BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Marriage Today
APPLICANT: Parkhill
PROPERTY SITUATION: Generally located southeast of the intersection of E. Kirkwood Blvd. and
Grace Ln.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 1, Block 1 (shown as Lots 1A and 1B by Tarrant Appraisal District),
Gateway Church – 114 Campus
LAND USE CATEGORY: Public/Semi-Public with EC-R, Employment Center Residential; EC-1,
Employment Center 1; and EC-2, Employment Center 2 optional Land
Use Overlay Designations.
CURRENT ZONING: “NR-PUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District.
PROPOSED ZONING: “NR-PUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District (see
ZA21-0031).
HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1957.
- “NR-PUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District and a
Concept Plan were approved June 17, 1997.
- A Zoning Change and Concept Plan (ZA05-112) for Gateway Church to
allow religious institutions as a permitted use along with multi-level
parking garages as a permitted accessory use on a 90 acre parcel within
the NRPUD district labeled as Parcel ‘B’ and ‘E’ on the proposed concept
plan was approved August 21, 2007. A Preliminary Plat (ZA05-113) was
also approved.
- A Final Plat (Z07-115) was approved by P&Z May 5, 2008.
- A Site Plan (ZA08-022) for Gateway Church for a 206,246 square foot
church building and a 4,700 square foot physical plant on 81.82 acres
was approved June 3, 2008.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the entire 82 acre Gateway
Church and proposed XO Marriage Center site is Public/Semi-Public with
EC-R, Employment Center Residential; EC-1, Employment Center 1; and
EC-2, Employment Center 2 optional Land Use Overlay Designations.
Public/Semi-Public
Purpose and Definition: Public/Semi-Public areas are suitable for a wide
range of public, civic, and religious uses, such as government offices and
facilities, public and private schools, churches and related facilities
(including parsonage and parochial schools), cemeteries, and Public
Parks/Open Space uses in conjunction with these developments. The
current “NR-PUD” zoning on the property allows “O-1” and “O-2” uses in
Case No. Attachment A
ZA21-0051 Page 2
Parcel ‘B’, so an amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is not
required.
Employment Center 1 (EC-1)
Purpose and Definition: The EC-1
category is intended for the highest
intensity of commercial and
employment uses immediately
adjacent to S.H. 114. This land use
category should be applied to
properties that have significant
frontage along the highway, have
limited development constraints,
and are largely undeveloped or underdeveloped. For optimal
development opportunities, properties in the EC-1 land use category
should have a minimum contiguous frontage of 1,200 feet. The EC-1 land
use category shall be a maximum of 700 feet in depth (as measured from
the R-O-W of S.H. 114). The EC-1 land use category has to be applied in
conjunction with the EC-2 and EC-R land use categories to provide for
compatible transitions to adjoining neighborhoods. As a percentage of the
entire EC land use.
Employment Center 2 (EC-2)
Purpose and Definition: The Employment Center 2 (EC-2) is intended
for a medium intensity mix of uses that transition from EC-1 or S.H. 114
to EC-R or lower intensity residential neighborhoods. This land use
category would be applied to properties that may have significant frontage
along the highway, have limited development constraints, and are largely
undeveloped or underdeveloped.
Employment Residential (EC-R)
Purpose and Definition: The Employment Center Residential (EC-R)
designation is intended for low-intensity, predominantly residential
neighborhoods. This land use category should be applied to properties
that have significant development constraints such as wetlands, creeks,
floodplains, water bodies, steep grades, and woodlands and are largely
undeveloped or underdeveloped. This category is intended for properties
adjacent to existing neighborhoods, open space, or as buffers from
environmentally sensitive areas. Very limited non-residential uses (office,
retail, and civic) may be permitted at key street intersections and shall be
designed to an appropriate neighborhood scale.

S.H 114 Corridor Plan
The following recommendations are
for the LU #7 Geographical Area in
the S.H. 114 Corridor Plan.
• Retain existing Mixed Use and
Public/Semi-Public Land Use
designations and add Multi-
Tenant Office Overlay on the
undeveloped portion along S.H.
114 as indicated on the Overlay
Map.
• Office development should
consist of moderately-scaled buildings with a high degree of design
quality with amenities at major corners and features such as
structured or underground parking. Buildings should lessen in height
closer to Kirkwood Blvd. corridor.
• Office development near Highland St. should be limited to building
size and scale which is compatible with adjacent single-family
residential and preserves the maximum amount of green space on the
site. Buffer should be established between existing and future
residential uses and any planned office uses.
• Future development should be approved in a manner that is sensitive
to potential impacts on adjacent residential areas, particularly as
related to noise, traffic, building heights, lighting and views.
• Area is also appropriate for medical development consistent with
overlay description, and educational facilities as recommended in the
Economic Development Master Plan.
• Future development on the Chesapeake site should incorporate
existing wetlands and creek. Evaluate the water intake from Town
Square and reduce impact on downstream flood plain.
• Any development should be walkable and pedestrian friendly and
should explore opportunities to interconnect adjacent properties
particularly to the north through a trail system.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows a future <8’ sidewalk along the south
side of E. Kirkwood Blvd. A 5’ wide sidewalk is required to be constructed
with the extension of the eastbound Kirkwood Blvd. lanes to the east
property line. A 5’ sidewalk is also required along the east side of Grace
Ln. The required sidewalks are shown on the Site Plan.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA21-0051 Page 4
Traffic Impact
A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for the project. One driveway is
proposed on Grace Lane and one driveway is proposed on E. Kirkwood
Blvd. The existing eastbound lanes for E. Kirkwood Blvd. do not extend
to the proposed driveway location. The lanes are required to be extended
to the east property line before E. Kirkwood Blvd. reduces back to two
lanes.

TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Grace Ln. and E. Kirkwood Blvd.
to be four-lane divided arterials with 100’ of right of way. Grace Ln. was
approved as an 80’ right of way with the previous “NR-PUD” zoning case.
Adequate right of way has been previously dedicated for both streets.
Kirkwood Blvd is constructed from Kimball Avenue to Highland Avenue;
however, only the portion of this roadway near the Gateway Church
entrance and the Middle School have been widened to the ultimate 4 lane
divided section. Completion of Kirkwood Blvd to a 4 lane divided roadway
section from Kimball Avenue to Highland Avenue is anticipated to occur
in conjunction with the ultimate buildout of the Gateway Church
campus. Staff will be evaluating construction cost and timing on this
roadway project and based on this evaluation may recommend inclusion
of the project in a future Capital Improvements Program plan. The City
Engineer will evaluate the rough proportional impact of the X and O office
development on the adjacent roadway system and will make a
determination if the applicant is responsible for constructing a portion of
Kirkwood Boulevard as shown on the site plan in conjunction with the
construction of the office building.
TREE PRESERVATION: The proposed preservation of the existing cover complies with the
Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation
Ordinance 585-E. There is 19% of existing trees cover on the site, and a
minimum of 70% of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved.
The applicant is proposing to preserve 73.7% of the existing tree cover.
UTILITIES: The property is served by an existing 8” water line in Grace Ln. and
sanitary sewer will be extended from an existing 8” sanitary sewer line to
the south in the Gateway Church lot to serve the property.
DRAINAGE: Drainage is generally west to east across the property to an existing
drainage/detention channel along the east property line.
CITIZEN INPUT: A SPIN meeting for XO Marriage Center (ZA21-0031) was held on April
27, 2021.
