Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #6 – The Overlook Meeting #52 – October 27, 2025 Page 3 ITEM #7 DISCUSSION – Review, discuss, and make recommendations regarding a proposed approximately 18-acre senior living development to be located on the southeast corner of N. Carroll Ave. and E. Highland St., and generally located north of The Westin Dallas Southlake Hotel and east of Cedar Ridge Office Park. Staff presentation: Ryan Firestone • Aerial • Future Land Use: Mixed Use, Office Commercial, and Retail Commercial • Zoning: CS and AG • Master Pathways Plan: minimum 8’ multi-use trail along the eastern portion of N. Carroll Ave. and a 5’ minimum sidewalk along E. Highland St. • Applicant Exhibits/Plans • Summary: The applicant is seeking to develop a Senior Living Community on approximately 18-acres. Questions for Staff Daniel Kubiak Will the city be working with the applicant on rebuilding Highland to where Highland gets built out the way the city would like and potentially even the roundabout there at Carroll? Dennis Killough: That will be a consideration of the development and will be taken into account with their traffic study and what the impacts are and whether or not that pushes the need for those additional lanes to be extended from Kirkwood to the Carroll frontage. They will at the very least be dedicating the right-of-way. We will make a determination as part of the application review whether those additional lane improvements are needed. Questions for Applicant Daniel Kubiak Is that underground (parking)? Applicant Well, it is underground at the entry arrival and it slopes down on the backside. There will be some slight retaining walls, but mostly underground. Daniel Kubiak? Will there be any other parking under the other building along Grace Lane? Applicant Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #6 – The Overlook Meeting #52 – October 27, 2025 Page 4 No. Daniel Kubiak What is the height of that building? Applicant (Shows slide of the height) 40’ Dr. Magdalena Battles What is the max capacity if all the housing is filled out, how many people will be living here? Applicant That is yet to be determined, but through market analysis, we are looking around 330 units depending on the mix (1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms, or a studio). The mix is 170 independent living, ± 70 assisted living, 21 for the tri-plex’s. Daniel Kubiak The independent living is 55 and up? Applicant Yes. Randy Robbins Is everything leased or is it a purchase option? Applicant It is a rental model, not the buy-in model. Daniel Kubiak I think you guys are hitting on most of the things you guys will hear throughout this process just in terms of height of buildings, density of buildings, intensity of the number of people. Clearly, senior housing is a lower intensity use, but just in terms of the number of people on the site is what the people will focus on. I would definitely socialize this in the community, especially with the community to the northeast. Randy Robbins I like the idea. It is almost like a semi-buffer, it is residential, but it’s not strictly residential. It does provide an interesting transition from 114 up through that commercial to that residential piece. It is intriguing. The drawings and such look top notch. I think you guys making it first class is a big piece of it. Dr. Magdalena Battles I would say that most people in the community are against high-density housing, but this is very different. It is not going to really impact the traffic that much because most of them are not driving. The level of quality is important and the location of it being on that Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #6 – The Overlook Meeting #52 – October 27, 2025 Page 5 side of 114 I think helps the case as well in my opinion. I think it looks like a great project, but I am not City Council. Daniel Kubiak I think what you need to do is tell the story that the land use request that you are requesting is a lower intense use than office or retail so that you can kind of help with questions about traffic or intensity. I think the use to me feels intuitive, but I think you’re going to get questions on the scale of the use and the height of the use. I think that is what you will have to navigate. Hopefully, you have a good environmental person because I think this used to be the old bus barn site, so if you’re putting residential on it then you are going to want to clean it up. Applicant Part of it is Mixed Use right now and we would probably be changing the whole thing to Mixed Use, but as you say it is a less intense use. Daniel Kubiak Well, you know the drill, I think that’s the story you are going to have to tell because you know as people get their arms around it and the alternatives that could play out and the pros and cons of each one.
