PROJECT:Zoning Change and Site Plan for the Westin Hotel
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
Seneca Rochester Harrell Southlake JV is requesting approval of a Zoning
Change and Site Plan for the Westin Hotel from “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan
District to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “HC” Hotel District Uses and
other related uses as depicted in the applicant’s narrative for the development
of a full-service hotel, conference center and parking garage on approximately
SPIN Neighborhood # 4
6.83 acres located at 1200 E. State Hwy 114.
DETAILS:
Seneca Rochester Harrell Southlake JV is requesting approval of a Zoning
Change and Site Plan for the Westin Hotel from “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan
District to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “HC” Hotel District Uses and
other related uses as described in the applicant’s narrative under Attachment C
of this staff report. The current zoning was approved by City Council in April
2014 as ZA14-006, and included the development of a 7 story Westin hotel with
276 rooms and a 3 level parking garage. Prior to that approval, Council
approved a zoning change in 2007 to “NR-PUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit
Development District for the development of the Gateway Church campus.
The project currently proposed is a revision of the 2014 Westin plan, consisting
of a 6 story hotel with 253 rooms. The proposed hotel is full-service,
incorporating guest rooms with in-room service, a restaurant/lounge,
conference/meeting spaces, a pool, boutique retail space and other hotel
related support services (back of house services). The proposal also includes a
2 level parking deck with 242 parking spaces, in addition to the 201 surface
parking spaces located primarily around the perimeter of the site.
The materials used on the hotel are a mixture of stucco, stone and glass curtain
wall with aluminum and metal accent features throughout. Changes to the
exterior elevations from the 2014 plan can be seen in attachment C. The overall
height of the hotel has been lessened from 107 feet to 76 feet due to the
th
removal of the 7 floor event space and lounge found in the 2014 plan, and a
14 foot reduction in the height of the first floor/lobby area.
The landscaping plan has also been revised in response to the reduction in
building footprint and increase in surface parking. Although 5’ Type A
bufferyards are specified in the approved S-P-1 regulations, the 30’ bufferyard
which was previously shown on the south end of the property has been reduced
on the proposed plan to 10’.

The underlying zoning for the proposed ‘S-P-1’ Site Plan is ‘HC’ Hotel district.
The proposal complies with the HC district with regard to the number of stories,
the actual proposed height of 76 feet (although the S-P-1 regulations for the site
allow up to 115 feet), front, side, and rear building setbacks, and maximum site
coverage.
Areas in which the site does not meet HC regulations include impervious cover
and required buffer width and hedge plantings along the south/114 side of the
property (the S-P-1 regulations allow for 5’ type ‘A’ bufferyards on all sides of
the property).

CITIZEN INPUT:
Though a SPIN meeting was held on January 6, 2014 for the original
Westin development, no SPIN meeting was held for this amended plan.
SOUTHLAKE 2030:Future Land Use Plan
The Southlake 2030 Future
Land Use Plan designates this
property as Mixed Use. The
Mixed Use land use
designation is defined within
Southlake 2030 as follows:
Case No. Attachment A
ZA16-022 Page 1
“The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the
varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category
necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development.
New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing
development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design
and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use
designation is intended for medium- to higher-intensity office buildings,
hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses.
Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses
that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible
with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial
categories previously discussed.”
Hotels within the Mixed Use land use designation are described as
follows:
Hotel uses should be full-service hotels at market-driven locations,
o
primarily in the S.H. 114 Corridor. Full-service, for the purposes of
this plan, shall be hotels that include a table-service restaurant
within or directly attached to the hotel. Other services or amenities
typically included would be bell service and room service, as well as
available meeting space.
The desire is to approve hotels adequate to support market-driven
o
commerce in the City, paying attention to the product mix such that
the hospitality services in the area are complementary to one
another.
According to both these descriptions, the proposed hotel development is
consistent with the intent of the land use description and hotel
description.
Urban Design Plan
The Urban Design Plan also includes recommendations pertaining to
the State Highway 114 corridor where this site is proposed to be
located. These recommendations are as follows:
Establish appropriate scale and bulk standards for buildings along
o
the highway, specifically at mid-block locations. Buildings should be
4 – 6 stories tall and step down as they move away from the
highway corridor. Buildings over three stories should be articulated
along the first three floors. Materials on the lower floors should be
brick, stone or other approved masonry. Low-profile, single story pad
buildings that tend to blend into the background and have limited
visibility from the highway are discouraged
The view of surface parking from the highway should be limited.
o
Surface parking lots should be designed to be in smaller pods (no
more than 200 parking spaces) with increased landscaping and
pedestrian accessways.
Structured parking is encouraged over surface parking. Specifically,
o
shared parking is also encouraged between adjoining
Case No. Attachment A
ZA16-022 Page 2
complementary land uses. Special attention should be given to the
design of parking garages to avoid plain facades with views of
parked cars from adjoining properties and rights-of-ways. Façade
details, vertical and horizontal courses such as cornices, lintels, sills,
and water courses should be used to add interest along facades. To
the extent possible, parking garages should be located behind
principal structures to limit views from the highway.
This proposed development has a parking garage located towards the
rear of the site screened from the highway by the hotel. A shared
parking agreement to utilize the western Gateway Church parking lot is
under discussion between the hotel and Gateway Church.
Mobility Master Plan
On the City’s Thoroughfare Plan within the Mobility Master Plan Grace
Lane is shown to be a 100-foot, 4-lane divided arterial (A4D). During the
development of the Gateway Church campus, a variance was granted
for Grace Lane to be reduced to an 80-foot divided arterial.
The Active Transportation section of the City’s Mobility Master Plan
recommends an 8-foot or greater multi-use trail along the frontage road
of State Highway 114. The applicant is proposing a 10-foot sidewalk
along the frontage road (where it will connect existing segments at
Gateway Church and the neighboring Bowen Building) and a 6-foot
sidewalk along Grace Lane.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed development will have access onto Grace Lane via two
driveways. Grace Lane is currently built with 100 foot right of way and
median for 483 feet north of the State Highway 114 frontage road;
beyond this point, the facility narrows to an 80-foot undivided roadway.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA16-022 Page 3
Since development on this property is contingent upon two points of
access being provided, Grace Lane must be completed to at least the
northern limit of the property prior to release of occupancy.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was previously provided by the applicant
for the original Westin Hotel development.

