EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of Lonesome Dove Baptist Church, Kirkman Engineering is requesting

abut the Emerald Estates subdivision and the north property line abuts the
Lonesome Dove Cemetery.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Plan to allow an approximately
13,893 square foot worship building with 376 seats to be added on the property.
The Site Data Summary Chart is below.

VARIANCES
REQUESTED: 1) Driveway Ord. No. 634, as amended, Section 5.2.d requires a minimum
stacking depth of 75’. A variance is requested to allow a stacking depth of
approximately 40’ for all three driveways. A variance was approved with the
previous site plan (ZA99-009) to allow a stacking depth of ±40’ on all three drives.
Reapproval of the variance is required since the existing use of the driveway is
projected to increase in actual or proposed daily design hour volume by 20% or
more.
Case No.
ZA21-0093
2) Driveway Ord. No. 634, as amended, Section 5.1 requires a minimum throat
width of 24’. A variance is requested to allow the existing throat width of 17’4” for
the center driveway to remain. A variance to allow the 17’4” throat width was
approved with the previous site plan in 1999. Reapproval of the variance is
required since the existing use of the driveway is projected to increase in actual
or proposed daily design hour volume by 20% or more.
3) Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 33.19 requires a 5’ sidewalk to be
constructed along Lonesome Dove Ave. at the time of construction. A variance
is requested to allow no sidewalk to be constructed along Lonesome Dove Ave.
4) Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 39.6.a requires an 8’ solid fence to be
constructed where the non-residential use abuts the residentially zoned lots to
the west and south. A variance is requested to allow the existing fences and
vegetation to remain. The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance
(ZBA-313) to the fence requirement in 1999. Reapproval of the variance is
required since the previously approved variance was based on the plot plan
presented at the time. The Zoning Ordinance was amended in 2000 to give City
Council the authority to grant a variance to the screening requirements for non-
residential uses where they abut residentially zoned lots or tracts or lots having
an occupied residential dwelling.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing
2) Consider approval of a Site Plan

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON
12/29/21 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 Site Plan must conform to the underlying zoning district and the plat.
2. Place the City case number “ZA21-0093" in the lower right corner of all plans for ease of
reference.
3. Please make the following change to the Site Plan (C2.0):
a. Show and label the side and rear building setback lines in accordance with the current
“CS” Community Service District zoning. The required side setback on the north property
line is 15’.
4. On the landscape plans, show and label the width and type of bufferyards along the west and
south boundaries as they are shown and labeled on the Site Plan.
* The following informational comments pertain to the requirements in Driveway Ordinance No.
634, as amended).
* All three driveways do not meet the minimum required stacking depth of 75’. A variance
was approved with the previous site plan (ZA99-009) to allow a stacking depth of ±40’
on all three drives. The required stacking depth based on the number of parking spaces
shown on the previously plan was 50’. A variance to stacking depth must be approved
again with the current request due to the increase in the building area and the number
of parking spaces. A variance is requested to allow a stacking depth of ±40’ on all three
drives.
* The center driveway does not meet the minimum required driveway throat width of 24’.
A width of approximately 17’4” is shown. A variance was approved with the previous site
plan (ZA99-009). A variance to throat width must be approved again with the current
request due to the increase in the building area and the number of parking spaces. A
variance is requested.
Case No. Attachment C
ZA21-0093 Page 2
* Per Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 33.19, a 5’ sidewalk is required along
Lonesome Dove Rd. A variance is requested to allow no sidewalk to be constructed.
* A minimum 8’ screening device meeting the requirements of Ordinance 480, Section 39 is
required along all boundaries abutting residential property. The Zoning Board of Adjustment
granted a variance to this requirement in 1999 at the time the previous site plan was being
processed (ZBA-313). The addition of the new sanctuary building requires reapproval of a
variance to the screening requirement since the Zoning Board of Adjustment approval was
based on the site plan being processed at the time. A variance is requested to allow the existing
fencing and vegetation to remain as is.
* The required construction materials in Masonry Ordinance No. 557-A, Section 1.b and the
masonry requirements in Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 43, Residential
Adjacency Standards, Sections 43.13.a.1 appear to not be met on each elevation. A variance
to the Masonry Ordinance and to the masonry requirements in the Residential Adjacency
Standards would typically be required, but these requirements are exempted by HB 2439 of 86th
Legislature of the State of Texas. All materials must meet applicable building codes.
* All lighting must comply with the Lighting Ordinance No. 693, as amended with regard to type
of lighting, intensity, glare and spill-over.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Please provide the existing tree cover calculations on the Tree Conservation Plan. The
existing tree cover calculations consist of the total percentage of existing tree cover on the
property, the total percentage of existing tree cover proposed to be removed, and the total
percentage of existing tree cover proposed to be preserved.

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.

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:
1. The proposed building exceeds both 30% of the floor area of the existing building and 5,000
square feet. New construction greater in size than 30% of the existing building or greater than
5,000 square feet shall require compliance with the Landscape Ordinance as it applies to the
entire square footage of the existing building and proposed addition, and compliance with the
Bufferyards Regulations within the Zoning Ordinance – Section 42. The plant quantities in the
Interior Landscape and Bufferyard Summary Charts indicate compliance with the current
landscape requirements.
2. A variance is requested to allow the existing fences and vegetation to remain along the south
and west property lines. There is no fence requirement with a Type C bufferyard, so remove “8’
wood fence” from the south and west required and provided rows in the Bufferyard Summary
Chart.

10’ Type ‘C’, East – none required, North – none required, South – 10’ Type ‘C’.
4. The proposed parking landscape islands in the northwest corner toward the north end of the
proposed rear parking are smaller than 12’ wide. Parking lot islands shall have a minimum width
of 12’ back-to-back if curbed or 13’ edge-to-edge if no curb is intended and shall be equal to the
length of the parking stall.
5. 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. Turf grass
is not allowed in parking planter islands. Planter islands which have light poles for lighting the
parking areas may substitute two (2) understory/accent trees for the required canopy tree.
