P&Z Commission Condition Applicant’s Response
The applicant’s willingness to provide
additional landscape at the east emergency
entrance and on the Shady Ln. side of the
property near the detention pond.
Additional landscaping has been provided in the
area where the western emergency access
driveway has been eliminated and additional trees
are shown to be preserved along the north property
line due to the reduced width of the private street
from Shady Ln. The plans were being reviewed by
the Landscape Administrator as of the date of this
report.
Subject to the Landscape Administrator’s
approval of a Tree Preservation survey.
The Landscape Administrator is reviewing revised
plans submitted November 25, 2019 and a revised
evaluation of a good faith effort to preserve trees will
be made prior to the City Council meeting on
December 3, 2019.
Any new trees should be evergreen with
foliage the full year.
Canopy trees have been designated to be Live
Oaks in the Landscape Plan plant list.
Noting the applicant’s willingness to move the
north side fence further south onto the
property to allow landscape plantings on both
sides of the fencing and to review the
material type to either a wood a wrought iron
type.
The 8’ cedar fence with cap and metal posts, stained
on both sides, that is shown along the north side of
the private street from Shady Ln. meets the “F-1”
bufferyard screening requirement.
Further investigation into eliminating the east
emergency access if not required by the Fire
Marshal.
The eastern emergency access driveway is required
by the Fire Marshal for the pavement width of the
private street from Shady Ln. to be reduced from 24’
to 19’ per the P&Z Commission motion for approval
of The Canopy (ZA19-0071). The western
emergency access driveway has been eliminated
and an approved hammerhead turnaround is
provided.

LAND USE CATEGORY: Mixed Use
CURRENT ZONING: “C-3” General Commercial District
HISTORY: - September 19, 1989; City Council approved the “C-3” General
Commercial District with the adoption of Zoning Ordinance 480 and the
Official Zoning Map.
- August 5, 2003; City Council approved a Preliminary Plat (5-0) subject
to Plat Review Summary No. 3, dated July 11, 2003 (ZA03-038).
- August 21, 2003; Approved a Final Plat under Planning Case ZA03-056
on the consent agenda of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
Final Plat was filed in Cabinet ‘A’, Slide 8967, on January 30, 2004.
- A Site Plan (ZA15-072) for Mainstreet Southlake Transitional Facility
Care/Post-Acute Care to construct an approximately 68,595 square foot,
two-story building with one-story wings was approved February 2, 2016.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is Mixed Use which is
defined in the Southlake 2035 plan as follows:
Purpose and Definition: 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. The range of
activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity
to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates
comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New
development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing
development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design
and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use
designation is intended for medium- to higher-intensity office buildings,
hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses.
Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses
that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible
with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial
categories.

Landscape Administrator
Phone: (817) 748-8229
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Either survey or provide on the Tree Conservation Plan the ranges of trunk diameters and
species density information for the mott trees in the center of the property which were not
individually surveyed. If it is not surveyed now, it will be required to be clearly sur veyed and
provided on the required Tree Protection Plan if a Building Permit is submitted. There are clearly
existing protected trees outside of the proposed easements where utilities are proposed, fire
lanes, parking areas, and the building pads. These trees will be required to be mitigated in
accordance with the regulations of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-B.
2. On the Tree Conservation Plan provide proposed grade changes, cut/fill.
* A Preliminary Plat for the property was approved prior to the effective date of the Tree
Preservation Ordinance 585-E. In accordance with Section 20.0, of Ord. 585-E, the development
of the property is regulated by the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-B. The applicant has the
option to request that the development of the property be regulated by the current Tree
Preservation Ordinance 585-E.
Under the regulations of Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-B the allowed removal of protected
trees are as follows;
Non-residential Development: In a non-residential development, all protected trees that the
Landscape Administrator determines must be altered in order to install utility lines within public
R.O.W. or public utility or drainage easements as shown on an approved Final Plat, or to install
fire lanes, required parking areas and building pad sites as shown on an approved Site Plan,
shall be exempt from the tree protection and tree replacement requirements listed in Sections 7
and 8 of this Ordinance. Any protected trees within these areas that the Landscape Administrator
determines do not have to be altered shall be subject to the tree protection requirements listed
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0070 Page 4
in Section 8 of this Ordinance, but not to the tree replacement requirements listed in Section 7
of this Ordinance. All other areas of the development shall be subject to both the tree
replacement and the tree protection requirements, and all other provisions of this Ordinance.
