Narrative for Zoning and SP-1 Detailed Site Plan
Development/Redevelopment Plan for 11.7-Acres of Land
Lot 5, 6 & 7, Block 1 (Near Southeast Corner of Southlake Boulevard and Davis Boulevard)
Please accept this document as a request on behalf of the above referenced development.
If accepted, this 11.7 acre development will occupy the lots mentioned above with improvements to the
parking, open spaces and existing buildings. The requested zoning is S-P-1 with C-3 General Commercial
District Uses as described in the Southlake Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
The existing center will be upgraded, including building improvements, increased patio space, increased
parking, improved open space and a new retail pad site. Access to the site will remain from Southlake
boulevard and Davis Boulevard.
The site plan increases parking by restriping existing spaces. Oversized landscape islands are proposed
where striping will be redone. Previously redundant fire lane will be replaced with patios and open spaces
between buildings 2001 and 2105. The lawn adjacent to Starbucks will be redesigned for a small retail pad
site with food service, large patio and activated outdoor space.
The existing building architecture will remain, but have already been painted to improve the look of the
center.
The design and layout of the shopping center is in near compliance with the ordinances of the City of
Southlake. The modifications are as follows:
Item 1: Open Space:
Current open space is currently 2.08%. This is to remain.
**Open space calculations do not include proposed patio area.
Item 2: Impervious Coverage:
Current total impervious coverage is currently 77.92%. This is to remain.
**This deviates from the C-3 maximum impervious coverage of 75%.
Item 3: Parking:
The number of parking spaces provided for this project are 578, which is an increase from
the previously approved 561 parking spaces. Parking space areas are to be redesigned
and will include additional landscape islands. The parking spaces proposed shall
accommodate a maximum of 25,000 square feet of restaurant excluding patio space.
**Per C-3 code if 25,000 square feet of the net floor area is restaurant and the remaining
92,014 square feet is retail, the required parking is 710 spaces.
Item 4: Landscaping:
Proposed landscape islands are shown in the Site Plan and are included in the updated
open space calculations. Previously approved open space along Southlake Boulevard has
been proposed as a high-end restaurant pad site with outdoor patio and open space as
shown in the SP-1 submittal.
Item 5: Architectural Feature:
Proposed columns for new retail site differ from Town Code.
**The architectural design style proposes steel cylinder columns for the canopy
columns. These are not considered “architecturally significant”. However, the applicant
is requesting approval as designed and submitted. The proposed columns match the
proposed retail building design style and resemble the existing minor column design in
the existing center.
The overall development complies with the required setbacks and buffer yards from the previously
approved Site Plan.
We believe the project quality is consistent with the standards of the Town of Southlake and will be a
significant improvement to the existing center. The proposed items in the SP-1 will attract high end
tenants and improve the overall quality of the area.
