Item 6ACase No. ZA19-0009 S T A F F R E P O R T March 12, 2019 CASE NO: ZA19-0009 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. Case No. ZA19-0009 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.

Case No. Attachment A ZA19-0009 Page 3 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.
