Item 7A - Comprehensive Plan ReviewComprehensive Plan Analysis Case No.: ZA18-0030 Review by: Jerod Potts Date of Review: 10/10/18 Project Name: The ParQ Current Project Address: 351 W. Southlake Blvd. Existing Zoning: S-P-1 (Ord. No. 480-638) Proposed Zoning: S-P-1 Existing Future Land Use: Mixed Use Proposed Future Land Use: No proposed change. Overview The subject property is included in the FM 1709 Corridor planning area, as discussed in the Southlake 2035 FM 1709 – FM 1938 Corridor Plan. The subject property has an existing future land use designation of Mixed Use. Staff note: this proposal received entitlement (City Case # ZA13-019, Capelli Offices and Suites) through the adoption of Ordinance No. 480-638. It is also worth mentioning that in 2013 the applicant received approval on a Land Use Plan Amendment for Capelli Offices & Suites (CP13-001) to change the then land use for this site from Office Commercial to Mixed Use, justifying the allowance for limited retail commercial uses associated with the salon suites. With the current Current Zoning: S-P-1 Future Land Use: Mixed Use SITE request, the applicant is proposing to revise the zoning to remove the salon uses and change the approved building elevations, and add square footage to each floor by removing covered walkways and balconies shown on the approved plan. Mixed Use Land Use Category Staff note: While the applicant is requesting to omit the commercial uses from the approved zoning, the primary purpose for the request is to modify the existing building façade. The comprehensive plan review will focus primarily on the aesthetic and functional components of the land use category within the current scope of the existing zoning, rather than diving into other scale and context criteria such as hotel, open space, civic and/or single-family residential uses. The purpose of the Mixed Use land use category is to provide an option for large-scale, master- planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. Below are descriptions of applicable Scale and Context Criteria for the Mixed Use Future Land Use category. For a complete description of this category, please view the 2035 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan. General: Buildings and their pedestrian entrances are to be oriented towards internal streets. Larger-format retail uses (with footprints larger than 40,000 s.f.) shall be located adjacent to the arterial or highway with pedestrian entrances from internal streets. Retail and Office Uses: Pedestrian-oriented or automobile-oriented. Future Land Use – Optional Land Use Designations This parcel does not lie within any Optional Land Use Designations. Master Thoroughfare Plan According to the Mobility Master Plan, of which the Master Thoroughfare Plan is a component, Southlake Blvd. (FM 1709) is identified as an A6D Arterial. The street has already been constructed per the identified Master Thoroughfare Plan specifications. Pathways Master Plan The Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan includes the Pathways Master Plan. There is an existing 8’ multi-use trail abutting the northern portion of this lot. SITE
