SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The underlying land use designation is Mixed Use.
Purpose: 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.
Definition: 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
Item 8
Case No. Attachment A
ZA25-0026 Page 3
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 optional future land use designation is Restaurant and Specialty
Retail Overlay.
The Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay is a commercial overlay
category designed and intended for the concentration of unique dining
and specialty retail options not otherwise found in Southlake’s established
retail and restaurant centers. The purpose of this category is to foster the
development of a dynamic, destination restaurant district. This district
should feature mostly independent, unique or local restaurants offering
diverse and healthy cuisine in a sit-down format, which may also include
aspects of culinary tourism or educational components up to and
including schools offering training in culinary arts. The overlay may
provide for incubation of new businesses and concepts which might
otherwise struggle to operate in more traditional retail commercial spaces.
Physical aspects of this district may include proximity to Community
Services uses, proximity to niche retail, frontage onto shared space for
dining or gathering rather than streets, and shared parking.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
Kirkwood Blvd. is classified as an “A4D” four-lane divided arterial with
100’ of right of way. S.H. 114 is classified as a Freeway with 300’ – 500’
of right of way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan calls for a minimum 8 ft. trail along the east
side of S.H. 114 and a less than 8 ft. sidewalk along the south side of W.
Kirkwood Blvd. The proposed concept plan includes the required
sidewalks along both roadways adjacent to the site.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
Access to the project will be provided by two access driveways onto W.

TREE PRESERVATION: There is approximately 39% existing tree cover on the site, of which
approximately 16% is proposed to be preserved. A standard zoning
district requires that a minimum 60% of existing tree cover be preserved.
The applicant is proposing that the tree removal be allowed as shown on
the plan.
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.
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 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

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON
4/22/25 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY
MADE CONDITIONS OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE
CONTACT JENNY CROSBY AT (817) 748-8195.
1. The following changes are needed regarding driveways per the Driveway Ordinance No. 634,
as amended:
a. The minimum stacking depth per Driveway Ordinance No. 634, as amended, is 75’.
With the original Zoning and Concept Plan, only two driveways were shown for the site
and as such, the required stacking depth for each driveway was 100 feet. A variance
was granted for 94 feet of stacking on the western drive and 78 feet of stacking on the
eastern drive. A variance will be required for the proposed site plan for the 52.2 feet of
stacking on the drive access the SH11 frontage road.
b. The minimum driveway spacing along an arterial street requires a min. 200 ft. from an
intersection to a driveway centerline and a min. 250 ft. between driveway centerlines.
The eastern driveway on W. Kirkwood is ± 191.4’ from the intersection of SH114 and
the western driveway is ± 229.9’ from the Charles Schwab driveway along W. Kirkwood
Blvd.
2. Provide adequate parking meeting the minimum requirements of Section 35 of the Zoning
Ordinance for all proposed uses/buildings. The original Zoning and Concept Plan were
approved with 229 parking spaces required/provided. The proposed site plan provides 182
spaces, and the narrative indicates that “we are developing a parking agreement with the
property North of W Kirkwood Blvd across from VariSpace for the remainder of required
parking spaces”. Further verification will be needed to ensure parking requirements will be
met.
3. Provide architectural renderings and elevations of the proposed structures for anything
intended to be built vertically with the first phase, including retail buildings and event hall. As
this property is within the Corridor Overlay Zone, provide elevation plans with dimensions
showing building height, wall height, wall lengths, dimensions of horizontal and vertical
articulation, and the type of exterior construction material.

4. The sheet keynote on the concept plan shows the restaurant and the event hall as different
numbers than the site data summary. The proposed impervious coverage does not match on
the concept plan and the site plan. Please clarify/correct so that area and proposed impervious
coverage matches on both charts.
5. The Traffic Impact Analysis shows a different square footage area for the restaurant, event
hall, and retail buildings than the concept and site plan. Please clarify/correct so that area
matches across each plan and the Traffic Impact Analysis.

The following comments are based on the review of plans received on April 21, 2025 .
Comments designated with a number may be incorporated into the formal review to be
considered by either the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council. Other items will
not be addressed by either the P&Z or City Council. It is the applicant’s responsibility to
contact the department representative shown above and make modifications as required by
the comment.
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Please provide the existing tree cover calculations on the Tree Conservation Plan. The
existing tree cover calculations consist of the total percentage of existing tree canopy
cover on the property, the total percentage of existing tree canopy cover proposed to
be removed, and the total percentage of existing tree canopy cover proposed to be
preserved.
2. There are no existing tree canopy cover calculations provided but if the development
were proposed as traditional zoning it would not comply with the Existing Tree Cover
Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585 -E.
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.

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 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.
3. Required landscape trees are proposed to be used towards tree removal mitigation. The
Landscape Ordinance, Bufferyrds Regulations, and Tree Preservation Ordinance are
totally separate regulations and the interior and bufferyards landscaping may not count
towards tree removal mitigation.
4. There are four (4) existing trees (Trees #2, 4, 6, 8) proposed to be preserved in the
northwest corner of the property but there are topography grade changes proposed
within the critical root zone area of the trees. A protected tree shall be considered altered
if one or more of the following occurs: more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the critical
root zone is adversely affected, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its canopy is
removed, or the tree is disfigured to the extent a reasonable person would conclude the
tree will not survive.
* 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
Item 8
Case No. Attachment D
ZA25-0026 Page 6
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.
* The applicant is currently proposing to pay $347,550 into the Reforestation Fund
towards tree removal mitigation. Since required interior and bufferyards landscape trees
may not count towards tree removal mitigation, the actual amount required to be paid
into the Reforestation Fund would be $413,550.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. Provide a color rendition of the Landscape Plan which delineates which landscaping is
proposed interior landscaping and which is proposed bufferyards landscaping.
2. The interior landscape calculations are incorrect and are only based on the restaurant
building and event building. Provide the correct “Required” interior landscape area and
plant material based on 50% of the building floor area for all the proposed buil dings
which are the retail buildings, restaurant buildings, and event building.
3. The west bufferyard adjacent to State Highway 114 is incorrect. The correct bufferyard
is a 25’ – J type bufferyard. Provide at least the minimum bufferyard required and the
appropriate required plant material.
4. Within the Bufferyards Summary Chart, provide the appropriate required bufferyards
types and plant material calculations for all three (3) required bufferyards.
5. Existing tree credits are proposed to be taken for required landscape trees within the
east 5’ – A bufferyard. Ther are only three (3) on-site trees proposed to be preserved
within the vicinity of the bufferyard. They would only count towards credits fo r three (3)
of the required bufferyard trees, not all required canopy and accent trees.
Existing tree credits shall only be granted if the tree/s are in healthy condition and all
requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance have been met as determined at the
time of inspection for a Permanent Certificate of Occupancy.
6. Little Gem Magnolia are classified as an accent/ornamental/small tree, not a canopy
tree.
