SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation is 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.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Zena Rucker Rd. to
be a two-lane undivided collector 60’ of right of way. Adequate right of
way has previously been dedicated.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows an existing 8’ multi-use trail along the
south side of Zena Rucker Rd. and extending south from the east property
line of the lot. The existing 8’ trail along the east property line is proposed
to be removed with removal of the retention pond, so a review comment
has been added to show and label an 8’ multi-use trail extending from the
existing trail along Zena Rucker Rd. to the south property line.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The development shows two driveways onto Zena Rucker Rd. Zena is
currently a two- lane undivided collector adjacent to the site. No traffic
counts are available for this section of Zena Rucker Rd.

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON
09/3/21 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY
MADE CONDITIONS OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE
CONTACT RICHARD SCHELL AT (817) 748-8602.
1. The Concept/Site Plan must conform to the underlying zoning district.
2. Please make the following changes to the Concept/Site Plan:
a. Revise the title to Concept/Site Plan instead of Site Plan.
b. Staff recommends removing the percentage of uses on each building and just labeling
them as Medical/General Office so that the percentage of uses is calculated for the site
as a whole and not per each building unless that is what is intended.
c. Please check the lot area that you are showing because the plat shows the lot area to
be 98,104 square feet, or 2.2522 acres.
d. Correct the construction end date year to 2022.
3. The Master Pathways Plan shows an existing 8’ multi-use trail along the south side of Zena
Rucker Rd. and extending south from the east property line of the lot. Correct the width of the
existing 8’ trail along Zena Rucker Rd. A 5’ sidewalk is shown on the plans. Show and label an
8’ multi-use trail extending from the existing trail along Zena Rucker Rd. to the south property
line.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The proposed preservation of the existing tree cover does not comply with the Existing Tree
Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance if the zoning change was
to the “O-1” Office District. There is 10.1% of existing tree cover on the property and a minimum
of 70% of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved. A maximum of 63.3% of the existing
tree cover is proposed to be preserved per the “S-P-2” zoning.
* 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.
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 Pla nning 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
Case No. Attachment C
ZA21-0072 Page 3
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 Ordinan ce 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.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The required backflow protection (double check valve) for the sprinkler systems can be located
on the riser if the riser is within 100 feet of the water main, measured linearly along the length
of the pipe. If the riser is further than 100 feet from the main, the double check valve shall be in
a vault. Riser rooms shall be a minimum of 5’X5’ if the double check is located in a vault, or a
minimum of 6’X6’ if it is located on the riser. (Both buildings appear to have the riser located
where the total linear length of pipe is slightly in excess of 100 feet from the city water main,
which would require an underground vault for the double check valves)
