PROJECT: Site Plan for Moxie’s Southlake
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: 5G Studio is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Moxie’s Southlake on property
described as a portion of Lot 2R, Block 4R1, Main Street and Central Avenue
rights of way, Southlake Town Square Addition Phase I, an addition to the City
of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1460, 1466 and 1472 Main
Street, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “DT” Downtown District. SPIN
Neighborhood #8.
DETAILS: This project is located on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Main Street
in Southlake Town Square.
The purpose of this item is to gain approval of a site plan that includes the
combination of an existing restaurant space (formerly Café Express) and
adjoining retail space (HMK) into a single 9,643 square foot full-service
restaurant.
The existing kitchen space will be expanded to serve a maximum capacity of 403
guests. In addition to a remodel of the interior of the space, the proposal includes
repainting the exterior of the two spaces, upgrade and expand the height of
exterior glazing (windows) and highlight the entries with painted stucco finish.
The existing patio area will also be renovated to create a canopy covered dining
space and landscaped area (1,339 square feet). The proposed canopy will be
opaque with a portion of the structure having operable louvers. The canopy will
not be enclosed but the owner will operate heaters in cold weather. The rights of
way for Main Street and Central Avenue extend to the storefront so a right of way
encroachment agreement, which requires City Council approval, is being
processed separately to allow the outdoor patio area to be located in the right of
way.
Moxie’s is a restaurant that serves New American food and cocktails in a
comfortable and upscale environment. The owner expects the maximum
percentage of gross revenue from the on-premise sales of alcoholic beverages
to be approximately 35%. Moxie’s currently has two locations, one in Dallas and
one in Houston Texas. The Southlake location will employ 150 people and will
be open from 11am – 1am Thursday thru Saturday and 11am – Midnight Sunday
thru Wednesday.

P&Z Recommendations Applicant’s Response
review the valet parking drop off
location to least affect local traffic
Although this item is under separate permit, we have included
the proposed location for valet parking that the owner has
requested in our P&Z response documents.
provide rendering showing masonry
clad columns for patio
Although the design as proposed is in compliance with the
adopted Downtown District design guidelines, we are
providing a rendering and plan of the patio with masonry
pediments at the report of the Commission. Since the patio is
not a large space, these pediments would limit the ability of
the owner to properly furnish and seat the patio. Also, we do
not feel these elements add to the character of the façade or
help visually connect the façade with adjacent storefronts.
provide acoustic isolation options for
the patio area
We will install an acoustical metal soffit and acoustical plaster
finish on the underside of the patio. Cut sheets on these
products have been provided in our P&Z response
documents for reference.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct public hearing
2) Consider approval of a Site Plan

an attractive, pedestrian-oriented
environment that becomes the
center of community life in
Southlake. It may include
compatibly designed retail, office,
cultural, civic, recreational, hotel
and residential uses. All uses shall be developed with a great attention to
design detail and will be integrated into one cohesive district or into
distinct sub-districts, each with its own unique characteristics. A mix of
different uses is encouraged to create a vibrant, lively, and unique
environment.
TREE PRESERVATION
AND LANDSCAPE: No trees are affected by the proposed outdoor seating or façade
revisions. The edge of the existing planter will not change. Construction

PLANNING & ZONING
COMMISSION: March 7, 2019; Approved (4-0) subject to the Staff Report dated March 1,
2019 and Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated February 26, 2019;
acknowledging the applicant’s willingness to the following:
• Review the valet parking drop off location to least affect local
traffic;
• provide rendering showing masonry clad columns for patio;
• and, provide acoustic isolation options for the patio area.
STAFF COMMENTS: The City has adopted Downtown District design guidelines that should be
considered when reviewing elevation changes such as the one being
proposed and are as follows:
Site Design and Parking
Site Design: In order to create attractive, pedestrian friendly streets and
provide street-level activity and interest, buildings shall:
• be built to or close to the sidewalk
• have entrances oriented to the sidewalk for ease of pedestrian access
• be located in such a manner as to minimize conflicts between
pedestrians and automobiles
Building Orientation: Buildings shall be oriented toward the major street
front with the primary entrance located on that street
Corner Lots: At key intersections, buildings located on corner lots shall
utilize variations in building massing to emphasize street intersections as
points of interest in the district.
Parking: On-street parking (parallel or angled) shall be permitted in the
Downtown district. Off-street surface parking shall be predominantly
located behind buildings and accessed by alleys or rear drives when ever
possible.
Building Massing, Scale & Rhythm
Building Massing & Scale: A building’s massing is its exterior volume
and its scale is the relationship of its overall size and its component parts
with its adjoining buildings, spaces, and people.
• A building’s massing shall relate to its site, use, and to the massing of
adjacent buildings.
• A building’s massing shall serve to define entry points and help orient
pedestrians.
• The scale of individual building facade components shall relate to one
another and the human scale, particularly at the street level.
• Buildings and/or facades shall emphasize and frame or terminate
important vistas.
Building Rhythm: A building’s rhythm is the pattern created by the
regular recurrence or alteration of its constituent architectural
components.
• Non-residential and mixed use buildings in Downtown, to the extent
practicable, shall maintain a 25’ or multiples of 25’ building facade
widths.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA19-0009 Page 4
• Variations in the rhythms within individual building facades shall be
achieved within any block of building facades.
• Breaks in the predominant rhythm may also be used to reinforce
changes in massing and important elements such as building
entrances or pedestrian pass-throughs.
Storefronts
Retailers located at the street level primarily use storefronts to orient and
advertise merchandise to customers.
• Retail buildings shall provide street-level pedestrian-oriented uses at
the ground floor level.
• Storefronts on facade treatments that span multiple tenants shall use
architecturally compatible materials, colors, details, awnings, signage,
and lighting fixtures.
Entrances
The design and location of building entrances in the Downtown district
are important to help define the pedestrian environment and create retail-
friendly environments.
• Entrances shall be easily identifiable as primary points of access to
buildings.
• Building entrances may be defined and articulated by architectural
elements such as lintels, pediments, pilasters, columns, porticos,
porches, overhangs, railings, balustrades, and others as appropriate.
All building elements should be compatible with the architectural style,
materials, colors, and details of the building as a whole.
• Entrances to upper level uses may be defined and integrated into the
design of the overall building facade.
Building Materials
Exterior finish building materials shall consist of:
• Masonry, which is defined as brick, cast stone, glass fiber reinforced
concrete, glass fiber reinforced gypsum, and split face concrete
masonry units
• Stucco, including synthetic stucco (exterior insulation finishing system
- EFIS)
• Glazed ceramic and porcelain tile
• Fiber reinforced plastic (with the exception of plastic or vinyl siding) -
used for exterior building components, including but not limited to:
cornice and entablature elements, decorative columns and pilasters,
storefront trim, railings, and balustrades, spandrel panels, and similar
elements.
• Painted steel and aluminum, cast iron, bronze, brass, copper
(including terne coated)
• Roofing materials (visible from any public right-of-way): copper,
factory finished painted metal, slate, synthetic slate, terra cotta,
cement tile, glass fiber shingles.
Materials other than those listed above may be used for architectural trim
and accent applications including, but not limited to, cornices and
decorative brackets, frieze panels, decorative lintels, shutters, and porch
or balcony railings.
