Zoning Change and Concept Plan for Harris Methodist Southlake
PROJECT:
REQUEST: On behalf of Cambridge 114, Inc., HKS, Inc. is requesting approval of a zoning change
and concept plan for Harris Methodist Southlake, located at 1545 East Southlake
Boulevard. The current zoning is “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District with “O-1”
Office District uses and the requested zoning is “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District
with “O-1” Office District uses. Pending approval of this concept plan, a site plan must
also be submitted and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council prior to issuance of a building permit.
Following the January 17, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, a SPIN
meeting and separate neighbor/applicant meetings were held regarding this
development. As a result of the SPIN meeting and the meetings with neighbors, the
applicant has removed a row of parking on the southern lot, increased the distance
between the southern property line and the parking lot pavement, provided a
landscape plan for the southwestern corner of the property, and provided renderings of
the retaining wall. The SPIN meeting report is included as Attachment H.
At the April 17, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning & Zoning
Commission requested that the applicant consider including live oaks in the landscape
planting plan. The applicant responded by submitting a landscape planting plan that
includes 5 live oaks where 5 red cedars were previously shown.
A zoning change and concept plan was previously approved in 2003. The following
changes from the 2003 concept plan are proposed:
Modify building setbacks to allow for a zero lot line (zero building setback line) on
certain lots and to allow for subdivision into three lots (see the associated plat
revision case, number ZA06-171).
Add a separate, two-story, 45,000 gross square foot medical office building on the
south side of the site. On the previous concept plan, the proposed 45,000 square
foot medical office building was attached to the hospital.
Reduce total parking spaces from 685 spaces to 597 spaces. Reduce the parking
ratio for the Phase II medical office building from one space per 150 square feet of
floor area to one space per 167 square feet of floor area.
Increase the distance between the southern property line and the parking lot
pavement from 53.5 feet to approximately 59 feet (as measured by staff).
The maximum impervious coverage of the S-P-2 district as a whole shall not
exceed 70%.
As a result of the proposed subdivision of the property, the applicant is also requesting
Case No.
ZA07-146
to add the following development regulations:
Allow a front setback for the Phase 2 medical office building of no less than 5 feet.
No bufferyards are required along internal lot lines.
All of the other development regulations are consistent with the regulations approved
with the 2003 concept plan.

ACTION NEEDED:
2. Consider approval of second reading for a zoning change and site plan

CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE CITY ON 03/28/08 AND WE
OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE STIPULATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE CONDITIONS OF CONCEPT
PLAN APPROVAL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR
NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE CONTACT DENNIS KILLOUGH AT (817) 748-8072.
1.The following comments are in regard to parking:
a.Verify parking numbers. The second page of the site plan shows that 315 spaces are required
on Site A, 33 on Site B, and 270 on Site C for a total of 618 spaces. However, the first page of
the site plan states that only 597 spaces are required and only 597 spaces have been provided.
b.Provide a detailed breakdown of the parking calculation, including square footage of medical
office space, number of hospital beds, and number of hospital staff.
2.The following changes are needed with regard to labeling:
a.Correct the labels on the development to the west (Shops of Southlake property). The L.U.D.
is Town Center, the owner is Carroll 1709/Ltd., and the property has been developed.
b.Clean up the labels as to what is ‘new’ and ‘future’ or ‘under construction’. Remove “Under
Construction” from Summit Avenue, “Undeveloped” from Lot 4R, Block 1, Miron Addition,
and “Undeveloped” from the Shops of Southlake property.
3.Update the anticipated schedule of development in the Site Data Summary.
4.Dash in the boundaries of existing improvements on the site. Clearly show what has been constructed
(existing building and parking) and what will be constructed in the future.
5.Accurately depict the existing conditions on all adjacent properties. The development to the west
(Shops at Southlake) is fully constructed. The Miron Grove offices to the east are currently under
construction.
6.In the S-P-2 letter, clarify that the maximum impervious coverage is for the site as a whole and not per
lot.
Case No. Attachment E
ZA07-146 Page 1
7.Verify the bufferyard along the southern property boundary. The letter and the concept plan indicate
the bufferyard is 53 feet to the retaining wall foundation. However, staff measures approximately 55
feet between the southern property line and retaining wall and approximately 45 feet to the wall
foundation. Verify and correct as necessary. See applicant’s response to this comment in Attachment
C, page 3.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This case, which includes a zoning change and concept plan as well as a plat revision, was
originally presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission on January 17, 2008. At the meeting,
the case was tabled with a recommendation to hold a SPIN meeting.
Property Situation
The property is located at 1545 E. Southlake Blvd.
Development Details
The entire site is being replatted to divide the existing single lot into three lots for tax
purposes. The replat triggers the need for a zoning change and concept plan.
No changes are proposed for the northern portion of the property, where the hospital is
located. On the southern portion of the property, applicant is proposing a new 2 story
medical office building and 270 additional parking spaces. Applicant indicated that they
are not ready to build this proposed building in the near future.
Since the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the rear (southern) buffer has been
increased to approximately 60 feet and a row of parking has been removed.
Applicant will leave as many existing trees in the rear buffer as possible and will also
replant as many trees as feasible in the rear yard.
The wall proposed on the southern side of the property will be 14 feet tall at the highest
point.
QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION

QUESTION:
Harris Methodist has a 20 year lease
RESPONSE: .
What services will be offered in the proposed medical office building?

RESPONSE:
We will be coming back at a later date with a more detailed site plan.
