PROJECT: Zoning Change and Site Plan for USPI All Star Medical Office
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of All Star MOB, LLC, E4H Architecture is requesting 2nd reading
approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan for USPI All Star Medical Office on
property described as Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Tower Plaza, an addition to the City
of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 905 and 925 E. Southlake
Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District.
Requested Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #9.
DETAILS: The property is located at the southwest corner of E. Southlake Blvd. and
Tower Blvd., north of Zena Rucker Rd.
A Zoning Change and Site Plan (ZA15-139) for Tower Plaza that included a
two-story, 43,000 square foot medical center/hospital on the southern portion of
the property (Building 1) and one two-story, 25,000 square foot office building
along E Southlake Blvd. (Building 2) was approved by City Council March 1,
2016.
A Zoning Change and Site Plan (ZA16 -038) to increase the size of the
southernmost building (Building 1) from 43,000 square feet to 46,735 square
feet and to add seven (7) parking spaces to the site was approved by City
Council on June 7, 2016.
The purpose of this request is to seek 2nd Reading approval of a Zoning
Change and Site Plan to revise the elevations of the previously approved
Building 2. This item was tabled at the June 4, 2020 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting so that the applicant could revise the elevations and
renderings based on feedback from the Commission. The applicant presented
revised elevations and renderings to the 2035 Corridor Planning Committee on
June 24, 2020 and those plans were approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on August 6, 2020. A request to increase the gross floor area of
the previously approved Building 2 from 25,000 square feet to approximately
25,201 square feet was also presented at the June 4, 2020 Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting. The proposed floor area was reduced to
approximately 23,569 square feet on the Site Plan presented at the August 6,
2020 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The reduction in floor area
from the previously approved plans for Building 2 does not require approval of a
Zoning Change and Site by City Council following a recomm endation by the
Planning and Zoning Commission, so the purpose of the Zoning Change and
Site Plan is only to revise the elevations and renderings.
Case No.
ZA20-0027
No changes to the previously approved “S-P-1” permitted uses and
development regulations or to the existing Building 1 are proposed and all
previous conditions of approval remain in effect .
The City Council approved the item at 1st Reading on August 18, 2020 with the
following condition:
City Council 1st Reading Applicant’s Response
Approved as presented with the
brass color canopy option at
the front entrance.
There have been no revisions to the plans. The exhibit that
shows the brass canopy option at the front entrance is included
in the plan set and in the presentation.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing
2) Consider 2nd Reading approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan
