PROJECT: Zoning Change and Site Plan for Mulino Ristorante EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Jeff VanCuren, Halbach Dietz Architects, on behalf of Marc Rhima, Rig Properties,
LLC, is requesting approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan for Mulino
Ristorante, on property described as Lot 4, T. Thompson No. 1502 Addition, and
located at 1125 Davis Boulevard. Current Zoning: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan
District. Requested Zoning: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood
#10.
DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Zoning Change and Site Plan
for a 522 square foot enclosed patio at Mulino Ristorante.
The existing patio and raised concrete area total 522 square feet. The proposal
includes constructing a roof and enclosing the entire 522-square-foot area with
windows. The existing riser room will remain accessible from the exterior through a
covered, unenclosed area. Because the project is limited to enclosing an existing
concrete surface, there will be no increase in impervious coverage, and no parking
will be affected.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Marc Rhima, Rig Properties, LLC
APPLICANT: Jeff VanCuren, Halbach Dietz Architects
PROPERTY SITUATION: 1125 Davis Boulevard, Suite #450
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 4, T. Thompson No. 1502 Addition
LAND USE CATEGORY: Retail Commercial
CURRENT ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan
HISTORY: The property was annexed into the City in 1987.
The building was built in 2002.
A Certificate of Occupancy permit was issued in 2017.
February 2, 1999; City Council approved a Zoning Change and Site Plan
(ZA98-137) to change the zoning from “AG” to “S-P-1” with “C-2” uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The future land use designation for the site is “Retail Commercial”.
Purpose and Definition: The Retail Commercial category is a lower‐ to
medium‐intensity commercial category providing for neighborhood‐type
retail shopping facilities and general commercial support activities. It is
intended to provide limited local retail and/or office uses which serve
neighborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this
category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby
maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This
category is intended to encourage comprehensively planned
developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial designation is
adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential
designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as office
or office‐related uses should be planned adjacent to the residential uses.
Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open
Space, Public/Semi‐Public, and Office Commercial categories previously
discussed.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
Davis Boulevard is identified as an A6D 130 to 140-foot arterial roadway
and W. Continental Boulevard is identified as a C2U 84-foot collector
roadway within the Southlake Mobility & Master Through Plan.
The Master Pathways Plan shows future <8’ sidewalks along Davis Blvd.
and W. Continental Blvd. A 5’ minimum sidewalk is required along both
streets.
UTILITIES: The site is served by a 6-inch water line main connected to a 12-inch water

line main along Davis Blvd. and an 8-inch sewer line main along Davis
Blvd.

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON
07/23/26 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 RYAN FIRESTONE AT (817) 748-8127.
1. Add a line to the Site Data Summary Table showing the proposed building area and the lot
coverage after the building addition is added.
2. Use a different pattern to show the canopies and awnings, and the building expansion. The
current drawing can be interpreted as an expanded canopy.
3. Parking should be calculated based on net floor area rather than gross floor area.
4. The Medi-Weightloss Clinic should be parked based on a retail use at a ratio of 1 space per
200 square feet, rather than the medical use parking ratio.
5. Based on the net floor area, the minimum parking requirement appears to be 60 spaces. The
current ordinance allows for a 10% reduction, which would reduce the minimum required
parking to 54 spaces.

Extend fire sprinkler heads from the interior of the business into the common exterior wall with dry
sidewall heads to provide proper coverage onto the patio enclosure.
Occupant load calculation will need to be evaluated for approved exiting.
Provide illuminated exit lighting with battery back-up above all required exit doors and pathways as
required to easily locate exits.
Install emergency egress lighting with battery back-up throughout the occupancy to allow for visibility
during emergency conditions.
