BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Shady Lane MF Southlake, LLC
APPLICANT: Hat Creek Development
PROPERTY SITUATION: 395 Shady Ln. (addressed as 409 Shady Ln. by Tarrant Appraisal District)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 2A02, Samuel Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 525
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District and “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
PROPOSED ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District
HISTORY: - There is no development history on this property.
- The “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District zoning was places on the
portion of the property in the 65’ LDN D/FW Regional Airport Overlay
Zone with the adoption of Zoning Ordinance 480 and the Official Zoning
Map in 1989.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is “Low Density
Residential”.
The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to
provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential
development that promotes the openness and rural character of
Southlake.
Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-
family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling
units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre,
which excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easement, and lots
designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities are those
permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages the
openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
Five foot (5’) sidewalks are required along both sides of local residential
streets and the 5’ sidewalks are shown on the plan internal to the
development.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
A private street meeting City standards for a local street is proposed
internal to the development. Access to the development is proposed from
Shady Lane, which is a local street, via a private access driveway to be
reconstructed to a 24’ paved width per the Fire Marsal’s standards.

Traffic Impact
A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for this development.
TREE PRESERVATION: The development is subject to Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 585-E
since it is being rezoned. The proposed tree preservation does not comply
with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree
Preservation Ordinance 585-E. There is 14.43% of existing tree cover
within the proposed development and 70% of the existing tree cover is
required to be preserved. A variance is requested to preserve 60.13% of
the existing tree cover. The percentage of preserved canopy will
decrease once the review comments regarding drainage and utilities have
been addressed.
UTILITIES: The property is to be served by an extension of an 8” water line through
the proposed Next Century Health Care Plaza to the south (ZA19-0070)
an existing 8” sewer line that runs across the northern boundary of the
proposed Next Century Health Care Plaza property.
DRAINAGE: Drainage will flow to three proposed detention ponds at the northeast and
southwest portions of the property.
CITIZEN INPUT: A SPIN meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2019.
A 2035 Corridor Planning Committee meeting was held on November 14,
2018. A meeting report is attached separately.
STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Concept Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated November 15,
2019.
The variance criteria for Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 585-E are
below:
15. 2 VARIANCES:
a. The City Council may authorize a variance to any provision of this
Ordinance following a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. A request for a variance to any provision in this
Ordinance shall be accompanied by a Tree Conservation Analysis or
Tree Conservation Plan as outlined in Article 6, or other
documentation requested by the Administrative Official, and the
following factors shall be considered in evaluating the variance
request:
i. Whether a literal enforcement of the Ordinance will create an undue
hardship or an unreasonable practical difficulty on the applicant;
ii. Whether the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or
practical difficulty is unique to the affected property and is not self-
imposed;
iii. Whether a reasonable accommodation or alternative solution can
be made to accomplish the desired activity without the alteration of
the tree;
iv. Whether the variance will injure or be wholly compatible with the
use and future or existing development of adjacent properties;
V. Whether the increased development costs caused by preserving
the tree create an undue hardship on the development of the site;
Case No. Attachment A
ZA19-0071 Page 3
vi. Whether there is any identified adverse effect of the alteration or
preservation on erosion, soil moisture retention, flow of surface
water, and drainage systems;
vii. Whether there is any substantial impact to the buffering of
residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of non-
residential uses;
viii. The costs versus the benefits of relocating required utility service
infrastructure and easements based on preservation or alteration
of protected trees;
ix. Whether the proposed tree replacement procedures adequately
mitigate the alteration of the tree;
x. Whether the alteration adversely affects the public health, safety or
welfare; and
xi. Whether the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the
spirit and purpose of this Ordinance to the greatest degree
reasonably possible.
The variance criteria for Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 are below:
Section 9.01 Modifications and Variations:
A. Compliance: Where the Council finds that compliance with these
regulations would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary difficulties
because of exceptional and unique conditions of access, location,
shape, size, drainage, or other physical features of the site, the
requirements may be modified to mitigate the hardship, provided that
the public interest is protected and the development is in keeping with
the general spirit and intent of this ordinance.
1. This section shall not be interpreted to permit the development of
land which is inherently unsuitable for the use proposed.
2. Any modification will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the
provisions of this ordinance.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Please show all proposed utilities on the Tree Conservation Plan.
2. The designated protected trees 1761 and 1762 are within a 20’ Drainage Easement on Lot 5,
where a 24” storm drain and the east detention area are proposed. The construction of the storm
drain and the detention area will alter the trees designated to be preserved.
The designated protected trees along the east and north sides of Lot 4 may also be altered by
the construction of the detention area.
3. The designated protected trees 1755, 1756, 1757, 1758, 1759, 1789, 1790, and 1791 are within
a proposed water line easement on Lot 5, where an 8” water line is proposed to be installed.
The construction of the water line will alter the trees designated to be preserved.
ALTER; ALTERS; ALTERATION: Any act which causes or may reasonably be expected to
cause a tree to die, including but not limited to, any of the following: uprooting any portio n of
the tree’s root system; severing the main trunk of the tree; inflicting damage upon the tree’s root
system by machinery, storage of materials, or the compaction of soil above the root system of
a tree; changing the natural grade of the critical root zone of a tree or uphill from the critical root
zone of the tree so as to divert the flow of water to or away from the critical root zone; applying
herbicidal or other lethal chemicals to the tree or any portion of the critical root zone of the tree;
placement of impermeable material over any portion of the critical root system of a tree; and
trenching within the critical root zone. A protected tree shall be considered to be altered if one
or more of the following occurs: more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the critical root zone is
adversely affected, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its canopy is removed, or the tree is
disfigured to the extent a reasonable person would conclude the tree will not survive.
Trenching: No trenching shall cross the critical root zone of any protected tree, unless approved
in writing by the Administrative Official or exempted from the application of this Ordinance.
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0071 Page 3
Trenching within the critical root zone shall require the issuance of a tree permit. The placement
of underground utility lines is encouraged to be located outside of the critical root zone of
protected trees.
4. The proposed tree preservation does not comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation
Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E. There is 14.43% of existing tree cover
within the proposed development and 70% of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved.
A variance is requested to preserve 60.13% of the existing tree cover. Please revise the plan to
account for the utilities as noted above and revise the variance request. The 28.88% of tree
cover designated as Marginal is included within the total amount of existing tree cover to be
removed.
* 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.
* 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.
