CASE NO: ZA17-029
PROJECT: Site Plan for Bob Jones Nature Center
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: The City of Southlake is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Bob Jones
Nature Center on property being described as Tracts 3, 4, 5 & 5A, R.D. Price
Survey, Abstract No. 1003A and Tracts 1 & 2, M. Mahaffey Survey, Abstract
No. 916A, City of Southlake, Denton County, Texas; and Tract 5A, R.D. Price
Survey, Abstract No. 1207, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. The
property is located at 355 E. Bob Jones Road, Southlake, Texas. Current
Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. SPIN #1.
DETAILS: Bob Jones Nature Center (BJNC) is generally located on the northeast
boundary of Bob Jones Park, off of Tucker Drive. The purpose of this item is to
gain site plan approval for the construction of a 1,500 square foot shade
pavilion with stone columns and a standing seam metal roof. The proposed
structure will replace an existing tent in the same location and provide a
permanent covered space for outdoor education, family event rentals, and a
respite after a long hike on the nature trails. No other changes to the site are
proposed.
A site plan approval by City Council following a recommendation from the
Planning & Zoning Commission is needed because the non-residential use is
within 400 feet of residential properties resulting in the application of Residential
Adjacency Overlay Standards.
VARIANCE
REQUEST: Per Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 43.13.a(2) — Roof Design
Standards: Standing seam metal roofs shall be constructed of a factory-treated,
non-metallic, matte finish.
The applicant is requesting to use a metallic "Galvalume" color standing seam
metal roof to match the roof material used for the main BJNC building. This roof
material was approved by City Council in 2006 with a variance request
associated with a Revised Site Plan application for Bob Jones Park (ZA06-163).
Although the roof initially has reflective metallic properties, it soon weathers to a
non-reflective gray color.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
2) Consider Approval of a Site Plan

Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, as appropriate, shall take into consideration
the following factors:
1. Safety of the motoring public and of pedestrians using the facility and the area immediately
surrounding the site.
2. Safety from fire hazards, and measures of fire control.
3. Protection of adjacent property from flood or water damage.
4. The impact of noise, glare from vehicular or stationary lights, or any other applicable
performance standards on adjacent properties, as determined by any reports or studies which
may be reasonably required to determine compliance with these applicable performance
standards. (As amended by Ordinance No. 480-KK.)
5. Location, lighting and type of signs; relation of signs to traffic control and the adverse effect on
adjacent properties.
6. Street size and adequacy of pavement width for traffic reasonably expected to be generated
by the proposed use around the site and in the immediate neighborhood.
7. Adequacy of parking, as determined by requirements of this ordinance for off-street parking

43.9 DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
b. Variances - At the time of review of any required Concept Plan or Site Plan, the City Council may
grant variances to the development regulations set forth in this Section and to Section 35.6, "Number
of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required." A parking space variance can only be at the request of the
Owner/Applicant and cannot be required by the City Council as a part of their approval of any Concept
Plan, Site Plan, Developer's Agreement or by any other means. The City Council shall be limited to
granting a variance to no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the required number of off-street parking
spaces. (As amended by Ordinance No. 480-000)
1. To receive a variance, the applicant must demonstrate one of the following:
a. A variance will reduce the impact of the project on surrounding residential properties;
or
b. Compliance with this ordinance would impair the architectural design or creativity of the
project; or
c. A variance is necessary to assure compatibility with surrounding developed properties;
or
d. The proposed construction is an addition to an existing project that does not meet the
requirements of this ordinance.
2. The City Council may grant a variance by an affirmative vote of a majority of the City Council
members present and voting on the matter. In order to grant a variance, the City Council must
determine that a literal enforcement of the regulations will create an unnecessary hardship or a
practical difficulty for the applicant; that the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or
practical difficulty is unique to the affected property and is not self imposed; that the variance
will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted development of
adjacent properties; and that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and
purpose of this ordinance.
2. If a variance application is denied by the City Council, no other variance of like kind relating to
the same project or proposed project shall be considered or acted upon by the City Council for
a period of six (6) months subsequent to the denial.
