Southlake Blvd. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 3D, W.R. Eaves Survey Abstract No. 500 LAND USE CATEGORY: Retail-Commercial, Medium Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “C-2” General Commercial District uses and “Nursery” uses. HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1957. - An ~8,000 square foot warehouse was constructed on the site in 1981. - A CO was granted to Green Oaks Tree Farm on December 23, 1981. - The zoning designation of “C-2” General Commercial District was placed on the property with the adoption of Ordinance No. 480 in 1989. - The zoning designation of “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District was placed on the property April 11, 2023 by case number ZA23-0005. - The preliminary plat was approved by City Council on June 20, 2023 by case number ZA23-0037. SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The future land use designations for the site are primarily “Retail- Commercial” and “Medium Density Residential”. Although this site has the Retail Commercial designation on the northern end of the site and the Medium Density Residential land use designation on the southern end, staff finds that the proposed use is consistent with the Land Use Plan. The entire site is currently zoned with “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “C—2” General Commercial District uses and use for a Retail Garden Center. The zoning is aligned with the Land Use Plan as the area within the Medium Density Residential designation will primarily be used for the cultivation of plants, storage of landscape supplies, and as open space. Retail Commercial Purpose and Definition: The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium-intensity commercial category providing for neighborhood-type retail shopping facilities and general commercial support activities. It is intended to provide limited local retail and/or office uses which serve neighborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This category is intended to encourage comprehensively planned developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial designation is adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as office or office-related uses should be planned adjacent to the residential uses. Case No. Attachment A ZA23-0050 Page 2 Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. Medium Density Residential Purpose and Definition: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential land use category is to promote a neighborhood setting primarily comprised of single family detached houses. The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single-family detached residential development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi- Public categories previously discussed. Mobility & MasterThoroughfare Plan The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Southlake Blvd. to be a six-lane divided arterial with 130’ to 140’ of right of way. Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan The Master Pathways Plan shows an existing <8’ multi-use trail along W. Southlake Blvd. This trail is provided for on the Site Plan. TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT: Area Road and Network Conditions The site proposes two primary access drives along W. Southlake Blvd., one being shared with Walgreens. The property will also have two access points to Players Circle and an access point to Peytonville Ave., all via surrounding access easements. W. Southlake Blvd. (F.M. 1709 (between Peytonville & Randoll Mill.) 24hr West Bound (22,770) East Bound (23,516) AM Peak (1,276) 11:45-12:45 AM Peak (2,702) 7:00 – 8:00 AM PM Peak (2,477) 7:00 AM – 5:45 PM Peak (1,428) 4:45 – 5:45 PM * Based on the 2017 City of Southlake Traffic Count Report Traffic Impact: A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was provided by the applicant and was reviewed by Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. (TNP), who have no reservations with the City’s acceptance of the TIA. The study provides that the new development will generate approximately 243 new weekday AM peak hour one-way vehicle trips and 694 new weekday PM peak hour one-way vehicle trips. The only proposed improvement to the roadway is an eastbound right- turn deceleration lane into the west driveway. TREE PRESERVATION: There is 61% of existing tree cover and a minimum of 40% of the existing tree cover would be required to be preserved. The applicant is proposing to preserve a maximum of 37% of the existing tree cover. For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a Case No. Attachment A ZA23-0050 Page 3 planned development zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation, Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds that the Plan or Analysis provides for the: i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so as to maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including mature tree stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades; ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the Environmental Resource Protection Map; iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential to buffer residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of nonresidential uses; iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural or man-made drainage creek; v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other streets as identified and prioritized in the Street Typology designation; and vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to this Ordinance. UTILITIES: A 12” water line exists along the north boundary of the property. An 8” sewer line exists along the east boundary of the property. DRAINAGE: The Green Acres site is proposing to capture onsite runoff within a proposed storm drain system and routed to a detention pond at the southeast corner of the property. The Preliminary Drainage Plan does not provide detention pond calculations at this time, however, it does provide a statement specifying that onsite detention will be provided to limit the post- development discharge to not be more than the pre-development conditions. Final detention pond calculations will be provided with the civil construction plan submittal. CITIZEN INPUT: The following meetings were held to discuss the development: A 2035 Corridor Planning meeting for this project was held on September 19, 2022. A SPIN meeting was held on April 12, 2022. Case No. Attachment A ZA23-0050 Page 4 STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Plat Review Summary No. 2, dated September 1, 2023.

The tree removal mitigation that was approved with the development plans is 642.2”. The most recently submitted Tree Conservation Plan proposes 2678.3” removed. Please submit a corrected Tree Conservation Plan to reflect the approved tree removal mitigation. Otherwise, a Revised Tree Conservation Plan will need to be approved by City Council following a recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission. 2. Please show the 8” water line connection to Players Circle and the four (4) trees to be removed. Note on the plans why the additional trees need to be removed. * Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the 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.
