PROJECT: Zoning Change and Site Plan for 807 E. Southlake Blvd. Offices EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Blake Architects is requesting approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan
for 807 E. Southlake Blvd. Offices on property described as Tract 3A01,
O.W. Knight Survey, Abstract No. 899, City of Southlake, Tarrant County,
Texas and located at 807 E. Southlake Boulevard, Southlake, Texas.
Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: "S-P-1"
Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #9.
DETAILS: The property is located on the south side of E. Southlake Boulevard,
approximately 550 feet west of Tower Boulevard.
The purpose of the request is to gain approval of a Zoning Change and
Site Plan from “AG” Agricultural District to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan
District with “O-1” Office District uses to accommodate the development of
three (3) approximately 7,700 square foot medical office buildings. The
development proposes to add 153 standard and 11 handicap parking
spaces to the site. The proposed Site Plan shows access to E. Southlake
Blvd. to the north and Zena Rucker Rd. to the south. There are two
common access drives proposed to connect to the existing Zelda Offices
development to the west and two common access stub-outs to the
property to the east which will connect with future development of that
site. Right of way dedication for a future decel lane is shown on the
northeast boundary on the proposed Site Plan. The trips generated by the
future adjacent lot to the east are anticipated to exceed the threshold for a
decel lane resulting in the likelihood that TxDOT will permit a modified
decel lane in this location.

which is defined in the Southlake 2035
plan as follows:
“The Office Commercial category is a
commercial category designed and
intended for the exclusive use of office
and limited office-related activities. It is
established for and will be allocated to
those districts best suited for
supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has been
established to encourage and permit general professional and business
offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped
surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so
controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future
adjacent and surrounding residential development. Properties with this
designation may serve as a transition between established residential
neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable
activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and
Public/Semi-Public categories.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* The proposed tree conservation does comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation
Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. The site contains 37% existing tree cover
and 60% of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved. 74% of the existing tree cover
is proposed to be preserved.
* Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of
existing tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the
minimum existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on
the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved
Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction
of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved
on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and
the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all
structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be
constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
* Indicates informational comment.
# Indicates required items comment.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. Existing tree credits are proposed to be taken for trees within the south, east, west
bufferyards, and within the interior landscape area. There are no existing trees proposed to be
preserved within the south bufferyard area and 3 canopy trees, and 2 accent tree credits are
proposed to be taken for the required south bufferyard plantings. The applicant is requesting
the south bufferyard as proposed.
2. Please ensure that all mechanical and A/C units, electrical boxes, and transformers are fully
screened from the right-of -way.
* Existing tree credits shall only be granted if the tree/s are in healthy condition and all
requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance have been met as determined at the time of
inspection for a Permanent Certificate of Occupancy.

Public Works/Engineering Review
Steven Anderson, P.E.
Deputy City Engineer
Phone: (817) 748-8101
E-mail: sanderson@ci.southlake.tx.us
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. This review is preliminary. Additional requirements may be necessary with the review of civil
construction plans.
2. New Requirement: Provide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan per TXR150000. The plan
must include all required elements in Part III, Section F of the permit. The City of Southlake
especially reviews Part III, Section F, (1) (g), Maps. The review is for completeness of a plan
to prevent pollution (especially sediment) to the Separate Storm Sewer System. It is highly
recommended the project manager provide a series of maps for complex projects, including
one map showing controls during mass grading and infrastructure, one map showing controls
during vertical construction, and one map showing final stabilization (may be but not always
equitable to the landscape plan). Please include timelines in relation to the project activities for
installation and removal of controls. SWPPP shall be submitted by second review of the civil
construction plans.
3. NEW REQUIREMENT: Submit with Civil Construction Plans a Retaining Wall Layout sheet.
4. Retaining walls greater than 4-feet including the footing shall require structural plans prepared
by a registered engineer in the State of Texas. Retaining walls shall require a permit from the
Building Inspections Department prior to construction.
RIGHT OF WAY:
1. Right of way for a future decel lane will need to be dedicated. The trips generated by the future
adjacent lot will likely exceed the threshold for a decel lane. TxDOT is more likely to permit a
modified decel lane in this location than deny it.
INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS:
* Submit 22”x34” civil construction plans and a completed Construction Plan Checklist directly to
the Public Works Administration Department for review. Please allow 15 business days for
review. The plans shall conform to the most recent construction plan checklist, standard
details and general notes which are located on the City’s website:
http://www.cityofsouthlake.com/PublicWorks/engineeringdesign.asp
* Submit with Civil Construction Plans a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan which outlines
pre-construction, construction and post-construction erosion control measures.
* A Developer Agreement may be required for this development and may need to be approved
by the City Council prior to any construction of public infrastructure. Construction plans for
these improvements must be acceptable to Public Works prior to placing the Developer’s
Agreement on the City Council agenda for consideration.
* Any hazardous waste being discharged must be pretreated per Ordinance No. 836.
