LAND USE CATEGORY: Office Commercial and Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District
REQUESTED ZONING: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District
HISTORY: No development activity has occurred on this site. A home currently

the existing off-site drive to the west is proposed to be converted to a
right-in/right-out drive. Common access easements are also proposed
to provide access to both the east and west.
E. Southlake Boulevard is a seven lane, undivided thoroughfare with a
continuous, two-way, center left turn lane.

Tree Preservation – Landscape Administrator
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. There are only seven (7) trees shown to exist within the interior of the lot and all are shown
to be removed except a 6” Post Oak that is within the west bufferyard and shown to be
“Boarderline” protected. A 22” Post Oak could be preserved if the three parking lot spaces in
the northwest corner were not needed for required parking.
BUFFERYARDS:
1. The applicant is proposing a 10’-A type bufferyard along the north property line adjacent to
the property to the north which is shown to be currently zoned Agricultural/Medium Density
Residential. A 10’-F1 type bufferyard would normally be required adjacent to
Agricutural/Medium Density Residential zoned property.
1. The applicant is requesting a variance to omit the east 5’-A bufferyard along the east
property line and the south 5’-A bufferyard adjacent to the north parking lot area of the
existing building, Building “A”.
USE OF BUFFERYARDS – A bufferyard may be used for passive recreation, such as
pedestrian, bike, or equestrian trails, provided that: (a) no plant material is eliminated; (b)
the total width of the bufferyard is maintained; and (c) all other regulations of this ordinance
are met. In no event shall the following uses be permitted in a bufferyard: playfields, stables,
Case No. Attachment E
ZA07-087 Page 3
swimming pools, tennis courts or similar facilities, accessory buildings, parking facilities, or
trash dumpsters.
If a variance is provided to omit the two bufferyards it is recommended that the plant
material required for the length of the two bufferyards be provided elsewhere on the
development site.
LANDSCAPE SUMMARY CHART:
1. The plant material shown to be Required and Provided within the North bufferyard is
incorrect. Please provide the at least the minimum amount of plant material required for the
length and type of the bufferyard.
2. The plant material calculations shown in the Interior Landscape Chart and Bufferyard
Landscape Chart provided on the Landscape Plan do not match the landscape charts
provided on the Site Plan. Please make sure that all portions of the landscape calculations
match and that the landscape plan conforms to the required calculations.
LANDSCAPE PLAN:
1. The Interior Landscape Summary Chart plant material calculations provided on the
Landscape Plan are incorrect. Based on the required interior landscape area the minimum
amount of plant material required is as follows. Please correct the interior landscape plant
material calculations.
Landscape % of Area In Canopy Accent Shrubs Ground Seasonal
Area Front & Side Trees Trees Cover Color
Require9,776 75% (6,959 19 39 244 1,466 196
d SF)
2. The north bufferyard type and plant material calculations are incorrect. The required
bufferyard is a 10’-F1 bufferyard and a 20% reduction in plant material cannot be taken
because the bufferyard width is not 20’ for full length of the bufferyard.
3. The 58.75’ west bufferyard type and plant material calculations are incorrect. The west
bufferyard is required to be a 10’-F1 bufferyard.
4. The 272.81’ south bufferyard length and plant material calculations are incorrect. The total
distance of the south lot line and required bufferyard is 191.53’.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
About ten (10) residents attended the citywide SPIN meeting for a proposed medical office building
on the north side of E. Southlake Blvd between Foxborough Ln and N. Carroll Ave. This “S-P-1”
Zoning Change & Site Plan proposal is for the development of a single-story medical office building
of 18,558 square feet on approximately 2.28 acres. The proposed building will match the
architectural style and color of the existing building immediately west of this site.
The development proposes to:
Provide a landscaped buffer between the property and the Foxborough residents to the
northwest;
Leave the remainder of the property undisturbed for the time being
Although many concerns were raised, none in attendance verbalized any major objections to the
development.
