Southlake Blvd. (proposed Floor and Décor) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Philip Cochran of Floor and Décor and Bill Dahlstrom of Jackson Walker LLP, on behalf of the owner Greenway – 1709 Eleven Partners, are requesting approval of a Land Use Plan amendment for Floor and Décor, for property described as Tract 1B02, John A Freeman Survey Abstract No. 529, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2185 E. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Land Use Designation: Retail Commercial and Office Commercial. Requested Land Use Designation: Retail Commercial and Office Commercial with a Site- Specific Recommendation. Current Zoning: “B-1” Business Service Park District. Requested Zoning (ZA23-0042): “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. Specifically, the request is to modify the Future Land Use Map to identify the property at 2185 E. Southlake Blvd. as an area that has a site-specific recommendation in the Consolidated Land Use Plan. The site-specific recommendation, designated as 114-LU18, will be added to the “Summary of Land Use Changes” table in the Consolidated Land Use Plan. The proposed site- specific recommendation is as follows: “Allow S-P-1 (Detailed) Site Plan zoning to allow for a large single-tenant retail development (approximately 75,000 square feet).” DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to propose a Land Use Plan amendment for the purpose of zoning and developing the property for an approximately 75,000 square foot building intended for retail uses – specifically a Floor and Décor retail center. A Zoning Change and Site Plan application for Floor and Décor has been submitted under case ZA23-0042. The property is a 7.8-acre tract of land located southwest of the intersection of East Southlake Boulevard and South Kimball Avenue. The site is currently unimproved and is split between two land use designations - Retail Commercial on the northern portion of the site and Office Commercial on the southern portion of the site. Department of Planning & Development Services Case No. CP23-0001 Existing Land Use Designations 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. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Retail Commercial category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions. Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed Retail 65% +35% Office 20% ±20% Open space 10% ±10% Civic use 5% ±5% Total 100% *These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide. Case No. CP23-0001 Office Commercial Purpose and Definition: The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office‐related activities. It is established for and will be allocated to those districts best suited for supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has been established to encourage and permit general professional and business offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation may serve as a transition between established residential neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi‐Public categories previously discussed. Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Office Commercial category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions. Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed Office 85% ±15% Open space 10% ±10% Civic use 5% ±5% Total 100% *These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
