PROJECT: Site Plan for Claffey Pools
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of CX3 Properties LLC, Masterplan Texas is requesting approval of a
Site Plan for Claffey Pools on property described as Tract 3, Brumlow Industrial
District, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located
at 1625 Brumlow Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “I-1” Light Industrial
District. SPIN Neighborhood #8.
DETAILS: This project is generally located on the east side of Brumlow Avenue,
approximately 1,700 feet north of SH 26.
The purpose of this request is to make improvements to the site that include a
remodeled and enlarged courtyard, which is used as a display area for model
structures; current storage conversion to office space; construction of an
approximately 4,236 square foot single-story office building; installation of an
approximately 3,346 square foot prefabricated metal storage building; and
improvements to the parking area and driveway.
The existing building, totaling 7,530 square feet on the site, is nonconforming
with regard to the minimum 15 foot side yard setback required along the north
boundary and is to remain. The building varies from 5.2 feet to 0, west to east,
from the north boundary line, for a length of approximately 146 feet.

VARIANCE
REQUEST: Bufferyards:
1. The north boundary line requires a 10’ F-1 bufferyard, which also required
an 8’ opaque fence, where the property abuts “Mixed Use” Land Use
Designation from the northwest corner of the property for a length of
approximately 360 feet. The remaining approximately 232 feet requires
only a 5’ Type A bufferyard with no fencing required.
A variance is requested to allow the existing building to remain within the
10’ F-1 Bufferyard area as shown on the plan with no opaque fence from
the northwest corner of the existing building to Brumlow Avenue. An 8
foot masonry wall is proposed from northeast corner of the existing
building for a length of approximately 70 feet to the east. This covers a
length of approximately 275 feet of the required 360 feet of F-1 Bufferyard
area from Brumlow Avenue. The remaining ±317 feet of the north
boundary is proposed as a 10’ Bufferyard with F-1 plantings and a
minimum 5’ chain link fence with opaque slats.
2. Allow the required plantings in the west bufferyard along Brumlow Avenue
to be east of the bufferyard area, between the existing building and
Brumlow Avenue.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct a Public Hearing
2. Consider Approval of Requested Site Plan

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: CX3 Properties, LLC
APPLICANT: Masterplan Texas
PROPERTY SITUATION: 1625 Brumlow Avenue
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 3, Brumlow Industrial District
LAND USE CATEGORY: Industrial / Mixed Use
CURRENT ZONING: “I-1” – Light Industrial District
HISTORY: - A Final Plat Showing designating Tracts 1-3, Brumlow Industrial
District was filed in 1979.
- A Zoning Change and Site Plan was approved by City Council for
Claffey Business Park under Planning Case ZA99-051.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use
designation for the site is Mixed
Use and Industrial. The Future
Land Use Plan defines Mixed
Use as a 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. Industrial is defined as Industrial and
business service development that is relatively free of unwanted side
effects, such as unsightliness, noise, odor, glare, vibrations, etc., is
permitted in the Industrial category. If meeting the qualification of
relatively free of unwanted side effects, suitable types of development in
the Industrial category can be characterized by the manufacturing,
processing, packaging, assembly, storage, warehousing and/or
distribution of products. Ancillary commercial and retail activities
associated with these uses are permitted. Public Parks / Open Space and
Public / Semi-Public activities as described above may be permitted if

* Because the proposed buildings exceed 5,000 square feet and/or 30% of the existing building
the square footage, the entire property is required to comply with the requirements of the
Landscape Ordinance No. 585-B; and Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 43 – Bufferyards. A
variance request letter has been submitted regarding existing conditions in the north and
west bufferyards as well as the proposed structure connecting the existing building with
the new building on the north side of the proposed hardscape area. The proposed
landscaping plant material quantities comply with the interior landscape requirements of
the Landscape Ordinance and the bufferyards requirements of the Bufferyard
Regulations, except the total amount of plant material is spaced throughout the property
instead of in designated bufferyards areas.
1. The following issues are regarding bufferyards:
a. The north boundary line requires a 10’ F-1 bufferyard, which also requires an 8’
opaque fence, where the property abuts “Mixed Use” Land Use Designation from the
northwest corner of the property for a length of approximately 360 feet to the east. The
remaining approximately 232 feet requires only a 5’ Type A bufferyard with no fencing
required.
Variance Requested: The applicant requests a variance to allow the existing building
to remain within the 10’ F-1 Bufferyard area as shown on the plan with no opaque
fence from the northwest corner of the existing building to Brumlow Avenue. An 8 foot
masonry wall is proposed from northeast corner of the existing building for a length of
approximately 70 feet to the east. This covers a length of approximately 275 feet of the
required 360 feet of F-1 Bufferyard area from Brumlow Avenue. The remaining ±317
feet of the north boundary is proposed as a 10’ Bufferyard with F-1 plantings and a
minimum 5’ chain link fence with opaque slats.
b. Plantings should be within the required bufferyard area along the perimeter of the
Case No. Attachment C
ZA20-0026 Page 2
property. The west bufferyard plantings along Brumlow Avenue are being placed east
of the required bufferyard area, between of the existing building and Brumlow Avenue.
(Variance Requested)
2. Provide, show and label a minimum of 2 loading spaces for each contiguous or individual
building. A total of 6 are required with a minimum of 3 being 10’ x 50’ and the remaining 10’ x
25’. These must be outside of a required fire lane. These spaces can be designated on the
interior of a building with overhead doors that are accessible to vehicles.
* The property is currently located within 400’ of a single-family residential property as defined in
Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 43.12; therefore, any proposed development on this site is
subject to the Residential Adjacency Standards as listed in Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section
43.13. The buildings are exempt from the requirements pertaining to building materials,
articulation standards, pitched roof and roofing material requirements by HB 2439, 86th
Legislature. All building materials and methods must comply with applicable building codes.
* Please be aware when submitting for a building permit, any variation from the approved site
plan, elevations and associated plans may require formal approval of a revised site plan.
* All development must comply with the underlying zoning district regulations.
