RE: ZA24-0073- Chapel Crossing- Rezoning Request- Revised S-P-2 Regulations
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are respectively requesting approval of a revision to the previously approved S-P-2 Concept Plan
for the Chapel Crossing office development, located at the SW corner of SH-114 and White Chapel
Blvd.
The current S-P-2 (Generalized Site Plan District) zoning was approved in 2014, as Ordinance No.
480-667. This zoning approval allowed for a Phase I, 3 story, office building of 51,000 s.f. to be
built, as well as an expansion of approximately 23,000 s.f. to be built in a future phase. The Phase I
building was built; the expansion has not.
The approved Concept Plan (Exhibit B, dated September 29, 2014), shows the expansion building
adjacent and attached to the Phase I building, on a single lot. With this revision, we propose to
separate the expansion building from the existing building, and carve out a separate lot for it to be
located on.
The revised Concept Plan, submitted herein, proposes substituting a separate, 2 Story Office
building, of approximately 30,000 s.f., located on the NW portion of the site, within a new, separate
lot. This new structure would be instead of the previously approved 23,000 s.f. addition to the
existing building.
The façade of the new structure would be of a similar nature to the existing Phase I structure,
complementary in design and materials.
Also included in our submission is a Tree Conservation Plan and a Landscape Plan, using the
previously approved Landscape Plan as a guide, but making sure to meet the Buffer yards and
Interior Landscaping requirements for the site as a whole.
The requested zoning is S-P-2 Generalized Site Plan District, following the O-1 Office District Uses
with all previous conditions of approval remain in effect. In addition, we are questions the following
exceptions and additional requirements:
1. A parking requirement of one space for every 225 square feet of building area, regardless of
occupancy.
2. Allowable Building Height shall remain three (3) stories.
3. Maximum predominant building height (actual) shall remain 50’-0” and ornamental elements
remaining at 60’-0”.
4. Building Setbacks along internal property lines shall not be required.
5. Buffer Yards along internal property lines shall not be required.
6. A shared parking, cross access easement and shared maintenance agreement shall be required.
Required parking for all built uses shall be provided within the S-P-2 boundary; parking
requirements for individual lots shall not apply.
7. Parking Space Requirements: All Uses: One (1) space for each two hundred twenty five (225)
square feet of Net Leasable Area.
8. Dumpster Enclosure Location: Dumpster enclosure shall be permitted as shown on the Concept
Plan, on Lot 1R1. This additional dumpster enclosure shall serve Lot 1R2, and will require a shared
use agreement prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed building on Lot 1R2.
9. The elevations for the second building shall be consistent with the Phase I building, including the
stone treatments.
10. We respectfully request the attached site plan changes, including revisions to the parking number,
configuration, and building size and height.
11. We respectfully request that the proposed building uses be allowed include Ambulatory Surgery
Center in addition to a medical office.
12. We respectfully request that the site be allowed to increase its impervious area. We understand
that this could lead to an increase in detention that will be needed for the site, etc.
13. We respectfully request that the revisions to the open area, Tree Conservation, and proposed
landscaping be reviewed to address the revision to the site plan, etc.
14. We respectfully request that the Traffic Impact Analysis be deferred to the Site Plan submittal.
The following variances to Driveway Ordinance No. 634, as amended, were approved with the
original Zoning Change and Concept/Site Plan for Southlake Office Plaza (ZA13-106) and with
Chapel Crossing (ZA19-0064). We will request that these variances be carried over with the current
request:
1. Section 5.2.c prohibits commercial driveways on local and collector streets. A variance was
requested to allow a commercial driveway onto Countryside Ct., which is a local street. (Please note
that Countryside Ct. serves primarily non-residential traffic).
2. Section 5.2.d requires a minimum stacking depth of 100’ for both driveways. A variance was
requested to allow the stacking depths as shown on the Site Plan and Concept Plans with
approximately 43’ of stacking depth shown on the E. S.H. 114 driveway and approximately 48’ of
stacking depth shown on the Countryside Ct. driveway.
We thank you in advance for your help and time. Please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns or if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Cumulus Design
