CASE NO: ZBA22-0008
PROJECT: 220 Players Circle Variance to Rear Yard Setback
EXECUTIVE Joshua Berger of Berger Equity Group is requesting approval of a Variance to
SUMMARY: Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 22.5(d), requiring a rear yard of ten (10)
feet on property described as Players Circle Addition, Lot 6, an addition to the City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 220 Players Circle, Southlake,
Tarrant County, Texas.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to Ordinance No. 480, as
amended, Section 22.5(d), requiring a rear yard of ten (10) feet to allow a portion of a
commercial building that encroaches approximately three (3) feet into the setback in
error to remain.
The Site Plan adopted May 5, 2022, reflects a 10' rear yard setback on the south side
of the building. Architectural Plans reviewed by staff in July of 2020 also showed this
correct setback of 10'. However, Civil Engineering plans incorrectly showed a 7'3"
setback. The building was ultimately built with the 7'3" setback in error.
This item was tabled at the May 26, 2022 regular meeting.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing.
2) Consider approval of the requested Variance.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Berger Equity Group
220 Players Circle
Players Circle Addition, Lot 6
Commercial Retail
C-3 — General Commercial
HISTORY: - City Council placed the "C-3" zoning on a portion of the property with
adoption of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480 on September 19,
1989.
- On April 19, 2005, City Council approved a Zoning Change and Concept
Plan and a Preliminary Plat for this and other lots within Players Circle (ZA05-
010 and ZA05-011)
- A Final Plat (ZA05-084) was approved by the Planning & Zoning
Commission on September 8, 2005.
- A Site Plan (ZA20-0014) was approved by City Council May 5, 2020.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Board may grant a variance from the literal enforcement of the zoning
ordinance:
a. Where the spirit of the ordinance is observed and substantial justice is
done;
b. Where the Board finds that granting the variance will not be contrary to
the public interest, and;
c. Where, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the
provisions of this ordinance would result in "unnecessary hardship."
A hardship is considered "unnecessary" where the applicant demonstrates:
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to
the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to
other lands, structures or buildings in the same district;
2. That the literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance
deprives the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties
in the same district;
3. That the special conditions and circumstances that exist are not the
result of the actions of the applicant;
4. That the granting of this variance does not confer on the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by the zoning ordinance to other lands,
structures or buildings in the same district;
5. That the reasons stated in the application justify granting the variance
and that the variance will be the minimum necessary to make possible
the reasonable use of the land, building or structure, and
6. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and will not be injurious to
the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

State the SPECIFIC PROVISION of the zoning ordinance for which you are requesting a
variance. (You may give the Section number and paragraph, OR you may DESCRIBE the
REGULATION 1 REQUIREMENT.)
Change West side Property Set back from 10' to 7'
1
Describe EXACTLY HOW, and TO WHAT EXTENT your request will DIFFER from the
REQUIREMENTS of the ordinance, as described ABOVE. (Use REVERSE, or additional sheets
if necessary.)
Propertx has a 10' set back requesting to change. it to a T only on west side
In order for your request to be granted, the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board of
Adjustment voting in favor of the request shall be necessary.
In order for the Board members to vote in support of your application, you must prove several
things by your application.
Your application must clearly show that your property has UNIQUE CONDITIONS and
CIRCUMSTANCES which separate it from other typical properties with the same zoning; and
explain how these unique conditions and circumstances make it UNREASONABLE or UNFAIR
to apply the STANDARD ordinance requirements to YOUR property, unlike the way they are
applied to all other properties.
Describe the CONDITIONS and CIRCUMSTANCES which are UNIQUE to your property and
situation:
Building plans and civil plans both showed different building locations that were approved
.............................................................................................
The difference is the building on the civil plans sits back to the west 2'8" more the on the building plans
...................................................................................................
The distance from the property line to the building is 7'2" and per the set back it should have
been 10'
...................................................................................................
Explain why these unique conditions and circumstances make it UNREASONABLE or UNFAIR
to apply the STANDARD ordinance requirements to your property:
i►
The building is now built and moving the building is not an option. Had we or the city caught this
upfront we would have moved the building to conform with the setback.
................................................................................................
Additionally, in order for the Board members to vote in support of your application it must be
shown that the unique conditions and circumstances which you have described are NOT the
result of your own actions. (Actions taken by previous owners and actions taken by your agents
can be construed as "Your actions.")
Can you explain how the unique conditions and circumstances affecting your property came to
be, AND SHOW that they ARE NOT the result of YOUR OWN ACTIONS:
The civil engineer made a mistake by placing the building in the set back. The city did however approve
the plans that were submitted.
Furthermore, the Board must be satisfied that the variance you are requesting is the MINIMUM
deviation from the terms of the ordinance NECESSARY to OVERCOME the unique conditions
and circumstances which you have described.
Explain how your proposal is the MINIMUM manner by which the unique conditions and
circumstances described can be overcome:
3
We are only asking for a variance of T to change the set back from 1 O' to 7'.
Also, the Board must be convinced that granting such a variance would not constitute an
UNFAIR GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE to you, granting privileges that are otherwise denied
by the ordinance.
In other words, why would granting this variance be ONLY FAIR, and NOT MORE THAN FAIR,
to you, since others are prevented from doing what you are requesting:
....................................................................................................
This was a mistake made by the engineer and the city for approving the plans as they were submitted
Finally, the Board must be certain your request is in harmony with the public welfare, and will
not in any way be injurious or detrimental to your neighbors and their property rights.
EXPIRATION OF GRANTED REQUEST.
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT RULES OF PROCEDURE, Section 7.1
Any special exception or variance granted or authorized by the Board shall authorize the
issuance of a building permit and/or a Certificate of Occupancy, as the case may be, for a
period of one year from the date of the favorable action of the Board unless said Board shall
have in its action approved a different period of time and has so shown such specific period of
4
time in the minutes of its action. If the building permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy shall not
have been applied for within said one year period or such extended period as the Board may
have specifically granted, then the special exception or variance shall be deemed to have been
waived and all rights thereunder terminated. All applications for a request which have been
denied shall be deemed to be denied with prejudice unless stated otherwise in the Board's
written decision.
YOUR RIGHTS TO APPEAL THE BOARD'S DECISION.
