A Costco wholesale store could be coming to Flower Mound, with the retailer taking its first public step in the town’s development process. Costco has submitted a parking study for a proposed store within Cottonwood, an 86-acre mixed-use development stretching from Dixon Road to FM 407, just east of FM 2499. According to town documents, the popular grocer is requesting approval for 898 parking spaces, exceeding the maximum allowed under Flower Mound’s zoning ordinance. The Cottonwood development land is currently zoned Agriculture, so it will have to go through P&Z and Town Council before anything is approved to be developed. Town documents indicate the proposed site will feature three detention ponds, 24 total buildings with industrial, retail and restaurant uses, as well as infrastructure improvements.
