S‐P‐1 Zoning
Highland Corner
6.068 Acres
PURPOSE
Located on North Kimball Avenue north of Southlake Glen Drive and south of East Highland Street,
Highland Corner is a 6.068 Acre Office Commercial development. These proposed regulations outline
the development standards for the proposed general/medical office buildings. There are eight (8) lots
including seven (7) buildings (numbered 1 thru 7), and one (1) X lot. The parking areas and drive aisles
are accessed by North Kimball Avenue at two (2) locations. The common access easement and fire lane
provide cross access and adequate fire coverage. Lots 5, 6, & 7 are accessed via a mutual access
easement rather than directly from a public or private street since they do not have direct frontage on
Kimball Ave.
VARIANCES:
1. The location of the southerly access drive coincides with the existing median break and left turn
lane in North Kimball Ave, which was constructed prior to Southlake Glen Drive. The location of
the southerly access drive does not meet minimum driveway spacing from Southlake Glen Drive
(approximately 125 feet), therefore a variance to Driveway Ordinance No. 634 is being
requested from the 200 feet requirement, to permit the location that coincides with the existing
median break in North Kimball Ave. (Driveway ordinance No. 634 Section 5.0).
2. The two (2) proposed access drives do not meet the minimum stacking depth of 100 feet. The
northerly driveway measures approximately 30.3 feet and the southerly driveway measures
approximately 30.5 feet. Therefore, a variance to Driveway Ordinance No. 634 is being
requested. (Driveway ordinance No. 634 Section 5.0).
