REQUEST: On behalf of Robert Stevenson, Enrichment Enterprises is requesting
approval of a zoning change and site plan from “AG” Agricultural District to “S-
P-1” Detailed Site Plan District with “O-1” Office District uses. The plan
proposes the development of three (3) general office buildings on a lot of
approximately 2.89 acres.

District permitted uses and development regulations with the following
exceptions:
A portion of a parking space shall be allowed to encroach into the required
south (front) bufferyard as shown on the site plan.
Horizontal and vertical articulation shall be permitted as shown on the site
plan and architectural elevations.
A ratio of 1 space per 315 square feet shall be required for parking on the
site.
Covered parking shall be a permitted as an accessory use with the
following regulations:
No more than 6 spaces shall be permitted in one attached parking
o
structure
The minimum parking space size shall be 9 ft by 18 ft
o
The attached carport shall utilize similar materials as the primary
o
building
The following variances are being requested:
Driveway stacking: A stacking depth of 75 feet is required for the proposed

stacking depth of ±32 feet. (Driveway Ord. No. 634, Section 5.2.d)
This item appeared before City Council for first reading on December 18,
2007. Mayor Wambsganss stated that based on consultation with the city
attorney and citizen comments tonight that it is in everyone's best interest for
Council to remand this item back to P&Z for consideration without any City
Council involvement at that time. A motion was made and approved by the
City Council (6-0) to remand this case back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Due to approximately 48% of the surrounding area within 200 feet being
opposed to this request, if this item is approved at the first reading, a super
majority vote (the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (¾) of all the
members of the City Council) will be needed to approve this item at the
second reading.
Consider first reading for a zoning change and site plan

applicant is requesting that the plan be approved as proposed.
A Tree Preservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve
existing tree canopy cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by

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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Southlake Villa
About four (4) residents attended the citywide SPIN meeting for the proposed
Offices
on the north side of E. Southlake Blvd between White Chapel Blvd and Diamond Blvd
(entrance to Diamond Circle Estates). This 3-acre property adjacent to Diamond Circle Estates
(north and west) was recently considered for the location of a Calloway’s Nursery. This “O-1”
Zoning Change & Site Plan proposal is for three (3) two-story Tuscan-style general office buildings
totaling approximately 34,000 square feet of floor area.
The development proposes to:
Preserve large oaks on the property and keep existing grade as much as possible;
Provide an adequate bufferyard to the residents in Diamond Circle Estates
Construct Class ‘A’ professional offices in a Tuscan style; using stone and a low profile roof.
Look more residential than commercial
None in attendance verbalized any major objections to the development.
QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION
What is the height of the tower?
QUESTION:
Will the development be phased out? When do you propose beginning construction?
QUESTION:
SPIN Meeting Reports are general observations of SPIN Meetings by City staff and SPIN Representatives. The report is
neither verbatim nor official meeting minutes; rather it serves to inform elected and appointed officials, City staff, and the
public of the issues and questions raised by residents and the general responses made. Responses as summarized in
this report should not be taken as guarantees by the applicant. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to follow the
case through the Planning and Zoning Commission and final action by City Council.
