Staff presentation: Reagan Rothenberger
• Zoning – S-P-1 and O-1
• Future Land Use – Medium Density Residential, Office Commercial, and Retail
Commercial
• Site Specific Recommendations
o FM LU 7
• Previously approved site plan – ZA23-0005 (Green Acres)
• Concept B & C
Questions for staff by the Committee:
Daniel Kubiak: Generally consistent with the land use plan?
Reagan Rothenberger: Closest to land use plan. As Dennis likes to say, this is painted
with a paint brush – not always specific.
Daniel Kubiak: Selfishly, I like Option B better.
Kathy Talley: The distance between the two drives on Peytonville, are these
appropriately spaced?
Dennis Killough: If it is a public street, it is looked at differently. Might be slightly under.
Frances Scharli: How often do we connect a residential to a retail?
Daniel Kubiak: Oh never. Whenever you want to provide access, do it a safe way. You
have to provide access somehow.
Frances Scharli: But they have access out onto Peytonville correct?
Daniel Kubiak: Potentially. There might be variances associated with it. You probably
want multiples access points.
Frances Scharli: I think I would have an issue with commercial being adjacent to
residential – especially with cutting through.
Daniel Kubiak: I guess the market can decide if that’s the case. That’s how the land
use plan is laid out – residential in the back and commercial on the front.
Frances Scharli – Connectivity is an issue here.
Magdalena Battles: I was concerned with the high school traffic on this road.
Daniel Kubiak: You want to provide as many access points as possible.
Reagan Rothenberger: What was currently approved here was a major retail center
and they tried to connect to other areas as well to make up for it.

Meeting #48 – June 5, 2024 Page 4
• Difficult site to figure out
• No access other than to Southlake Blvd.
• Resident entrance would be better off Peytonville vs. Southlake Blvd.
o But we need more access points
• We want to make sure the homes are well buffered
• Emergency access points stubbed from Players Circle
o Emergency entry
• How far deep into the site can we get commercial in this site? Probably only one
level deep
• Smaller lot – more empty nester type housing.
o This doesn’t have residential adjacency, except to the south by the
detention pond.
• We thought we could activate this site by allowing the opportunity for residents to
walk to the commercial properties next to them
• Large percentage of open space
• Detention pond will need to be sized appropriately
• Options B & C
• No connection to the commercial properties on option C
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Daniel Kubiak: Past applications on this site – approved for big box retail store –
without access to Peytonville. There’s been a few applications we’ve seen and I’m trying
to remember what we saw. Nothing quite like this right?
Dennis Killough: Correct, there was one item that came to Corridor and was fairly
dense with retail and office.
Daniel Kubiak: We probably gave them not great feedback.
Frances Scharli: On the Green Acres one, didn’t their green space back up to the
residential?
Dennis Killough: It did – their zoning did not require them to make a land use plan
amendment because of how the site laid out. The detention and planting/open space
followed very closely to the land use designation boundaries – passive open space falls
into that category. High intensity retail fell closer to Southlake Blvd.
Frances Scharli: This feels very dense to me. Too many houses.
Magdalena Battles: How many homes per acre?
Applicant: Overall, about 2. The site is over 15 acres, so we’re in the neighborhood of
about 30 units. That’s in line with the TZD zoning.
Magdalena Battles: Does that 15 acres include the commercial property?
Applicant: Yes.

Meeting #48 – June 5, 2024 Page 5
Magdalena Battles: So, if you take that commercial size off – how much of the acreage
is left?
Applicant: More like 12 acres, so 2½.
Daniel Kubiak: How many homes differ from plan to plan?
Applicant: 30 homes vs. 33 homes
Daniel Kubiak: It’s important to remember what’s adjacent to this site. One-acre lots
aren’t going to cut it.
Frances Scharli: We are seeing a lot of this and I’m uncomfortable with it.
Daniel Kubiak: A lot of the sites left are like this, so it kind of calls for it.
Applicant: This is very much in demand. With the price of new homes in Southlake
getting into the 3 and 4 million, we need a place for families not at that level.
Kathy Talley: I like the connectivity of option B. More than one point of access with a
gate would be good – similar to The Overlook that only residents can access. Giving
them an option because Peytonville can be challenging.
Applicant: Proximity to school is what we talked about too. Kids could walk to school
from here. It’s well located.
Magdalena Battles: Are you putting in sidewalks?
Applicant: Of course.
Daniel Kubiak: By far the best proposal we’ve seen for this site. It’s a tough site.
Consistent with the land use plan. Great buffer to the south for residents.
Magdalena Battles: South lot – looking on Peytonville – option to buy some of those
other lots, the lot farthest south and east of the detention pond – why couldn’t you
develop a drive there?
Applicant: If it were up to me, we would include this entire piece of property, but other
people still own these properties. Some people still live there.
