The Downtown Residences
Where Luxury Meets Convenience
01 I High end design delivers the space you need,
without the space you don't
02 1 Flexible multi -function spaces deliver luxury
amenities for living and entertaining
03 1 Town Square delivers a lifestyle that can be
enjoyed every day
Our Vision

Residences in order to:
01 1 Build a Stronger Community
02 1 Build a Stronger Downtown
03 1 Build a Stronger School District
"The future of luxury is freedom... the freedom to just

Build a Stranger Community
Retain and Attract ValuabLe Residents
We are losingvaluable residents as their lifestyles change,
and failing to attract others that would be an asset to the
Community:
01 1 Seniors and other Empty Nesters
02 1 Family Situations (Parents and In -Laws of
Southlake Residents; Divorcees, etc.)
03 1 Travelling Lifestyle (Corporate Executives;
Frequent Fliers; etc.)
Community Trend
Rise of the Affluent Renter
01 1 Affluent "Renters by Choice" are driving
the luxury rental development boom in
the U.S., Texas and DFW.
02 Luxury rentals free up time for travel,
families, and personal interests.
03 Today's luxury rentals provide high-end
residential design and amenities.

The heart and soul of Southlake is our
community.

Build a Stronger Downtown
Leveraging Our Basis
01 1 Town Square is in demand as a place to live.
02 1 More residents living in Town Square will add to its
vibrancy and sustainability.
03 1 Growing the Town Square community of residents
will help attract support, retain, attract retailers,
restaurants, office tenants and others.
Mixed Use Trends
Live / Work / Play
01 1 Today's mixed use environments provide strong
residential communities.
Goal No. 1 of the Southlake Land Use Plan is to
"promote quality development that ... contributes
to an overall sense of place and meet the needs of a
vibront and diverse community."
02 1 Changes in shopping, entertainment, working, living
and leisure have placed a premium on these
experiential environments.

a stronger sense of place, and enhances project
performance and long term economic returns.

Property Tax Revenues Protected from
Robin Hood Recapture
01 1 $100+ million project will generate over $1.4 million in
annual CISD property tax revenues which are protected
from Robin Hood recapture due to its location in the
City's Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ).
02 1 TIRZ term lasts until December 31, 2038.
03 1 Affluent Renters have fewer children on average.

Raising Tax Exempt Revenues
r........., = I 2500 f�
01 In 1997, the TIRZ was established to provide a financing —z
mechanism to facilitate high quality development in the
SE sector of the City which includes Town Square and 4
CISD facilities.
02 The TI RZ has helper! fund City and CISD projects a
including Town Hall, DPS HQ, Dawson, Eubanks and
Old Union campuses, and the Dragon Football Stadium.
03 1 The law in 1997 grandfathered CISD's use of 100% of
their TIF increment without Robin Hood recapture. r�
Fits With Southlake's
Vision for Town Square
"Southlake's economy will continue to change in response to
technology, social change, and global trends. Zoning and land
use must resvond to these changes."
(2016) Southlake Economic Development Master Plan
"Promoting a functional and attractive community through the
use of urban design principles; and allowing developers
flexibility in land use and site design."
DT Downtown District Zoning Section 37.1
Our Commitment
Cooper and Stebbins has a 25 -year track
record as a proven Partner:
01 1 "Community First" approach
02 1 World Class Planning & Design
03 1 Superior Social, Economic and
Environmental Outcomes
Let's Get it Right
...Again
Anti -density arguments were made in 1996 to
promote "business as usual" and to stop Town
Square. Yet we worked together as a
community to create the Downtown that sets us
apart from our peers and has become
Southlake's economic engine.
We ask the community of Southlake to work
with us again to build a stronger Community,
Downtown and School District.
Questions and Concerns:
General comments and concerns from many residents in attendance:
• Concerns for increase in traffic on N. Carroll Avenue, Southlake Blvd, and in Town Square and
the traffic study for the project.
• Concerns for increase in attendance in the CISD schools and overcrowding. Schools and
education are most important.
• Concerns with the property values in Southlake with this development.
• Concern over the applicant's comment on the demand for downsizing in Southlake.
• Concern of the renter vs. owner? Response: Changing market conditions for apartment sized
homes and affluent renters by choice. Right time for apartments in the downtown environment.
• How many McKenzie projects in the area? The 5 -star McKenzie is the only one in the area and
this project will be a 4 -star project.
• Concerned with apartments in Southlake as he moved to Southlake because there were no
apartments.
• Comment that apartments in Dallas (downtown) for younger individuals, has traffic and density
concerns, and concern for residences for transient population.
• Comment that the community is not supporting the project, not a right fit for Town Square and is
going to bring in people to check out apartments.
• Concern for the changes in the market conditions- what will happen to the apartments? What
will happen if this doesn't work out for the City? Response: The real estate market indicates a
market for this type of housing in Southlake- our commitment to community first.
• Concern with the validity of the traffic study on N. Carroll Avenue.
Comment regarding one resident living in Town Square that likes the concept and wants more
residents in Town Square to support the retail, restaurants and having options. Density in Town
Square is okay. What is the current residential capacity of Town Square and what is the
residential capacity of Town Square? Response: The original proposal for Town Square
residential use was 30-40% of the development. The City's Land Use Plan was projecting
approximately 15% residential. The current residential development is approximately 7% and
with this development would bring it up to approximately 15%. Currently, the residential
estimation for Town Square is a couple hundred residents. The future residential projection,
with this development is the up to 1,500 - 3,000 residents.
• Will the development open space be dedicated to the City? Response: No.
• Comment: People are not leaving Southlake.
• Concern with apartments bringing in more kids. Will there be a limited number of kids allowed in
apartments? Response: No. The size of the apartments would limit the number of residents.
• Comment concerning the presentation slide with the Dallas apartment (McKenzie) and relating it
to Southlake- Downtown Dallas and Southlake are different.
• Comment: There are plenty of housing products of different sizes within Southlake to own and
rent.
• Comment that resident is not in favor of the apartments, but have ownership, not rental.
• Who will be the property management company? Response: Town Square will be the owner
and managed by a similar property management company used by the McKenzie in Dallas.
• Comment that renters do not pay property taxes- owner do, renters are transient, school will
need trailers, against high density. Concern with the exempt grandparent clause to allow
additional students in the schools. Response: The owner of the apartment complex pays the
property tax for the apartments and will confirm with the school district on the enrollment
concerns.
• Concern with student to teacher ratio with increase in student numbers and decrease in
property values.
• Comment that resident likes low density and school district and doesn't plan on moving-
Southlake is my home.
• Comment that the resident is concerned that the City will being able to stop the apartment
development moving outside Town Square and being able to guarantee that keeping them in
Town Square.
