PROJECT: Site Plan for Verizon EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Halff Associates, on behalf of Verizon, is requesting approval of a site plan revision
on property described as Lot 1A, Block 1 of the Solana Addition, City of Southlake,
Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 500 W. Dove Road, Southlake, Texas.
Current Zoning: “NRPUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District.
SPIN Neighborhood #1.
DETAILS: The property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of W. Dove Road
and W. Kirkwood Boulevard. The purpose of this request is to seek site plan
approval by updating and reconfiguring the existing chiller plant and enclosure to
provide for improved operation of the air-cooled chiller units. The existing
configuration consists of 4 units running perpendicular to the fire lane. The proposed
configuration consists of 5 units running parallel to the fire lane with more separation
between each unit. The enclosure will be expanded to accommodate the revised
layout with the materials and column spacing to match the existing screening
design.
Due to this modification, the applicant is having to make modifications to the
landscaped areas. However, the applicant is proposing to meet the landscape
requirements within the site.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
2) Consider Approval

SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The Southlake 2035 Future Land Use Plan designates this property as
Mixed Use.
Mixed use is to provide an option for large‐scale, master‐planned, mixed
use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities,
shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses.
The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the
varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category
necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated
development. New development must be compatible with and not
intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be
placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the
Mixed Use designation is intended for medium‐ to higher‐intensity office
buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential
uses. Nuisance‐free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly
uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be
compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those
permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi‐Public, Low
Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and
Office Commercial categories previously discussed.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Pathway Master Plan and Sidewalk Plan indicate a minimum of an
8-foot sidewalk located off West Dove, a maximum of an 8-foot sidewalk
on Kirkwood Boulevard, and a future minimum of 8-feet or greater multi-
use path on SH 114. Both sidewalks located on Dove Road and Kirkwood
Boulevard are installed. However, the multi-use path is not installed, and
the applicant does not indicate in their proposed plans.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The mitigation trees proposed to be planted on the north side of the rear access drive are
shown to be planted within a narrow area which I think is on a slope, has an existing
sidewalk, and is partially heavily wooded. Two (2) of the trees are shown to be planted
within parking spaces.
* There are existing protected trees and required development landscape trees proposed
to be removed. The removal of the existing protected trees and development landscape
trees are proposed to be mitigated by planting thirty-nine (39) six-inch (6”) caliper trees,
equaling a total of 234”.
* No additional building square footage is proposed so no additional interior and
bufferyards landscaping is required.
* Indicates informational comment.

PUBLIC WORKS/ENGINEERING REVIEW
GENERAL COMMENTS:
* It appears that the water easement bump out for the water meters was is not dedicated in
the correct location. As currently shown, the water meters are located outside of the
easement and the proposed chillers are encroaching into the easement which would
require an encroachment agreement that will need to be approved by City Council. To
eliminate the need for an encroachment agreement and to place the easement where it
should be, an amended plat should be submitted to Planning for approval. This is an
administrative process and would not be required to go to City Council. The amended plat
or encroachment agreement shall be approved prior to receiving issuance of the building
permit.
