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

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.
