REQUEST
DETAILS: Cooper and Company is requesting approval of a Specific Use Permit to allow up
to seven (7) construction trailers for the general contractor and sub -contractors of
the Parkview Residences and one (1) construction trailer for the general
contractor of the Garden District Brownstones for a two (2) year period ending
November 7, 2019. The Garden District Brownstones construction trailer specific
use permit expired in March 2017. Currently, there is a Garden District
Brownstones sales trailer located on Central Avenue. This trailer was approved
under ZA14-001 for a 5 -year period, expiring on March 31, 2019.
The proposed Parkview Residences construction trailers will be located north of
the existing park along Park Ridge Blvd., west of the existing Garden District
Brownstones construction trailer, and adjacent to the Garden District
Brownstones sales trailer to the west. The initial construction trailer will be used
by the general contractor and will be approximately 600 square feet or less.
Additional trailers will be smaller in size and will be added for subcontractors, as
needed. The existing Garden District Brownstones Rendition Homes construction
trailer (12 ft. x 40 ft.) is proposed to remain on the site. The specific use permit
requires a minimum of two (2) paved parking spaces per facility and will be met
by sixteen (16) parking spaces provided on Park Ridge Blvd. The applicant is
proposing to install two construction gates; one at the west end of the
construction enclosure at the intersection of Park Ridge Blvd. at Central Avenue
and one east of the existing Rendition Homes construction trailer on Park Ridge
Blvd. (currently a private road until it is released by the developer). Existing
fencing along the north and south perimeter will remain and additional fencing
will be extended to the proposed east gate. No fencing is proposed on the north
side of Park Ridge Blvd. between the proposed construction gates. A trash
dumpster is proposed to be located within the construction trailer enclosure. All
specific use permit requirements will be met with the exception of the required
foundation landscaping. A variance will be requested to this requirement.
Case No.

PROPERTY SITUATION: 351 Central Avenue.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 1, Block 20, Garden District and Phase C Brownstones

CURRENT ZONING: "DT" Down Town District
HISTORY: Key approvals associated with Southlake Town Square and residential
development in Town Square:
January 7, 1997 (ZA96-145): Original "PUD" Zoning & Concept Plan
approved for Southlake Town Square;
August 19, 1997 (ZA97-099 and ZA97-100): Southlake Town Square

residential units was approved.
September 7, 2004 (ZA04-057) Preliminary Plat for Block 22, Southlake
Town Square was approved. This area has been designated as open
space by the approved concept plan, development plan and the previous
preliminary plat and has been intended to be dedicated to the City for use
as a park. The purpose of this plat is to subdivide the block into two lots
so that a final plat may be approved and recorded for the dedication and
conveyance of approximately 2 acres of the future 6 acre park in
connection with the residential "Brownstone" project. The final platting of
the remaining 4 acres is being deferred awaiting further development of
the Town Square project.

Plan for Southlake Town Square's Grand Avenue District was approved;

relocating open space/park land from Block 22 (3.78 acres open space
removed) to Block 19 (2.80 acres open space provided) was approved,
which left a shortfall of 0.98 acres of open space. At the time of approval,
Cooper & Stebbins was reviewing appropriate potential new park areas in
Blocks 11 and 20 and planned to designate new park space in one or
both of these blocks, having a combined area of not less than 0.98 acres.
July 17, 2007 (ZA07-050): Zoning Change and Revised Concept Plan for
the purpose of changing the block configurations and realigning Division

and State Streets to accommodate the proposed DPS Central Facility.
This plan also relocates open space from the north side of Division Street
to the south side directly adjacent to McPherson Park. This relocation
results in 0.51 acres of park land being added to McPherson Park. The

approved concept plan, but City Council denied the request and approved
the item with the following stipulations:
1) The City will retain 0.44 acres of open space with location to be
determined later;
2) Requiring a schematic for the open space to be brought before
Council prior to the final approval of the block north of the
Brownstones;
3) Requiring the open space north of the Brownstones to be open to
the public.
