has existing exterior lighting, and no
additional site lighting is proposed.
The applicant proposes installing LED illuminated channel letter
signs on the front and rear elevations of the building. If permitted
by the City, one monument or pylon sign facing the street may also
be installed in accordance with all applicable City sign regulations.
Compatibility with Surrounding Businesses
The applicant has personally met with the neighboring businesses
to discuss the proposed use. The response was overwhelmingly
positive, and neighboring business owners expressed enthusiasm
about having a professional automotive audio and window tint
business locate next to their businesses.
The surrounding area already contains a variety of automotive and
commercial uses, making the proposed business a compatible
addition to the existing commercial corridor.
Because all installation work is performed indoors, the business is
expected to have minimal impacts on surrounding properties with
respect to noise, traffic, lighting, and overall appearance.
Parking and Traffic
The business primarily operates by appointment, allowing
customer visits to be scheduled throughout the day and minimizing
traffic congestion.
The existing parking on-site is adequate to accommodate
employees, customers, and vehicles being serviced. The proposed
use is not expected to generate traffic beyond what is typical for
commercial businesses located along Main Street.
Community Benefit
The Colony Audio & Tint represents the expansion of an
established North Texas business with nearly two decades of
experience serving the community. The project will bring
additional investment to an existing commercial property while
creating new employment opportunities and providing residents
with convenient access to high-quality automotive accessory sales
and installation services.
The proposed use will enhance the commercial corridor, generate
additional sales tax revenue for the City, and provide a valuable
service without creating adverse impacts on neighboring
properties.
Noise Control and Operational Practices
The Colony Audio & Tint recognizes the importance of operating in a
manner that is respectful of neighboring businesses and nearby residential
properties. The business is committed to maintaining a professional
environment and complying with all applicable City of The Colony noise and
nuisance ordinances.
Although the business sells and installs automotive audio systems, remote
start systems, security systems, and related electronics, demonstrations of
these products will be conducted responsibly and only when necessary to
verify proper installation or to allow customers to evaluate equipment prior to
delivery.
Whenever practical, audio demonstrations and system testing will be
performed inside the building with the overhead garage door closed. To
further minimize sound transmission, the new overhead garage door will be
equipped with sound -insulating material designed to reduce noise escaping
the building during testing and demonstrations.
Any demonstrations conducted outside the building will be limited to brief
operational verification only, will occur during normal business hours, and
will be maintained at reasonable volume levels. Excessive volume, prolonged
demonstrations, or unnecessary operation of vehicle audio systems will not
be permitted.
The business will not conduct outdoor advertising events, promotional
demonstrations, competitions, or amplified audio displays intended to attract
customers. Employees will be trained to ensure all demonstrations are
performed professionally and with consideration for neighboring businesses
and nearby residences.
The Colony Audio & Tint is committed to being a responsible member of the
community and maintaining a positive relationship with neighboring property
owners through proactive operational practices and responsible business
operations.
