Jennings Avenue, Suite #100 Fort Worth, Texas 76104 (817) 332-9477 (972) 445-6425 FAX (817) 332-9487 (888) TRY-RPGA www.rpgaarchitects.com SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL NARRATIVE ZA17-103 2525 E. Southlake Blvd. SP-1 USE AND REGULATION DOCUMENT Zoning Change Application SP-1 with C-2 Uses limited to Local Retail Commercial For 2525 E. Southlake Boulevard, we are requesting SP-1 Zoning with C-2 uses limited to Local Retail Commercial use. The property is an existing site and building that was developed as part of the Georgetown Park Development. Since then, site was subdivided and lots were sold individually. As such, we are requesting for a zero lot building line at the eastern side of the property. We also ask for an increase of impervious coverage as indicated on the Site Data Summary Chart. The property owner, International MBC, Inc. (Pieter Andries Hye) intends to add a secure entry, secure loading and unloading and secure VIP Entry on the east side. The existing 24” storm drain pipe that runs within the existing 10’ drainage easement will be rerouted to the west underneath the Eastside addition which will have a foundation system with piers to allow the drainage pipe to stay clear of foundation structure. The construction of the east side addition will also require the relocation of the existing electrical transformer on the site. The owner intents to add four parking spaces at the adjacent property and provide landscape to comply with the Landscape Ordinance No. 544-B. The main level of the proposed two story addition at the southwest corner remains exactly as previously approved and will consist of an expansion of the existing jewelers shop. The second level of the two story addition will accommodate the onsite 24/7 surveillance staff. The existing building is brick and stucco with fabric awning at the north side of the building. The proposed 2 story addition and east side addition will be constructed using the same materials in keeping with the same design of the existing building. Proposed are fabric awning awnings to match existing at the north and south of the east side addition and at the northwest tower as indicated on the colored elevations. Due to the proposed building additions, the impervious coverage exceeds the allowed impervious coverage under the current C-2 zoning by 4.9%. Part of the SP-1 request is to allow for this greater impervious coverage percentage. The existing trees on the property will remain and be pruned. Additional shrubs and seasonal ground cover will be provided per landscape ordinance requirements as indicated on site plan submittal sheet. The proposed parking landscape island will contain at a minimum on one canopy tree and remaining area consisting of shrubs, ornamental grasses, ground cover, seasonal color, or a combination of these plant materials. A colored landscape and tree protection plan have been provided as noted in the site plan review summary. Also included are colored building elevations with dimensions and building articulations.
