Carroll Crossing
Zoning Case No. ZA24-0059
A. Introduction
The subject of this zoning request is a 15.1267 acre tract of land, situated along
the south side of Southlake Blvd., west of S. Peytonville Ave, in the City of
Southlake, Texas.
The property is made up of two existing parcels, currently un-occupied. The
adjacent land uses are varied, including the Southlake Woods neighborhood to the
South, Office/Restaurant to the West, Retail/Commercial, vacant land and
residential to the East.
The property is currently zoned SP-1 and O-1. The Future Land Use Plan designates
this area for “Retail-Commercial,” “Medium-Density Residential” and “Office
Commercial”. Our proposal is generally consistent with the Land Use Plan. We are
proposing to develop the entire property under the Transition (TZD) Zoning
Ordinance.
Our proposal is to provide a buffer of Office/Commercial/Restaurant along the
Southlake Blvd. frontage, with a Residential neighborhood serving to transition to
the existing neighborhood to our south making up the remainder of the property,
which would be accessible only from S. Peytonville Avenue.
The scale and orientation of the development has been designed to provide for and
encourage a safe and inviting place, desirable architecture and a high-quality
environment, compatible with the rest of the city.
B. Statement of Intent and Purpose:
The purpose and intent of this zoning application is to allow for the creation of a
multi-use community that meets the following objectives:
1. Results in a high quality, well-designed and attractive neighborhood, meeting
the needs of a diverse and vibrant city, in a manner complimentary to the
high-quality existing neighborhoods and commercial developments of
Southlake.
2. Allows for a mixture of complimentary land uses and density, including
housing and service commercial uses in such a way so as to provide an
effective transition from the higher intensity uses to the north, to the
residential land uses bordering the site to the south.
3. Provide for open space areas, specifically located to provide a pleasant
pedestrian and visual linkage through the community.
4. Reinforce streets as public places that encourage pedestrian and bicycle
travel.
5. Encourage efficient use of the land by facilitating compact development.
E. Master Plan
The following exhibits show, in detail, how the conceptual themes identified above
have been developed and applied specifically to the property.
The Tree Conservation Analysis show how the Master Plan fits on the existing site
features, and which trees are to be preserved.
The Development Plan graphic brings it all together into a summary site plan
rendering, showing all the features of the project.
The Neighborhood Landscape Plan shows the overall landscaped areas and
specifically the trees requested by each of our neighbors which we have agreed to
install when the homes are built adjacent to their lots.

G. Land Uses (cont.)
Neighborhood Edge (Office – Restaurant):
The Neighborhood Edge will be made up of Garden Office buildings and a Drive-
thru Restaurant along the Southlake Blvd. frontage.
Parking will be provided at a ratio of one space for every 333 square feet of office
space; one space for every 100 square feet of Restaurant. Such parking will be
provided through a dedicated off-street parking lot.
The Development Plan shows a general layout; a subsequent Site Plan approval will
require detailed plans and elevations, but we have submitted sample photographs of
suggested design and materials anticipated. The buildings will be faced with unit
masonry or authentic 3-step stucco.
Residential Neighborhood:
The Neighborhood contains single-family type residential units, and open space
areas. All lots shall be a minimum of 50’ in width.
-The 30 lots will feature a single-family detached product, ranging in size
from a minimum of 2,500 s.f. to approximately 5,200 s.f.
Each unit will have at least an enclosed two-car garage and two off-street, driveway
parking spaces. All garages will be recessed from the front of the home by a
minimum of 5’.
Typical plans and elevations for the Residences follow.
H. Other Considerations
Proposed Project Schedule:
This project infrastructure is proposed to be developed in a single phase, with
detailed design beginning immediately after zoning approval; submittal for final
approvals and construction is planned to proceed as soon as is possible after that.
All open spaces areas within the Residential Neighborhood will be improved in Phase
I. The Commercial area will be developed as the market allows.
Two or more model homes will be built initially, followed by for-sale or build-to-suit
homes as sales progress.
Open Space Management Plan:
All Common Open Space shall be owned and maintained by a Homeowners/ Property
Owners Association (H/POA). Open Space Easement areas shall also be maintained
by the H/POA. All other areas shall be the responsibility of the individual property
owners, including the front yards and required streetscape elements of the
residential lots. All property owners shall be required to be a member of the
H/POA. Dues assessments, required for the maintenance of the common areas and
other H/POA activities, shall be mandatory.
The H/POA shall be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the
protected open space within the development. The expenses required to maintain
the common areas at a quality level shall be estimated annually by the H/POA
Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each property owner in an
equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level of quality.
Authority to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the property if such
dues are not paid, shall be in the form of written Deed Restrictions and Covenants,
agreed to by all property owners at purchase, and shall run with the land.
Provisions shall be made, in the H/POA bylaws and Deed Restrictions, that in the
unlikely event the H/POA fails to maintain all or a portion of the protected open
space in reasonable order and condition, the City of Southlake may, but is not
required to, assume responsibility for its maintenance and take corrective action,
including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance
may be charged to the H/POA or individual property owners that make up the
H/POA, and may include administrative costs and penalties which shall become a lien
on all property in the development.
