Item 6E - Staff Report CITY OF Item 6E SOUTHLAI<.,,E Department of Planning & Development Services STAFF REPORT June 8, 2026 CASE NO: ZA26-0040 PROJECT: Revised Concept Plan for Bridlegate at 4000 N. White Chapel Boulevard EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Frank Viola is requesting approval of a revised Concept Plan for Bridlegate on property described as Lot 2R, R.D. Price No. 992 Addition and located at 4000 N. White Chapel Boulevard. Current Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #1. DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to seek approval for a revised concept plan for an eight-lot single-family residential subdivision on approximately 9.5 acres located on the south side of W. Bob Jones Road, west of N. White Chapel Boulevard. The property is currently zoned "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District; therefore, no zoning change is required. The proposed eight-lot concept plan would replace the previously approved one-lot concept plan. Under the prior approval (ZA14-093), portions of two tracts were combined with an existing platted lot to create one larger lot, designated as Lot 2R. That approval also included a variance allowing Lot 2R to be a double-fronted residential lot with frontage on both N. White Chapel Boulevard and W. Bob Jones Road. The proposed Bridlegate subdivision includes eight residential lots ranging in size from approximately 43,560 square feet (1.0 acre) to 66,210 square feet (1.52 acres). Lots 1 through 5 will have access from the subdivision's proposed private street. Lot 6 is requested to have direct access to W. Bob Jones Road, while Lots 7 and 8 will have access from N. White Chapel Boulevard. Lots 6, 7, and 8 are proposed to contain detention/retention facilities. Variances are requested for the private street and for direct access to W. Bob Jones Road for Lot 6. Site Data Summary Existing Zoning SF-1A Existing Land Use Low Density Residential Number of Residential Lots 8 Gross Acreage 9.5 VARIANCES REQUESTED: A private street is proposed with gate access. Accordingly, the applicant is requesting a variance to Subdivision Ordinance No.483,as amended, 5.04,which does not permit private streets in new subdivisions in which less than 75% of the lots contain homeowner occupied structures to allow a gated community with private streets with the initial development. Case No. ZA26-0040 Per Driveway Ordinance No. 634, Section 5.3(c), a residential driveway off a collector street is not permitted when there is access to a residential street. The applicant is requesting a variance for Lot 6 to allow for driveway access onto W. Bob Jones Road.

White Chapel Blvd. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2R, R.D. Price No. 992 Addition LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1988. - The existing residential home was built in 1999. - On March 5, 2002, City Council approved a zoning change from "RE" Single Family Residential Estate District to "SF-1X Single Family Residential District (ZA01-138). - The existing accessory structure was built in 2010. The barn was approved by SEU through the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). - On September 16, 2014, City Council approved a Zoning Change and Concept Plan (ZA14-093), running concurrently with a Preliminary Plat and Plat Revision, to combine the unplatted Tract 14 and a portion of Tract 15,which totaled approximately 4.6 acres, with Lot 2, R.D. Price No. 992 Addition, to create one lot approximately 9.562 acres in size, designated as Lot 2R, and to approve a variance to allow a double-fronted residential lot. Approval of both plats was subject to approval of the Zoning Change and Concept Plan. - On September 16, 2014, City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for Lots 2R and 6, R.D. Price No. 992 Addition, as well as a Plat Revision for Lot 2R, including approval of a variance to allow a double fronted residential lot(ZA14-094 and ZA14-095). Approval of both plats was subject to approval of the associated Zoning Change and Concept Plan noted above. - The Plat Revision for the property was recorded on September 1, 2015. SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The future land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential. Low Density Residential Purpose: Case No. Attachment A ZA26-0040 Pagel The purpose of the Low-Density Residential land use category is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential development that promotes the openness and rural character of Southlake. Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easement, and lots designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-Public categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake. Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The Master Thoroughfare Plan designates N. White Chapel a 70-foot undivided two-lane collector (C2U) and W. Bob Jones Road is a 60-foot undivided two-lane collector (C2U). The Master Pathways Plan calls for a minimum 5-foot future sidewalk on N. White Chapel Boulevard an equestrian/hiking trail on W. Bob Jones Road. Equestrian/hike trails are pathways that may vary in width depending on site conditions and user needs. They are preferred to be natural surface for hiking and/or horseback riding but may be concrete or asphalt depending on site conditions. The adjacent development to the east (Rainey Court) provided a sidewalk. The proposed concept plan shows a sidewalk along W. Bob Jones Road and N. White Chapel Boulevard. In addition, sidewalks are required on both sides of public and private streets in residential neighborhoods. The proposed concept plan shows sidewalks along both sides of the internal street. TREE PRESERVATION: There is 13.1% of existing tree cover on the property and a minimum of 70%of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved. A total of 75.3% of the existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved, and 24.7% is proposed to be removed. UTILITIES: The property is served by a 12-inch water meter. There is a sewer tap extending from the 8-inch sewer line. DRAINAGE: Drainage generally flows from west to east. The applicant is proposing three detention/retention ponds. CITZEN INPUT: This item was heard by the Corridor Planning Committee on April 22,2026. A SPIN meeting was held for this project on May 12, 2026. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: May 21, 2026; Approved (5-0) subject to the Staff Report dated May 15, 2026 and Revised Concept Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated May 15, 2026, without the requested variances for a residential driveway off a collector street and a private street with gate access.

White Chapel Contact: Sandy Endy, P.E. Email: sends a-)ci.southlake.tx.us Phone: (817) 748-8033 The following comments are based on the review of plans received on: 5/11/2026 It is the applicant's responsibility to contact the department representative shown above and make modifications as required by the comment. GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. The proposed design will require private drainage easements to allow for cross lot drainage. 2. Complete the Traffic Threshold Sheet, more specifically Criteria 2 and 3. The resubmitted sheet changed N/A to No. While it is understood that Criteria's 1-3 may not be met with this development, we will need the actual data entered into Criteria 2 and 3, rather than listing N/A or No. 3. Public Works will not permit driveways on top of their infrastructure (water/sewer), and manholes cannot be located within a driveway. Also, driveways cannot be located within a drainage easement. As currently shown the proposed driveways will be located within the drainage easements and partially within a utility easement. 4. Providing a residential driveway off a Collector street is not permitted when there is access to a residential street, per Driveway Ordinance No 634, Section 5.3c. Any deviation to this requirement would require that a variance be approved. 5. The proposed street was previously labeled as a separate lot since it was to be private, however, the revised submittal removed that label. If the streets are still proposed to be private, label as such. Sandra Endy, P.E.
