Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #3 – The Learning Experience Meeting #33 – August 23, 2021 Page 3 ITEM #3 DISCUSSION – Review, discuss and make recommendations on the Learning Experience for a proposed 10,000 square foot day care facility building on approximately 1.136 acres located at 100 River Oaks Drive. Staff presentation: Dennis Killough • Zoning: S-P-2 • Future Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential • Proposed Concept Plan o 10,000 sq. ft. daycare center o 5,000 sq. ft. play area o 50 parking spaces Questions for staff by the Committee: Daniel Kubiak: Looks like this use is consistent with zoning and consistent with prior concept. Is it consistent with the land use plan? Dennis Killough: Future land use plan currently has low density residential on it. S-P-2 is not consistent with that. Inconsistency with zoning. Kathy Talley: Since this is proposed as a daycare/childcare facility, the drop off and pickup will not cause traffic issues onto Southlake Blvd., correct? Dennis Killough: Applicant may be able to speak to that. Applicant presentation: • Drop-off situation - staggered drop off based on age. Parents will walk child in, no major stacking issues. Questions for applicant by the Committee: Amy Torres-Lepp: Entrance to the property is right off Southlake Blvd.? Applicant: Entrance faces River Oaks Dr. and exits onto Southlake Blvd. Austin Reynolds: How many full-time staff will there be during the day? How many students will be on property at one time? Applicant: Maximum student count by code is approx. 190. Austin Reynolds: Parking in that capacity - buffer times - it seems like a lot of kids. Applicant: Typically, they do not have an exact drop-off time. The times are staggered. We can get more details to you. Randy Robbins: What are the hours? Applicant: Potentially open at 7:00 or 8:00 AM and close around 5:00 or 6:00 PM. I can get you the specific hours later. Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee Item #3 – The Learning Experience Meeting #33 – August 23, 2021 Page 4 Daniel Kubiak: I know we’ve seen this proposal before, and it looks like you’ve moved locations based on the feedback from us. Did you have conversations with other property owners in the park? Applicant: Yes, they were supportive. Daniel Kubiak: If this were to move forward, we would not receive lots of negative comments from surrounding neighbors? Applicant: No, you would not. Daniel Kubiak: Are you owning this site? Applicant: Yes Daniel Kubiak: Less than desirable traffic access. Not a special use permit request? Ken Baker: No, this request is to change the zoning and concept/site plan. Daniel Kubiak: So, it is a rezoning? Ken Baker: Drop off and traffic information should be presented at P&Z/CC meetings. Randy Robbins: What was the negative feedback from the other location? And from whom? Applicant: Noise and adjacency. Complaints were from the other office owners in the park. The use was not allowed from the zoning standpoint. The other property was zoned O1, so the others thought it should be on a C2 site. Michael Springer: This is a terrible drive to get out of early in the morning and in the afternoon. Staggers will not help, people will drop-off and pick-up at the same time. One way in and out will be tough for traffic and movement - will be a mess. Daniel Kubiak: Here are some follow-up items – solidify hours of operation, drop-off and pick-up situation, number of kids total. We will want to see the comfort level of other owners through the process. Kathy Talley: Also include how many staff members will be present at one time on property and parking numbers for site to accommodate everyone. Michael Springer: Signage - that is not what you will have correct? Applicant: This is the typical prototype that the business has. Michael Springer: Might want to think of something calmer than that. Daniel Kubiak: Suggest you talk to staff about a variance.
