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, the 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 east underneath the existing shared access drive for the overall development property. This access drive is designated as a common access and utility easement for the Georgetown Park addition. The construction of the east side addition will require the relocation of the existing electrical transformer on the site. The main level of the proposed two story addition at the southwest corner 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 awnings to match existing awnings at the north side 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. Based on current parking requirements per building square footage, the number of parking spaces required is 39. The number of parking spaces to be provided is 32. As the site is existing, no additional area is available to provide new parking spaces with the placement of the building additions and existing trees. An attempt was made to provide 4 new additional off-site parking spaces just to the east of the new east building addition. After several discussions with the adjacent property owner, they declined to allow any development on their property. As part of the SP-1 zoning, we are requesting the 32 parking spaces be acceptable instead of 39 spaces. Only a small area of the site will become a new landscaped area. Landscaping will be provided to comply with the Landscape Ordinance No. 544-B as much in this new area in a manner consistent with the existing landscaping and shall consist of shrubs, ornamental grasses, ground cover, seasonal color, or a combination of these plant materials. The existing trees on the property to be removed to allow for the new building additions will be relocated to new locations on the site. The existing trees on the property to remain will be pruned. 2 101 S.
