PROJECT: Zoning Change and Concept Plan for 800 E. Bob Jones Rd.
EXECUTIVE
nd
SUMMARY:
Terry and Amy Watts are requesting 2 reading approval of a Zoning Change and
Concept Plan for 800 E. Bob Jones Rd. on property described as Tracts 10 and 16, H.
O. Throop Survey, Abstract No. 1237A, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and
located at 800 and 790 E. Bob Jones Rd. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District.
Proposed Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #1.
REQUEST
nd
DETAILS:
The applicant is requesting 2 reading approval of a Zoning Change and Concept Plan
from "AG" Agricultural District to "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District to construct
a new home on approximately 1.67 acres.
Staff research of the Walnut Grove drive does not indicate that the road has been
dedicated and accepted by the City of Southlake. At this time, the City staff is
classifying Walnut Grove as a private drive. Driveway Ordinance No 634, as amended,
Section 5.1 requires a minimum centerline spacing between driveways on a local
street to be twenty (20) feet and the existing driveway on the subject property meets
the minimum centerline spacing distance from the Walnut Grove private drive.
If Walnut Grove was classified as a public street, the existing driveway would not meet
the minimum distance to an intersection, which is thirty (30) feet measured from the
centerline of the driveway to the intersecting right of way line, but since Walnut Grove
is not classified as a public street, no variance to the Driveway Ordinance is required.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
nd
Consider 2 reading approval of a Zoning Change and Concept Plan

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER/
APPLICANT:
Terry and Amy Watts
PROPERTY LOCATION:
790 and 800 E. Bob Jones Rd.
PROPERTY
DESCRIPTION:
Tract 3A1K, F. Throop Survey, Abstract No. 1511
LAND USE CATEGORY:
Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING:
“AG” Agricultural District
PROPOSED ZONING:
“SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
HISTORY:
- The propertywas annexed into the City in 1988 and given the “AG”
Agricultural District zoning designation.
- There is no history of the year that the existing home on the property was
constructed.
SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLAN:
Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The site is designated “Low Density Residential”, which specifies single
family detached dwellings at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per
acre. The proposed Zoning Change and Concept Plan is consistent with this
designation.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows E. Bob Jones Rd. to be a
local street. Adequate right of way exists for the street.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Pathways Master Plan and Sidewalk Plan shows no proposed or existing
trail or sidewalk adjacent to the property. The property is exempt from sidewalk
requirements since it is being platted as a single lot of record and it meets the
requirements for exemption.
WATER & SEWER:
The property is served by an existing 8” water line to the west. City sewer is not
available in the area, so the site will be served by an on-site sewage facility
(septic system).
TREE PRESERVATION:
One existing 10” oak is proposed to be removed and a 22” oak and a 12” cedar
are shown as marginal. The proposed tree conservation complies with the
required tree canopy preservation requirement that 60% of the existing canopy
be preserved based on the existing 20% - 40% of tree canopy on the property.
