BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: GMI
APPLICANT: Claymoore Engineering
PROPERTY SITUATION: 2450 Crooked Lane, Southlake, Texas
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 11E, Thomas Easter Survey Abstract No. 474, an addition to the City
of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas
LAND USE CATEGORY: Mixed Use
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District
PROPOSED ZONING: “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District
HISTORY: The “AG” Agricultural District zoning was approved with the adoption of
the Zoning Ordinance No 480 and the official Zoning Map on September
19, 1989.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Future Land Use Plan
The site is designated “Mixed Use”.
Purpose and Definition: To provide an option for large-scale, master-
planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office
facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. The 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.

Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan
The property is also included in the
Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan. The Future
Land Use designation was changed from
Low Density Residential to Mixed Use in
2012 as a result of the recommendations in
that plan.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows S. Nolen Drive. to be a
3-lane undivided arterial with 70-foot of right of way. The future Village
Center Drive location will be north of the property and connect to S. Nolen
Drive and S. Kimball Avenue; it is planned as a 2-lane undivided collector
with 60’ of right of way. The property will not have direct access to Crooked
Lane, a 2-lane local street with a 60-foot right-of-way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
There are currently no sidewalks along Crooked Lane or S. Nolen Drive of
the subject property. The Pathways Master Plan indicates a 6-foot wide
sidewalk on both the west side of S. Nolen Drive and the west side of
Crooked Lane.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The site will be accessed by a main driveway entrance at S. Nolen Drive.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* The proposed sidewalk along may Crooked Lane conflict with the preservation of protected within
the right-of-way.
* Under traditional zoning the proposed preservation of the existing tree cover would not comply
with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-
E. There is 42.7% of existing tree cover across the property and 50% of the existing tree cover
would be required to be preserved. 74.4% of the existing tree canopy cover is proposed to be
removed and 25.6% proposed to be preserved.
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.

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 make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the
application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds that the Plan
or Analysis provides for the:
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 Street Typology designation; and
vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to this
Ordinance.
* 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.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
* The applicant is requesting a variance to not provide the required 10’ – F1 bufferyard along the
north property line of the proposed phase 1 portion of the development. The property line is shown
to be within the centerline of the proposed access drive.
1. The amount of canopy trees within the Phase 1, East 2, South, and West bufferyards do not
match the “Required” and “Provided” amounts in the Bufferyards Summary Chart calculations. If
existing tree credits are being taken please provide this information in the chart.
2. There are clearly more trees shown in the interior landscape design for Phase 1 than shown to be
provided in the interior landscape calculations. Update the “Provided” section of the Interior
Landscape Summary Chart to reflect the amount of landscape plant material shown to be
provided within the interior landscape design. The amount of plant material shown in the design
should match the amounts shown in the Interior Landscape and Bufferyards Summary Charts, and
plant material quantities in the Plant List.
Case No. Attachment C
ZA20-0040 Page 1
3. The parking landscape islands contain the required trees but do not contain the other required
plant material. All parking planter islands in parking areas shall contain a minimum of one (1)
canopy tree with the remaining area in shrubs, ground cover, ornamental grasses or seasonal
color. Planter islands which have light poles for lighting the parking areas may substitute two (2)
understory/accent trees for the required canopy tree. This applies to the landscape area at the
ends of all rows of parking spaces.
4. Delineate which landscaping is planted towards meeting the requirements for the interior
landscaping and towards the bufferyards landscaping.
5. The Phase 2 interior landscape calculations are incorrect. When an I-1 zoned property has
building floor areas 10,000 S.F. or greater, the amount of required interior landscape area is
based on 15% of the building floor areas instead of 20%.
