BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Frank Viola and Christopher Lamon
APPLICANT: David Lewis, Spry Surveyors
PROPERTY SITUATION: 4000 N. 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-1A” 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.
- On August 4, 2026, City Council approved a revised Concept Plan,
noting the concept plan is for eight (8) single family residential lots
and approving variances for a private street with gate access and a
residential driveway off of a collector street being W. Bob Jones
Road for Lot 6 only and requiring that drainage for the detention
pond on Lot 6 be directed 100% to the south and then east to west,

staying entirely on the property along the north border of Lots 5 and
7 to White Chapel Boulevard.
SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The future land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential.
Low Density Residential Purpose:
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 approved 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 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: A small portion of the site drains toward W. Bob Jones, and the
remainder of the site drains toward N. White Chapel through a serious of
storm pipe, and swales. The drainage design was updated from the
Zoning submittal to route drainage flow around the Rainey Court
subdivision toward N. White Chapel, as requested by City Council. The
Case No. Attachment A
ZA26-0040 Page 3
proposed development is proposing to capture the site drainage within
storm pipe and drainage swales towards the detention ponds within Lots
6, 7 and 8. The preliminary design does not provide water surface
elevations for the proposed ponds, however, the ponds will be required
to be designed to follow Ordinance 605 and provide a minimum top of
pond elevation to allow 1-foot of freeboard above the calculated water
surface elevation.
