BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Rama Gullapalli, Shady 21, LLC
APPLICANT: The Huffman Group, LLC and Sage Group
PROPERTY SITUATION: 1835 Shady Oaks Drive
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Tract 1A01B, James J. West Survey, Abstract No. 1620
LAND USE CATEGORY: Office Commercial
CURRENT ZONING: "AG" Agricultural District
PROPOSED ZONING: "RPUD" Residential Planned Unit Development
HISTORY: The property was annexed into the city in 1956 (Ordinance No. 37).
SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
Underlying Future Land Use Designation
The underlying future land use designation for the site is "Office
Commercial".
The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and
intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office -related activities.
It is established for and will be allocated to those districts best suited for
supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has been
established to encourage and permit general professional and business
offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped
surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so
controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent
and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation
may serve as a transition between established residential neighborhoods,
major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities are
those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories previously discussed.
Optional Land Use Overlay
The optional land use overlay designation is "Multi -Tenant Office Overlay".
The Multi -Tenant Office category is a commercial overlay category
designed and intended for the use of high- quality, medium to large-scale
office buildings of 2-4 stories that may be build -to -suit or speculative
("spec") built. These office developments are envisioned to be 50,000
square feet or larger in either a standalone or office park configuration,
and are for the use of corporate offices, professional services firms,
financial firms, information technology and media companies, biomedical
companies, research and development, medical office, and other users
which drive demand for medium to large-scale office buildings. These
buildings are less prominent than high-rise office with floor layouts that
are designed for maximum user flexibility.

ZA25-0005 Page 1
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The property is bounded by Shady Oaks Drive to the west and the S.H.
114 access road to the east. SH-114 is designated as a Freeway with 300-
500 ft. right of way and Shady Oaks Drive is designated as a C21J, 2-lane
undivided collector with 60 ft. of right of way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Pathways Master Plan calls for an 8 ft. minimum sidewalk along Shady
Oaks Drive and the S.H. 114 access road. Per the Subdivision Ordinance,
a minimum 5 ft. sidewalk is required along residential streets. The
applicant is providing the required sidewalks along Shady Oaks Drive, the
S.H. 114 access road, and the proposed residential street.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed development has one driveway entrance from the S.H. 114
access road for the office component. A street is proposed connecting to
Shady Oaks Drive for the residential component.
Traffic Counts
" Based on the (2017-2018) City of Southlake Traffic Count Report
Traffic Impact
The anticipated site traffic for the proposed development is approximately
290 vehicle trips on a daily basis.
TREE PRESERVATION: If the development were proposed as traditional zoning it would not comply
with the existing tree cover preservation requirements of the Tree
Preservation Ordinance. There is 86.76% of existing cover and a minimum
of 30% would be required to be preserved under a standard zoning district.
A total of 19.82% is proposed to be preserved, 12.79% is proposed as
"Borderline/Marginal" to be preserved, and 67.39% is proposed to be
removed.
UTILITIES: There is an existing 10-inch sewer line and an existing 6-inch water line
along Shady Oaks Drive.
DRAINAGE: The property predominantly drains east to west, although the southeast
portion of the property drains toward S.H. 114 and to the south. The plan
proposes capturing stormwater into the new street on the residential
portion of the property and into a detention pond on the commercial portion
of the property.

PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION: February 20, 2025; APPROVED (7-0) to table until the April 3, Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting.
April 3, 2025, APPROVED (6-1) subject to Staff Report dated March 28,
2025, and Development Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated March 28,
2025, noting:
- the conditions that the approval not negatively affect the tract to the west
with regards to setbacks, slopes, and related zoning issues and
- noting the applicant's willingness to make the setback off of Shady Oaks
50' instead of 40' and
- noting the applicant's willingness to investigate utilizing the entrance off
114 as a construction entrance and
- also noting that the Planning and Zoning Commission does not prefer to
have the gate open to resident access on 114,
- noting the applicant's willingness to provide more detail on the landscape
plan tree details, especially along 114, and
- also noting Planning and Zoning's preference for a consistent fence
solution along S.H. 114 that would be maintained by the HOA as well as
investigating vegetation and trees along 114 as opposed to a sound barrier
wall, but further investigating solutions for sound mitigation beyond that as
well.
CITY COUNCIL:
CITIZEN INPUT: The following meetings were held to discuss the development:
A SPIN Meeting was held on February 11, 2025.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. On the Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan there is an Engineered Drainage Channel
Case No. Attachment C
ZA25-0005 Page 1
proposed with the tree preservation area between W. SH 114 and the detention pond on Shady
Oaks Drive. This would require the removal of a significant amount, if not all the trees proposed to
be protected within this area.
2. If the development were proposed as traditional zoning it would not comply with the existing
tree cover preservation requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. There is 86.76% of
existing cover and a minimum of 30% would be required to be preserved. A total of 20.65% is
proposed to be preserved, 15.38% is proposed as "Borderline/Marginal" to be preserved, and
63.97% is proposed to be removed.
Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree Conservation
Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing tree cover in
accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the property has
previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing tree cover at
the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum existing tree
cover that must be preserved under this section.

For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a planned development
zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation,
Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider
the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the corresponding
development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning Commission
shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the
application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds that the Plan
or Analysis provides for the:
placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so as
to maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including mature
tree stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades;
maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the
Environmental Resource Protection Map;
iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential to buffer residential
areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of nonresidential uses;
iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural or man-made
drainage creek;
maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other
