BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Noorneel, LLC
APPLICANT: Ward Architecture PLLC
PROPERTY SITUATION: 751 and 771 E. Southlake Blvd
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 9, O.W. Knight No. 899 Addition
LAND USE CATEGORY: Retail Commercial and Office Commercial
CURRENT ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District.
REQUESTED ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District.
HISTORY: - On May 5, 1998 the City Council approved a Zoning Change and Site
Plan from “AG” Agricultural District to “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District
with “O-1” Office District Uses under Planning Case ZA98-006.
- On November 20, 1998 a Plat Showing was filed with Tarrant County
under Planning Case ZA98-007 reflecting the improvements and
approvals of the site plan for the property.
- On April 7, 2015, City Council approved a Zoning Change and Site Plan
(ZA14-149) from “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District to “S-P-1” Detailed
Site Plan District to revise the building elevations on the existing two
buildings on the property from a brick façade to a combination of the
existing brick, stucco and stone veneer façade and adding a total of 17
parking spaces to the 55 approved parking spaces for the site.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designations for the site are Retail
Commercial and Office Commercial.
Retail Commercial:
Purpose and Definition: The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to
medium-intensity commercial category providing for neighborhood-type
retail shopping facilities and general commercial support activities. It is
intended to provide limited local retail and/or office uses which serve
neighborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this
category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby
maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This
category is intended to encourage comprehensively planned
developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial designation is
adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential
designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as
office or office-related uses should be planned adjacent to the
residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial
categories previously discussed.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA20-0041 Page 2
Office Commercial:
Purpose and Definition: The Office Commercial category is a
commercial category designed and intended for the exclusive use of
office and limited office-related activities. It is established for and will be
allocated to those districts best suited for supporting commercial activity
of an office character. It has been established to encourage and permit
general professional and business offices of high quality and
appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of
uses and design exterior appearance so controlled as to be generally
compatible with existing and future adjacent and surrounding residential
development. Properties with this designation may serve as a transition
between established residential neighborhoods, major roadways, and
retail development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public categories previously
discussed.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
Eight (8) foot wide multi-use trails are existing along E. Southlake Blvd.
and the south side of Zena Rucker Rd. A 5’ sidewalk is existing along
the north side of Zena Rucker Rd. The existing multi-use trails and
sidewalk conform to the Master Pathways Plan.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: The development shares a common access driveway onto E. Southlake
Blvd. with Zelda Offices to the east and a driveway connection to Zena
Rucker Rd. to the south will be constructed with the future development
of Lot 3, Block A, Zelda Offices. The property also has cross access to
an additional driveway connection to E. Southlake Blvd. through the
developments to the west. Both existing driveways onto E. Southlake
Blvd. are right-in right-out only with no median break.
Traffic Impact
* Vehicle Trips Per Day
* AM-In, AM-Out, PM-In and PM-Out are peak hour generators on a weekday
* Based on the ITE: Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition
TREE PRESERVATION: There is approximately 20% tree coverage on this site and 97% of the
existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved. The “S-P-1” zoning
district does not require the applicant to preserve any minimum amount
of tree cover, but rather the Tree Conservation Plan is subject to City
Council approval.
For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a
planned development zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-
2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation, Planned Unit Development,
or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider the
application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the
corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0).
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the application and

i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets,
and utility easements so as to maximize the preservation of
environmental features of the property including mature tree
stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades;
ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas
indicated on the Environmental Resource Protection Map;
iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the
potential to buffer residential areas from the noise, glare, and
visual effects of nonresidential uses;
iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a
natural or man-made drainage creek;
v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural
roadways and other streets as identified and prioritized in the

perpendicular from the property line to the closest points on the addition. A form board
survey will be required prior to pouring the foundation. Ensure that the building is not
encroaching into the 10’ Drainage and Utility Easement and 10’ setback along the west
