Item 6K VerizonCase No. ZA18-0023 S T A F F R E P O R T August 28, 2018 CASE NO: ZA18-0023 PROJECT: Site Plan for Verizon Staging Facility EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On behalf of Verizon Wireless Texas, LLC, Griffin Harris, PLLC is requesting approval of a site plan for a construction facility on property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Solana Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 500 W. Dove Rd. Current Zoning: "NR-PUD" Non-residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN neighborh ood #1. DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to consider approval of a site plan for a permanent construction office on the property. The applicant has submitted a site plan for an approximately 3,577 square foot construction office building with building materials, brick and metal roof, to match the materials of the existing main building. The proposed location for the new construction office building is adjacent to the north parking lot. The west construction trailer has been recently removed from th e property to allow the construction for the new construction office building. The remaining construction trailer will be removed upon completion of the new building. On March 6, 2018, City Council approved the extension of the expiration of the Specific Use Permit for temporary construction facilities (2 construction trailers) until July 1, 2019. Also at this meeting, the City Council reviewed concepts and possible locations for a permanent construction office facility. The proposed site plan and staging facility location are consistent with the discussions that occurred at the March 6th meeting. The site is subject to the SH 114 Corridor Overlay regulations of Section 43.9.c.1.b, as amended, which states that any façade visible from SH 114 must meet horizontal and vertical articulation. The applicant has provided a photographic illustration of the sightline from SH 114, but based on the information submitted staff cannot clearly determine if the building will be visible from SH 114. As such, staff is recommending that following construction that if it is determined that the building is/will be visible from SH 114, additional landscaping will be installed beyond that shown on the landscape plan to screen the building from SH 114. Other options would be to require articulation on the visible side of the building or grant a variance to the Corridor Overlay section for horizontal and vertical articulation (the applicant has not requested a variance). Also, though not directly associated with this site plan request, the applic ant has provided a tree replacement plan in your packet tor the trees along W. Kirkwood Blvd. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing 2) Consider Approval Department of Planning & Development Services Case No. ZA18-0023 ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map (C) Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated August 3, 2018 (D) Surrounding Property Owners Map (E) Surrounding Property Owners Responses Full Size Plans (for Commission and Council members only ) Link to PowerPoint Presentation Link to Comprehensive Plan Review Link to Narrative Link to Landscape Replacement Letter Link to Plans Link to SPIN Report STAFF CONTACT: Ken Baker (817) 748-8067 Patty Moos (817) 748-8269 Case No. Attachment A ZA18-0023 Page 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OWNER: Verizon Wireless Texas, LLC APPLICANT: Griffin Harris, PLLC PROPERTY SITUATION: 500 W.
