Kuelbs APPLICANT: Jody Boyd PROPERTY SITUATION: 300, 500, 504, 600, and 684 Davis Blvd. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lots 1A, 1B, 2, and 3, Parkers Corner, and Tract 2A02, Jesse G. Allen Survey Abstract 18 LAND USE CATEGORY: Mixed Use, 100-Year Floodplain CURRENT ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District and “RE-5” Single Family Residential Estate District PROPOSED ZONING: “R-PUD” Residential Planned Unit Development HISTORY: The properties were annexed into the City in 1957 with Ord. No. 78. - A Final Plat (ZA85-036) was approved in December of 1981 for Lots 1-5, Parker’s Corner Addition. - November 19, 2024; A Zoning Change and Site Plan/Development Plan was denied by City Council for a senior living (age 62+) community for up to 210 total residences (ZA24-0051). SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The future land use designations for the site are Mixed Use and 100-Year Floodplain. 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 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. Floodplain Purpose and Definition: The Floodplain category illustrates Case No. Attachment A ZA26-0014 Page 2 areas designated by the August 1995 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps as being in the 100‐year floodplain. The “floodplain” is an expanse of natural vegetation and wildlife and should be preserved as natural open area. Within the floodplain is “floodway” that must be kept free of encroachment in order that the 100‐year flood may be carried without harmful increases in the height of flood waters. Although it is not to be encouraged, the portion of the floodplain not in the floodway may be reclaimed for development under certain circumstances if in accordance with FEMA regulations. The designated land use for areas of reclaimed floodplain is that of the immediately adjacent land use category. This designation may also include environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, or wetlands that may not be in FEMA identified floodplains. Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The site plan shows two driveways onto Davis Boulevard. The Master Thoroughfare Plan designates Davis Boulevard as an “A6D” 130’ to 140’ divided arterial road. A 5-foot sidewalk currently exists along the east side of Davis Boulevard and Randoll Mill Avenue. This section of Davis Boulevard is designated to have a sidewalk of a minimum 5-foot width. The Master Pathways Plan also calls for an 8-foot multi-use trail on the western side of the property. TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT: Area Road and Network Conditions The site proposes two primary access points along Davis Boulevard, each aligned with planned median openings on Davis Boulevard.. Case No. Attachment A ZA26-0014 Page 3 Traffic Impact: The project does not exceed the traffic threshold criteria of the Driveway Ordinance No. 634 that would require a full Traffic Impact Analysis. TREE PRESERVATION: There is 52.95% of existing tree cover. A total of 50.51% of existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved and 49.49 proposed to be removed. UTILITIES: The site is served by a 6-inch water line main and by a 15-inch sewer main along Davis Boulevard. DRAINAGE: The project is proposing a storm drain system that outlets into the existing creek behind the development.

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. The proposed masonry wall along the east side of the property will most likely conflict with some of the existing trees proposed to be protected. Particularly within the southeast corner, Lots 11, 12, 13, 14. 2. If the development were proposed as straight zoning the proposed existing tree cover preservation would comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E, but only by 1.66%. There is 52.95% of existing tree cover and a minimum of 50% would be required to be preserved. A total of 51.66% is proposed to be preserved and 48.34% is proposed to be removed. Case No. Attachment D ZA26-0014 Page 2 * 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 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 Case No. Attachment D ZA26-0014 Page 3 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.
