Presentation: SOUTHLAKE TOWN SQUARE BLOCK 16, LOT 2 �I� III III � "irlpull411,1fG SITE PLAN bI Y{I�V CORNER RESTAURANT 500 RESERVE ST. Formal Submittal May 23, 2022 ' f ExistingAerial partners OVERVIEW • Cooper & Company is seeking approval of a Site Plan for Block 16, Lot 2, to allow development of a new single -story restaurant and outdoor patio on the northwest corner of Reserve St. and Division St. in Southlake Town Square. • Civil engineering and Landscape Architecture for the Site Plan is being provided by Pacheco Koch. The design architect for the building is Bennett Partners. • The proposed up to 6,185 sq. ft. restaurant is smaller than the 7,000 sq. ft. building allowed under the approved Development Plan for Block 16. An optional elimination of the western bay of the building would reduce building size to approximately 5,170 sq. ft. • A 50% shared parking reduction is requested due to agreements in place by which adjacent structured parking is shared, including: (1) daily availability of short-term parking on the first floor of the garage; and (2) public use of upper floors of the garage on nights, weekends and holidays. • The Site Plan conforms to the approved Development Plan for Block 16. Art Deco exterior architecture of the new restaurant meets the Design Guidelines for new buildings in Southlake Town Square. mAomo a C - 00IA���� _i] ooa©ice® BLOCK 16, LOM 8 11 11111 11111 I �• d �. 1`��• �hll�lll -- 7A22-O025 bennett BUILDING ELEVATIONS BLOCKY` "°R"" aa ne,� BUILDING DESIGN • The restaurant's Art Deco exterior design is derived from the many traditional, one-story commercial structures developed in the 1920s and 3Os. Fort Worth architect Bennett Partners is the design architect for this building. • The building's facade features a series of bays defined by substantial brick pilasters on either side of the main entry. A canopy cover over the main entry continues east, expanding to wrap the east end of the building to cover an approximately 1,295 sq. ft. corner patio that will provide a new upscale outdoor social space for Southlake Town Square. • The street -facing materials are predominantly brick. A spandrel panel on the western elevation is detailed with a decorative pattern. The main entry facade on Division St. is stucco, with tile accents above. Stucco is used for the pilaster capitals and cornice profile. Rear elevations are stucco, formed to create a series of panels that emulate the main facade. • The proposed building meets the intent of the Downtown District Guidelines. In addition to other Town Square precedents, its design is compatible with neighboring Granite office buildings. The building and patio's placement on the street adds a new point of interest on this highly visible corner location. 5/23/2022 2A22-0025 Architectural Ptan •_— bennett 5/23/2022 eL-16.� 2—U—T partners o 1 .. ..... ..... ..... ■r �, 1 pop�IYi! rpii{I i�YS ��K . � e � - 2A240025 Vim Looking North bennett _ K LIT 21— — r =Partners BLOCK 16, LOT 2 LANDSCAPE PLAN LANDSCAPE PLAN • The Dallas office of Pacheco Koch is leading landscape design for this project. • The Landscape Plan builds on established streetscape precedents throughout Town Square. • A landscaped edge running along the south and east sides of the sidewalk abutting the patio enhances pedestrian safety and improves visibility for nearby traffic. This edge is also designed to complement the series of planters surrounding the patio which add to the landscape interest at this corner. • A small private garden on the north side of the building between the restaurant and Granite Place I provides a quiet interlude between buildings, enhances walkability, and adds visual interest for diners, office workers and other visitors. • An optional landscaped area on the west side of the building may be added if the smaller building option is chosen (thereby eliminating the western bay of the larger building, subject to final selection of the restaurant for this location).

The Site Plan for Block 16 Lot 2 reflects feedback from restaurants who are looking at this location and is a key element of what they feel will help them be successful here. Cooper & Stebbins requests approval of the corner patio design as submitted in the Site Plan, and as an Integral part of the overall building design. As with previous patios in the City ROW of Town Square, the patio applicant will be required to complete an Encroachment and Joint Use Agreement of a Right -Of - Way for the City's consideration, with the patio's use by the restaurant applicant subject to the City's approval and the further execution of a Separate Right -Of -Way Joint Use Agreement executed by the restaurant and the City.

The minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for restaurants under Section 35.6.b(8)(a) is 1 space per each 3 seats under maximum seating arrangement, or 1 space per each 100 square feet of floor area, whichever is greater, subject to DT Zoning provisions including: • Required parking may be located and maintained anywhere within the Downtown District. • When a mixture of office, retail, and other uses are located in the same block or street, parking requirements for such the uses shall be reduced at a rate of ten (10) percent in order to promote shared parking.

Variance Request: Parking (continued) The Block 16 Parking Easement Agreement between the owner of the Garage and the City of Southlake grants the City, and its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the general public a perpetual, non- exclusive right and easement to enter upon and use the Garage for the sole purpose of automobile parking during the specified time periods, and in the designated portions of the Parking Garage, set forth below: Monday — Friday: Ground Level Only - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to max. 2 hours per visit Monday — Friday: Entire Garage — 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays — Entire Garage — Entire 24-hour period A total of 35 parking spaces are allocated to Block 16, Lot 2.

BUILDING A BETTER BLOCK • The Revised Site Plan requested in this application is in harmony with the Downtown Design Guidelines for Town Square including overall site design, design of the building and associated streetscape, material selections, exterior lighting and signage. • The restaurant's design and detailing has prior precedents throughout Town Square and is compatible with surrounding buildings, while at the same time giving this building a strong individual identity. • Building massing and design relates well to surrounding development. Architectural elements, including overhanging canopies and outdoor patio space, help unify the building and site design and provide a human scale to the development. • The proposed development adds to the variety and interest of the area, while strengthening pedestrian connections along Division St., Reserve St., and cross connections to the Southlake Hilton, McPherson Park and beyond. Questions and Concerns: Luis Garcia asked if a specific restaurant was already planning to inhabit the building. Mr. Bliss stated that as of that moment a specific restaurant has not been decided. Mr. Alla asked where the patio would be located. Mr. Bliss stated that the patio would be in the right-of-way and would be asking for a building variance so he could build the patio. Mr. Alla asked what type of restaurant would go into the building. Mr. Bliss stated the restaurants would be family friendly and would be a great addition to Southlake Town Center.
