Item 6C Department of Planning & Development Services S T A F F R E P O R T March 12, 2008 ZA07-129 CASE NO: Zoning Change and Site Plan for Southlake Villa Offices PROJECT: 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 original plan proposed the development of three (3) general office buildings on a lot of approximately 2.89 acres. The plan has since been revised and now proposes (4) general office buildings. The “S-P-1” zoning will follow the uses and regulations of the “O-1” Office District permitted uses and development regulations with the following exceptions:  All fencing and required bufferyards shall be installed prior to the occupancy of the first building completed;  Covered parking shall be a permitted as an accessory use with the following regulations: 15 covered parking spaces shall be permitted as shown on the site o plan and elevations;  The entire 24’ driveway loop shall be constructed and meet City approval prior to occupancy of the first building completed;  Buildings on Lots 2, 3 and 4 will not exceed one story;  All buildings shall be stone masonry, barrel tile roof, cedar trim and shall be equal in materials and quality of construction;  The water retention feature in the southwest corner of the site shall be constructed, operational and meet City approval prior to occupancy of the first building completed.  Bufferyards shall not be required for interior lot boundaries, but shall be required as shown on the attached site plan and landscape plan;  Building setback lines/minimum yard requirements shall be in accordance with the attached site plan as presented;  Impervious lot coverage shall be as shown on the attached site plan as Case No. ZA07-129 presented; The following variances are being requested:  Driveway stacking: A stacking depth of 75 feet is required for the proposed driveway on E. Southlake Boulevard. The applicant is requesting a stacking depth of ±40 feet. (Driveway Ord. No. 634, Section 5.2.d)  Lot Frontage: Four lots are proposed, two of which shall front on a common access driveway; 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. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6-0) on January 3, 2008; subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 3, dated December 12, 2007; clarifying the applicant’s willingness to plant at least 4” caliper canopy trees on the northeast corner of the property to assist in the buffer; construct an 8’ masonry fence on the northern boundary; refurbish the existing fencing on the east and west sides by replacing wood along the masonry base between columns; and, granting the requested variance for driveway stacking. Following comments from residents and City Council members on January 15, 2008, the applicant tabled the item in order to redesign the plan to locate the two story building further from the residential properties. The more significant plan changes are as follows:  The two story building has been reduced from a ±25,000 square feet building to ±12,000 square feet building and was moved to the south approximately 160 feet. Originally, the two story portion of building was within ±110 feet of a residential property line. The new plan places the two story building ±170 feet from the nearest residential property line.  The total floor area of all buildings has been reduced from ±34,000 square feet to ±29,000 square feet.  The impervious coverage has been reduced from 65% to 61%.  The last plan presented showed total of two detached building pad sites with the eastern pad having a partial two story building. The new plan proposes four detached building pad sites with one two story building adjacent to E. Southlake Boulevard and three one story buildings. The City Council approved the first reading on March 4, 2008 and requested that the applicant Case No. ZA07-129 nd provide the following items for the 2 reading: Case No. ZA07-129 Item Comments 1.

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.