The original 2014 Westin plan included a parking study in support of
parking provided below City minimum requirements. This study was
updated to reflect changes in the parking counts and is included in
Attachment C.
TREE PRESERVATION:
There is approximately 65% tree coverage on this site. The applicant
has indicated to staff that only 40% of these trees are considered
healthy. The “S-P-1” zoning district does not require the applicant to
preserve any minimum amount of trees but rather makes their tree
preservation plan subject to City Council’s approval. Due to the amount
of grading this development will require, no trees will be preserved and
therefore the applicant did not develop a tree conservation plan.
UTILITIES:
Water
The site has access to an existing 20-inch water line along the State
Highway 114 frontage road and an 8-inch water line along Grace Lane.
Sewer
The site will have access to an 8-inch sewer line that was installed
during the development of the Gateway Church campus.

Keith Martin
Landscape Administrator
Phone: (817) 748-8229
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* The proposed tree conservation is consistent with the previously approved Tree Conservation
Plan. No existing trees are proposed to be preserved.
LANDSCAPE AND BUFFERYARDS COMMENTS:
1. There is a note in the Building Area Table on the Site Plan that says “All square footages
above are approximate and will be finalized during design phase.” The building square footage
cannot be approximate because the interior landscape requirements are based on 50% of the
area footprint of the main building and 5% of the area footprint of the parking garage. If these
areas change the required interior landscape calculations will change, as well as the proposed
Landscape Plan.
2. The calculations in the Interior Landscape Charts on the Site Plan and Landscape Plan do not
match. Ensure that both Interior Landscape Charts match.
3. Provide the Bufferyards Summary Chart on the Landscape Plan.
4. Plant material must be provided for the required bufferyards. Required interior landscape plant
material cannot be counted as bufferyard plant material.
5. Within Exhibit ‘B’, the proposed bufferyards surrounding the property are proposed to be 5’ – A
type bufferyards. This is not consistent with the regulations of the Bufferyards and Corridor
(5’ A-type bufferyards are proposed in the S-P-1
Overlay sections of the Zoning Ordinance.
regulatory document.)
6. Parking lot islands shall have a minimum width of 12’ back-to-back if curbed or 13’ edge-to-
edge if no curb is intended, and shall be equal to the length of the parking stall. Parking lot
islands must also contain shrubs, ground cover, ornamental grasses, seasonal color, or a
combination of these plant materials along the required canopy tree.
Case No. Attachment D
ZA16-022 Page 2
7. When parking is provided between the right-of-way and the building set back line, a solid
evergreen hedgerow of plants obtaining a mature height greater than three feet (3’) shall be
planted for the entire length of the parking. When planted, this hedge shall be a minimum of
two feet (2’) in height and planted no further than thirty inches (30”) on center.
