Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #8 – Southlake Marketplace Meeting #35 – February 7, 2022 Page 3 ITEM #8 DISCUSSION – Review, discuss and make recommendations for proposed changes to the Southlake Marketplace (aka Southlake Crossing) retail center located at 2225, 2155, 2101, 2055, and 2001 W. Southlake Blvd. The proposal excludes 2201 W. Southlake Blvd. (Urban Air), 2255 W. Southlake Blvd. (Dunkin Donuts), and 125 Davis Blvd. (Texas Health Breeze Urgent Care) which are also within the Southlake Marketplace shopping center. Staff presentation: Ken Baker • The proposal is within the areas outline in blue (16.1 acres). The proposal excludes 2201 W. Southlake Blvd. (Urban Air), 2255 W. Southlake Blvd. (Dunkin Donuts), and 125 Davis Blvd. (Texas Health Breeze Urgent Care) which are also within the Southlake Marketplace shopping center. • Future Land Use – Retail Commercial • Zoning – C3 • The applicant’s submission materials outline the proposed changes to the shopping center. The applicant indicates that Southlake Market place has several challenges including vehicular access, poor wayfinding, lack of trees in the parking areas, lack of outdoor social spaces, dated storefronts, poor street presence, minimal landscaping and not pedestrian friendly. • Proposed improvements to the shopping area and include: o 1) intersection improvements (pages 9-10) o 2) improved entry and arrival experience (pages 11 -13 o 3) expanded open spaces/ 2 new retail building (pages 14 - 16) o 4) outdoor patio areas (pages 17-24) o 5) parking lot enhancements (pages 25-27). • Part of the submission proposes improvements to the drive entry off FM 1709: o In 2013 the City of Southlake, the previous owner of the shopping center and TXDOT began discussions on possible new drive access points to the Southlake Market Place Development in conjunction with the FM 1938 widening project. During this time, preliminary design 6 concepts were developed which included driveway closures, building a new driveway, and converting an emergency signal to a full signal near the drive location. Also, the preliminary design included modifications to the intersection at Fire Department Station #2, which allowed emergency vehicles to access FM 1709 from the station without delay. Also, the project required the relocation of an Atmos gas regulator and line along FM 1709. • A possible partnership/funding participation between TXDOT, the City and the previous owner of the shopping center was considered for the project (public investment). Funds were allocated in the City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for construction in FY 2017. However, a funding agreement with the shopping center owner at the time was not executed and the project did not move forward. Subsequently, funding for the project was removed from the CIP. Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #8 – Southlake Marketplace Meeting #35 – February 7, 2022 Page 4 Questions for staff by the Committee: N/A Applicant presentation: Questions for applicant by the Committee: Shawn McCaskill: This is a long time coming, I'm excited to see this. Especially the entrance and parking lot. Having these parking islands is a huge step forward. Michael Springer: So, nothing will happen to Urban Air’s parking? Ken Baker: No, it will not. They do not control that area. When Urban Air came through you might remember we did some parking lot enhancements with planting islands. Urban Air is not a part of this. Michael Springer: Strange that you could have some areas that match and others that have non-matching aesthetics. Kathy Talley: Great because its needs an uplift. It would be nice to have this space here. Frances Scharli: Be mindful of where the park is placed in conjunction with Starbucks. Make sure it is safe. Applicant: We do not control Urban Air, but we have a relationship with the owner and would work with us to make the wholesale change we are making. We will look at the park closely and address any safety concerns. Excited about this property because it is a gateway to Southlake. We will continue to develop other ideas, but we would like to make it exciting and great. Kathy Talley: You must be careful by that Starbucks, it can be dangerous. Daniel Kubiak: Is the Starbucks parcel a part of this? Applicant: Yes. Daniel Kubiak: This is new ownership? Applicant: Yes. Amy Torres-Lepp: I love the walkability idea. I saw a great park feature on the renderings which would be a great way to get people to the space. I’m very excited for this. Frances Scharli: I agree, this is such an improvement, it’s unbelievable. Applicant: We are excited to move forward with this.
