STAFF REPORT
December 23, 2015
CASE NO: ZA15-104
PROJECT: Site Plan for Lowe's
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of Lowe's Companies, Adams Engineering and Development
Consultants is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Lowe's Southlake on property
described as Lot 5, Block 1, Kimball/1709 Addition, an addition to the City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and being located at 201 N. Kimball Avenue,
Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. SPIN
Neighborhood # 8. Previously listed and notified as Ordinance No. 480-705. The
zoning change component has been withdrawn by the applicant.
REQUEST
DETAILS: The applicant previously requested approval of a zoning change and site plan for
the existing Lowe's Home Improvement Center in Southlake primarily to allow a
reduction in required parking spaces along the south portion of the lot and to use
this area for outside seasonal storage of merchandise generally between the
months of February through October. In addition, the applicant was seeking
approval to add five (5) screening walls along the front of the store to allow for
outside storage.
On October 22, 2015, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval
(4-1 Forman) subject to the staff report and site plan review summary; noting that
the seasonal display in the south parking lot be limited to February through
October; that a definition of storage items will be provided to City Council; that the
approval be limited to a home improvement retailer on this site; that the applicant
will provide a storefront rendering; and, that the items stored in the south parking
lot be limited to landscape items such as mulch, compost, etc. and no swing sets.
The applicant submitted the requested storefront renderings and defined the items
intended for storage for City Council 1s' reading consideration. On November 3,
2015 after discussing the proposed zoning change and site plan with City Council,
the applicant requested to table the 1s' reading until December 1, 2015.
On November 25, 2015, the applicant requested to table to the January 5, 2016
meeting as they decided to drop the zoning change component of their request
and move forward with a site plan request only. The zoning component was
previously required due to the proposed site plan reduction in parking spaces with
the use of the south parking lot for seasonal storage.
The current site plan proposed includes four (4) screen walls along the front of the
store to allow for additional outside display of merchandise. No other changes are
Case No.

proposed.
VARIANCE: For all development requiring a City Council approved site plan, sidewalk
construction is required. The Pathways Plan calls for an 8' multi-use trail along
State Highway 114. The applicant has requested relief from this requirement.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct public hearing
2. Consider approval of proposed site plan

SOUTHLAKE 2030: Consolidated Future Land Use
The Southlake 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates this property as
Regional Retail. Regional Retail as defined within Southlake 2030:
The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium-intensity
commercial category providing for neighborhood-type retail shopping
facilities and general commercial support activities. It is intended to provide
limited local retail and/or office uses which serve neighborhoods in close
proximity. It is intended that all uses in this category will be compatible with
adjacent single family uses, thereby maintaining the character and integrity
of existing neighborhoods. This category is intended to encourage
comprehensively planned developments. In areas where the Retail
Commercial designation is adjacent to residentially zoned properties or
areas with a residential designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity
activities such as office or office-related uses should be planned adjacent
to the residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial
categories previously discussed.
Master Thoroughfare Plan
The property is situated in between State Highway 114 eastbound frontage
road and Southlake Boulevard. State Highway 114 is designated as a
Freeway with variable right of way widths from 300' to 500'. Southlake
Boulevard is designated as a 6-lane divided Arterial roadway with variable
right of way widths from 130' to 140'.

The City's Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 33.19 requires

Highway 114 eastbound frontage road.
TRANSPORTATION

Zoning Regulations presented to P&Z October 22, 2015
Lowes Southlake
Proposed Permitted Uses and Development Regulations for "SP-1" Zoning
ZA15-104
Permitted Uses:
This property is an existing home improvement store that was approved in 1999. It is one lot
consisting of 14.7 acres and is currently zoned C-3. There is no proposal to change the C-3 use
rather a request to zone the property SP-1 to allow for variances from the C-3 Zoning.
Development Regulations:
This property shall be subject to the development regulations for the "C-3" General Commercial
District, and all other applicable regulations with the following exceptions:
• Allow for a reduction in the parking requirements more fitted to home improvements centers.
Attached Parking Study supports the request for lesser parking needs. Proposed parking
requirement is 564 spaces. Lowe's corporate standard is 400 spaces.
• Allow for additional outside sales of various products beyond lawn care items along the store
frontage through the use of screen walls.
• Allow for seasonal outside sales and storage in the 78 spaces in the south parking lot.
Seasonal sales times are generally February through the end of October.
• Allow for impervious coverage and open space as shown on site plan and as previously
approved.
Use and Operation:
Lowes relies heavily on the sale of merchandise that is visible upon entry to the store. At the contractor
entrance screen walls will allow for the visibility to commonly used materials that contractors purchase
daily. Along other areas in front of the store screen walls will allow for the display of seasonal specialty
items that are either top sellers or close-out items.
Most importantly is the visibility and ease of access to seasonal items such as mulch and compost that
can be stored, sold and loaded in the south parking area. Additional plantings along Southlake
Boulevard are proposed to screen the storage and sales in the south parking lot and are shown on the
submitted landscape plan.
Security for outside storage has not historically been a problem or concern for Lowes at this as well as
their other locations. As an existing measure that area currently does have security camera.

FORUM SUMMARY:
Property Situation: 201 N. Kimball Avenue
Development Details:
• Lowes Southlake is requesting to add some screening walls in front of the store andreduce the
paring requirements so that outside storage and sales can occur seasonally in the south parking
area.
• Currently zoned "C-3" General Commercial District to S-P-! Detailed Site Plan to allow outdoor
storage and screening walls.
• The south parking lot has 77 parking spaces currently.
• Off-loading of seasonal products currently occurs in the rear east side of the building with limited
storage space and conflicts with cars coming from Costco to the east via the cross access
easement. Directly unloading at the south parking lot will reduce the conflict.
• 5-foot tall by 15-foot wide screening walls in front of the store will allow seasonal products such
as grills to be located outside and in front of the store.
• A local parking study and a comparison parking demand study were conducted and shown on
the slides.
• Additional landscape screening is proposed at the south parking lot along the entrance at FM
1709 to screen the outside storage.
Case No. Attachment D
ZA15-104 Page 1
• Additional landscaping is proposed along the north property line and parking lot to fill in some
gaps in the landscaping.

QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
• Will there still be traffic conflicts with the traffic from Costco along the south parking lot
driveway?
o The existing speed bumps and seasonal products in the parking lot will be traffic
calming. There is a need to keep the products out of the fire lane.

Tree Conservation/Landscape Review

Landscape Administrator
Phone: (817) 748-8229
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
No existing trees are proposed to be altered.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. Please avoid placing the proposed canopy trees and accent trees directly over and under the
existing utility lines along Hwy. 114. There is a 12" water line and overhead electrical lines.
No additional square footage is proposed to be added to the existing building footprint so no
additional interior or bufferyards landscaping is required to be provided. The proposed
landscaping is to provide additional screening for the proposed outside sales areas and to fill in
gaps in the existing landscape.
