SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use
designation for the site is Office
Commercial which is defined in
the Southlake 2035 plan as
follows:
Purpose and Definition: The
Office Commercial category is a
commercial category designed
and intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office-related
activities. It is established for and will be allocated to those districts best
suited for supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has
been established to encourage and permit general professional and
business offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped
surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so
controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent
and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation
may serve as a transition between established residential neighborhoods,
major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities are
those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows an existing 8’ multi-use trail along W.
Southlake Blvd. and future <8’ sidewalk along S. White Chapel Blvd. A 5’
sidewalk is required along S. White Chapel Blvd. A review comment has
been added to remove “existing” from the label since no sidewalk
currently exists. The 5’ sidewalk is required to be constructed with the
proposed development.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The site has direct access to W Southlake Blvd, a six-lane divided arterial
with a minimum 130’ to 140’ of right of way and indirect access to S. White
Chapel Blvd, which is shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan as an
undivided two-lane arterial with a minimum 88’ of right of way. S. White
Chapel Blvd. is constructed a four-lane divided arterial with center turn
lanes adjacent to the subject property. Adequate right of way appears to
exist for this project pending the TIA review.
Traffic Impact
A full TIA report was previously submitted and reviewed for this
development.
TREE PRESERVATION: There have been no changes to the previously approved Tree
Conservation Plan. If the development was proposed to be traditional
zoning, the existing tree cover preservation would comply with the
Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation
Ordinance. The existing tree cover is 6.30% and 70% of the existing tree
cover would be required to be preserved. 72.04% of the existing tree
cover is proposed to be preserved.

Site Plan Review Summary No.3, dated May 29, 2018
Planning Review
1. Please make the following change to the Site Plan.
a. Show and label the required 30’ front building along S. White Chapel Blvd. and remove
the 15’ building line shown.
b. The sidewalk along S. White Chapel Blvd. does not exist, so please remove “existing”
from the label. Construction of the sidewalk will be required with the development.
c. In the Site Data Summary chart, please change the existing zoning to “O-1” only as there
is no “S-P-1” zoning on any of the property.
2. Please revise the label on the Site Plan for the 8’ cedar fence w/cap on steel columns adjacent
to the residential properties to the south to state that the steel columns are to be located on the
north side of the fence. Also revise the fence detail on the landscape plans.
3. Please make the following changes regarding the elevations:
a. Staff strongly recommends providing a material sample board with all exterior materials
for the P&Z Commission and City Council meetings.
4. Provide a copy of an executed and recorded cross access, reciprocal parking and maintenance
agreement prior to the issuance of any building permits.
5. Driveway Ordinance No. 634, as amended, requires a minimum stacking depth of 100’ if the
average number of parking spaces per driveway falls within 50 and 199 spaces and the total
number of spaces exceeds 200. The applicant is proposing stacking depths of approximately
Case No. Attachment E
ZA19-0042 Page 9
70’ on the W. Southlake Blvd. driveway, 74’ on the north S. White Chapel Blvd. driveway and
18’ on the south S. White Chapel Blvd. driveway to allow the development to be served by the
existing driveways to and from the adjacent properties.
* Provide easements for utilities and drainage per the approved construction plans.
Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* If the development was proposed to be traditional zoning, the existing tree cover preservation
would comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation
Ordinance. The existing tree cover is 6.30% and 70% of the existing tree cover would be
required to be preserved. 72.04% of the existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved.
* Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing
tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum
existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on
the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a planned development
zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation,
Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall
consider the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the
corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning
Commission shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council
finds that the Plan or Analysis provides for the:
i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so
as to maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including
mature tree stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades;
ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the
Environmental Resource Protection Map;
iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential to buffer residential
Case No. Attachment E
ZA19-0042 Page 10
areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of nonresidential uses;
iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural or man-made
drainage creek;
v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other
streets as identified and prioritized in the Street Typology designation; and
vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to
this Ordinance.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree
Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the
approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the
zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures,
easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do
not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. Eastern Red Cedar is being utilized as a Canopy Tree. The Landscape Ordinance lists
Eastern Red Cedar as an Accent Tree.
2. There is a note in the Bufferyard Summary Chart that says "A canopy tree planted on the site
must be a minimum of 4" in caliper." All of the canopy trees are specified to be 3" caliper. The
Landscape Ordinance requires a minimum of 50% of the canopy trees to be 4” and 50% to be
2”.
3. Existing tree credits shall only be granted if the tree/s are in healthy condition and all
requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance have been met as determined at the time of
inspection for a Permanent Certificate of Occupancy.
