Re: Zoning Change / Site Plan — 100 W Southlake Blvd.
Dear Mr. Schell:
Phillips Edison & Co., on behalf of Suntree Station, LLC is proposing a partial
redevelopment of Suntree Square Shopping Center, located at 100 West Southlake Blvd.,
on the intersections of Southlake Blvd. (F.M. 1709) and N. White Chapel Blvd. The
proposed redevelopment primarily affects tax parcel no. 07389620 (Tract 2, Lot 4R)
currently occupied by a Texaco gas station and car wash. The proposed redevelopment
will also include minor modifications to tax parcel no. 07389620 (Tract 1, Lot 2R1),
which includes the anchor grocery store and associated retail development. The proposed
development will replace the existing gas station and car wash with a new drive-thru
restaurant and retail building. Existing water and sewer connections will be utilized
where possible but anticipate additional utilites to be installed in order to service the
restaurant use. Additional fire lane pavement will be installed.
REQUEST DETAILS:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zoning Change to S-P-2 Detailed Site Plan
District with C-3 General Commercial District uses for the development of Lot 2R1 and
Lot 4R. The development will consist two (2) lots which will include the existing retail
and grocery store anchor buildings along the back portion of the site, and the proposed
retail/restaurant building as well as all other components as shown on the submitted site
plan. Parking has been dispersed around the site. A variance has been requested to allow
a reduced parking ratio for the site plan. The existing site previously obtained a parking
variance to allow for 350 parking spaces be provided for the site. This would equate to a
parking ratio of 1 parking space per 279 sf. The proposed site will have a total parking
count of 376 parking spaces. This will provide a parking ratio of 1 parking space per 273
sf. The maximum permissible square footage for the restaurant located on lot 4R will be
2,100 square feet. The site has been oriented to try and maintain as much of the existing
vegetation along Southlake Blvd. and White Chapel Blvd. Tree preservation along this
corridor was emphasized to preserve the existing canopy coverage.
The S-P-2 Generalized Site Plan District zoning is proposed to allow any use permitted in
the C-3 General Commercial District with exception and addition to the uses listed in the
submitted zoning document. Specific development details for the property is listed in the
proposed S-P-2 zoning document which is included in Attachment `A', pages 2-3 of this
document.
Thank you and please call if you have any comments or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Clay Cristy, PE