* EVALUATIONS: The Landscape Administrator shall evaluate any plans required by this
Ordinance to determine whether the developer has made a good-faith effort to preserve as many
protected trees as possible. The Landscape Administrator shall prepare an analysis and forward
it to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council for their consideration regarding
denial or approval of any concept plan, site plan, and preliminary plat that is necessary for
development. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall take into
consideration the criteria for tree preservation listed in Section 4.5 of this Ordinance in
determining whether to deny or approve any concept plan, site plan, or preliminary plat.
The criteria within Section 4.5 which the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
take into consideration for tree preservation in determining whether to deny or approve any
concept plan, site plan, or preliminary plat.
a. Whether or not a reasonable accommodation or alternative solution can be made to
accomplish the desired activity without the alteration of the tree;
b. The cost of preserving the tree;
c. The increased development costs caused by preserving the tree;
d. Whether the tree is worthy of preservation;
e. The effect of the alteration on erosion, soil moisture, retention, flow of surface waters,
and drainage systems;
f. The need for buffering residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of
nonresidential uses;
g. Whether the tree interferes with a utility service;
h. Whether the proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to Section 7 of this
Ordinance adequately mitigate the alteration of the tree; and
i. Whether the alteration adversely affects the public health, safety or welfare.
* Development Evaluation
The Landscape Administrator is reviewing revised plans submitted November 25, 2019 and a
revised evaluation of a good faith effort to preserve trees will be made prior to the City Council
meeting on December 3, 2019. The previous evaluation is below.
Given the lack of information provided on the submitted Tree Conservation Plan and Grading
Plan, a good-faith effort has not been made to preserve protected trees across the proposed
development. It is unfortunate that the mass quantity of existing trees is within the central
portion of the property but there seems to be no attempt to preserve any existing trees within
the interior landscape areas on Lot 2, and no tree removal mitigation is proposed. Existing trees
are proposed to be preserved outside of the building pad area on Lot 1R2.
Since no information is provided regarding grading across the property, it is difficult to
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0070 Page 5
determine if any reasonable accommodations or alternative solutions can be made to
accomplish the desired activity without the alteration of existing trees. If retaining walls were
built would the cost of the construction of the retaining walls be more than preserving the tree/s
their intended to preserve? Not enough information is provided about the trees not surveyed in
the central portion of the development to determine which trees may be worthy of preservation
and may provide some buffering of the nonresidential use.
* 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:
* The plans were being reviewed by the Landscape Administrator as of the date of this report. A
comparison of the changes to the plans will be presented at the City Council meeting on
December 3, 2019. The previous comments are below.
1. The “Required” and “Provided” interior landscape canopy trees calculations for Lot 2 are
incorrect. The required minimum amount of canopy trees for 21,000 square feet is forty-two (42).
2. Change the caliper inches of new canopy trees to 4” in the plant list to match the legend.
3. There are parking islands with no proposed lighting that contain accent trees. All parking planter
islands in parking areas shall contain a minimum of one (1) canopy tree with the remaining area
in shrubs, ground cover, ornamental grasses or seasonal color. Planter islands which have light
poles for lighting the parking areas may substitute two (2) understory/accent trees for the
required canopy tree.
4. One of the parking landscape islands on Lot LR2 is less than 12’ wide. Parking lot islands shall
have a minimum width of 12’ back-to-back if curbed or 13’ edge-to-edge if no curb is intended,
and shall be equal to the length of the parking stall.
The other half island which is also less than 12’ wide, does not attach to a parking landscape
island on the east adjoining property. The two parking landscape islands which would be on the
east adjoining property were combined into a larger island to preserve an existing tree.
5. Existing tree credits are being taken for existing trees within the bufferyards and interior
landscape area. 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.
* The applicant is requesting a variance to eliminate the required interior lot line bufferyards.
USE OF BUFFERYARDS – A bufferyard may be used for passive recreation, such as
pedestrian, bike or equestrian trails, provided that: (a) no plant material is eliminated; (b) the
total width of the bufferyard is maintained; and (c) all other regulations of this ordinance are met.
In no event shall the following uses be permitted in a bufferyard: playfields, stables, swimming
pools, tennis courts or similar facilities, accessory buildings, parking facilities, or tras h
dumpsters.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The required backflow protection (double check valve) for the sprinkler systems can be located
on the riser if the riser is within 100 feet of the water main, measured linearly along the length
of the pipe. If the riser is further than 100 feet from the main, the double check valve shall be in
a vault. Riser rooms shall be a minimum of 5’X5’ if the double check is located in a vault, or a
minimum of 6’X6’ if it is located on the riser. (Label riser room locations)
Provide a dead-end fire lane in front of Building 5 to meet the distance requirements for the
Fire Department Connection to be within 50 feet of a fire lane, or provide a remote FDC.
Revise the curve radius adjacent to the dead end fire lane to be a minimum 30’.
