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

public of the issues and questions raised by residents and the general responses made. Responses as summarized in

case through the Planning and Zoning Commission and final action by City Council.
