CASE NO: ZBA25-0014
PROJECT: 901 Charleston Drive – Special Exception Use for an Accessory Building
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Clayton Coffee, on behalf of Manisha and Shivang Mehta, is requesting a Special
Exception Use, per Zoning Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 44.12(2), for an
accessory building of a size or aggregate size greater than permitted on property
described as Lot 17, Block 3, Southlake Meadows Phase 1 and is located at 901
Charleston Drive, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: “R-PUD”
Residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN Neighborhood #5.
REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to seek approval for a Special Exception Use to
construct a detached, covered pool cabana of approximately 900 square feet that
includes a bathroom and storage room. The property, which totals 41,553 square feet
(0.954 acre), currently has no other accessory structures. Although the proposed
cabana exceeds the maximum permitted aggregate accessory building size of 600
square feet, it meets all required setbacks—50 feet from the rear yard and 15 feet
from the side yard. An existing stone retaining wall is located to the north and east of
the proposed structure, and a 20-foot tree preservation easement extends along the
rear of the property. The cabana will also be architecturally consistent with the
existing main residence.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a Public Hearing
2) Consider Approval of a SEU

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Manisha and Shivang Mehta
APPLICANT: Clayton Coffee
PROPERTY SITUATION: 901 Charleston Drive
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 17, Block 3, Southlake Meadows Phase 1
LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “R-PUD” Residential Planned Unit Development District
HISTORY: A plat for RP Estes Subdivision was filed with Tarrant County prior to
annexation on a portion of the property.
A portion of the property was annexed into the City of Southlake in 1985 and
another portion of the property was annexed in 1987.
A portion of the property was zoned “NR-PUD” with the adoption of
Ordinances 334 and 480.
A Zoning Change and Site Plan (ZA09-062) from “AG” – Agricultural District
to “S-P-1” – Detailed Site Plan District with limited O-1 and limited I-1 uses
was approved by the City Council on one of the subject properties (2411
Sam School Road) on May 10, 2011.
A Zoning Change and Development Plan from “NR-PUD” Non-Residential
Planned Unit Development, “AG” Agricultural District and “S-P-1” Detailed Site
Plan District to “R-PUD” Residential Planned Unit Development District for
Savannah Estates (ZA12-088).
A new residential building permit was issued in August 2017.
WATER & SEWER: The property is served by a water meter and an 8-inch water line along
Charleston Drive. There is a connecting 8-inch sewer main line.
STAFF COMMENTS: The application and exhibits are provided in this Staff Report.
The findings necessary for the Board to approve a Special Exception Use are
below:
1) No special exception shall be granted unless the Board finds that the
requested exception is specifically permitted by the zoning ordinance;
2) That the location of the proposed activities and improvements is
clearly defined on the concept plan or plot plan, and
3) That the special exception is wholly compatible with the use and
permitted development of adjacent properties either as filed or subject
to such limitations and requirements as the board deems to be
Case No. Attachment A
ZBA25-0014 Page 2
necessary to protect adjacent properties.
Furthermore, the construction of accessory buildings or structures of a size or
aggregate size greater than that permitted under the accessory building
requirements of the zoning district of the property are based on the following
review criteria:
a. Compatibility of the materials proposed with the principal structures and the
surrounding properties
b. Purpose of the accessory structure
c. Consistency of architectural style including roof structure
d. Setback from adjoining properties and location on the subject property
