PROPERTY SITUATION: 1630 Brumlow Ave., Southlake, Texas. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Tracts 2E and 2E07, John N. Gibson Survey Abstract 591, and Tract 1A1, Harrison Decker Survey Abstract 4838 , City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas LAND USE CATEGORY: Mixed Use; Industrial CURRENT ZONING: “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District, with "I-1" Light Industrial District uses, and other specific uses outlined in the Development Regulations. HISTORY: The western portion of the property located on Brumlow Avenue was annexed and zoned “AG” per Ordinance No. 89 in 1957. The eastern and southern portion of the property was annexed and zoned “AG” per Ordinance No. 373 in 1987. At their June 4th, 2024 meeting, the City Council approved “S -P-2” Generalized Site Plan District zoning for the site, and a Site Plan for the Municipal Service Center and Public Safety Training Tower. (ZA24-0010) SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The future land use designation for the site is “Mixed Use” and “Industrial”. The purpose of the Mixed Use to provide an option for large scale, master‐planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use designation is intended for medium ‐ to higher‐intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance‐free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi‐Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories. The Industrial category is intended for Industrial and business service development that is relatively free of unwanted side effects, such as unsightliness, noise, odor, glare, vibrations, etc., is permitted in the Industrial Case No. Attachment A ZA25-0020 Page 1 category. If meeting the qualification of relatively free of unwanted side effects, suitable types of development in the Industrial category can be characterized by the manufacturing, processing, packaging, assembly, storage, warehousing and/or distribution of products. Ancillary commercial and retail activities associated with these uses are permitted. Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi‐Public activities as described above may be permitted if surrounding industrial uses do not pose hazards and are sufficiently buffered. Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The property is bound by Brumlow Ave. to the west. Brumlow Ave. is proposed to be a 4-lane divided arterial at build out. It is currently a 2-lane undivided roadway at the location in which the proposed development intersects. The Site Plan accounts for a future access point along Southwestern Street at the southern portion of the property. Per the Master Thoroughfare Plan, Southwestern Street is proposed to extend from the east to connect to Brumlow Ave. At build out, this will be a 2 -lane undivided collector. Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan The Pathways Plan shows a less than 8’ sidewalk along the east side of Brumlow Ave. The applicant is proposing a 5’ sidewalk along Brumlow Ave. TREE PRESERVATION: There is 25% of existing tree cover on the site and a minimum of 60% is required to be preserved. A maximum of 28% is proposed to be removed, and a minimum of 72% is proposed to be preserved. UTILITIES: There is an existing 8” water line on Brumlow Avenue. There is an existing 12” gravity main on the eastern boundary of the development. DRAINAGE: Drainage on the property is to be captured with onsite detention. CITIZEN INPUT: The following meeting was held to discuss the development: A SPIN meeting was held for this project on December 12, 2023 .

Additionally, staff recommends easements only be provided where needed for the extension of adequate utilities access. Case No. Attachment C ZA24-0025 Page 2 Tree Conservation/Landscape Review TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS: * The Tree Conservation Plan conforms with the existing tree cover preservation requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance but because of the storm sewer construction within the floodplain it is slightly different from the Tree Conservation Plan approved with the Site Plan. * There is a total of 25% of existing tree cover and a minimum of 60% is required to be preserved. A maximum of 30% is proposed to be removed and a minimum of 70% is to be preserved. * 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. Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements Percentage of existing tree cover on the entire site Minimum percentage of the existing tree cover to be preserved* 0% – 20% 70% 20.1 – 40% 60% 40.1% - 60% 50% 60.1% - 80% 40% 80.1% - 100% 30% *The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in public rights-of-way as approved by City Council. 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: i. 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; ii. 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 Case No. Attachment C ZA24-0025 Page 2 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; v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other streets as identified and prioritized in the Street Typology designation; and vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to this Ordinance. * Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved. * Indicates informational comment. # Indicates required items comment.
