Item 9.Florence Elementary S T A F F R E P O R T March 30, 2012 CASE NO: ZA12-023 PROJECT: Site Plan for Florence Elementary Driveway and Parking Improvements EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On behalf of Keller Independent School District, Teague, Nall and Perkins is requesting approval of a Site Plan for driveway and parking improvements at Florence Elementary School on property described as Tracts 1F and 1G, Jesse G. Allen Survey, Abstract No. 18, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 3095 Johnson Rd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: CS Community Service District. SPIN Neighborhood # 11. REQUEST DETAILS: The applicant is requesting a site plan for improvements to the driveway and parking in front of the school to improve traffic flow and to provide additional parking spaces for pick up and drop off of students and for special events. The limited internal driveway stacking and off-street parking that currently exists is resulting in traffic backing up on Johnson Rd. and parents parking in surrounding neighborhoods during drop off and pick up times. The proposed driveway configuration will increase the internal driveway stacking from approximately 10-15 cars to approximately 60-70 cars. Off-street parking will increase from 101 spaces to 148 spaces. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing 2) Consider approval of a site plan ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map (C) Plans and Support Information – Link to PowerPoint Presentation (D) SP IN Report (E) Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated March 30, 2012 (F) Surrounding Property Owners Map and Responses (H) Full Size Plans (for Commission and Council Members Only) STAFF CONTACT: Ken Baker (817)748-8067 Richard Schell (817)748-8602 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OWNER: Keller Independent School District APPLICANT: Teague, Nall and Perkins PROPERTY ADDRESS: 3095 Johnson Rd. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Tracts 1F and 1G, Jesse G. Allen Survey, Abstract No. 18 LAND USE CATEGORY: Public/Semi-Public CURRENT ZONING: “CS” – Community Services District HISTORY: -The school was constructed in 1975 or 1976. -The property was given the “CS” – Community Service District zoning designation with the adoption of Zoning Ordinance No. 480 in 1989. -A concept plan (ZA98-028) for an addition to the school and an additional parking area was approved by City Council on May 5, 1998. -A revised concept plan (ZA99-104) to add a shade structure was approved by City Council on Dec. 7, 1999. -A site plan (ZA10-028) to add a shade structure over existing playground equipment was approved by City Council on June 15, 2010. PATHWAYS MASTER PLAN: A six (6) foot sidewalk exists along Johnson Rd. No sidewalk exists or is planned for Harrell Dr. The City Engineer has determined that the requirement for a 5’ sidewalk along all public streets with a Council approved site plan is not roughly proportional to the proposed driveway and parking improvements since the number of students is not increasing. An on-street bikeway is planned for Harrell Drive and Johnson Rd. TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT: The school is located on the south side of Johnson Rd. and the east side of Harrell Drive. Johnson Rd. is designated and constructed as a 2-lane undivided collector within approximately 70 feet of right-of-way. WATER & SEWER: Water and sewer service is existing. No new extension or modification is needed. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: The proposed improvements should not have an impact on existing storm water run-off or systems. TREE PRESERVATION: No trees are proposed to be removed with the project. Five trees are to be saved in the area of the proposed driveway and parking improvements and three canopy trees are proposed to be added in that area. CITIZEN INPUT/ BOARD REVIEW: A SPIN Meeting for this project was held by the applicant on March 26, 2012. A SPIN Report is included as Attachment D of this Staff Report. STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated March 30, 2012.
